Understandings:

Click to enter the understandings you want students to have. Understandings are fact-based conclusions that require inquiry before they are grasped. These are often described in a 'Students should understand that' statement.

Content Goals:

1: Students know content vocabulary: slope, intercept, standard form, slope-intercept form, direct variation, linear function, linear equation.
2: Students understand linear equations graph as a straight line, slope represents rate of change/ rise over run/ steepness of the line, intercepts are the points where linear equations intersect the x- and y-axis. Students understand the slope of a direct variation is known as constant of variation.
3: Students are able to state slope and intercepts of a linear equation. Are able to write the "rule", linear function, of a situation, solve situational problems involving linear functions by graphing and analyzing the graph.
4: Students are able to write the linear function of a situation and solve it algebraically. Students can justify analysis of situational problems.

Skill Goals:

1: Students will be able to match vocabulary terms and definitions.
2: Students will be able to plot linear equations given coordinates of two points. From plotted line students will be able to determine slope and intercepts and write linear equation in slope-intercept form.
3: Students will be able to translate the linear function of a graph and of a situational problem. Students will be able to answer questions pertaining to situational problems.
4: Students will be able to solve situational
