Forms of Linear Equations

I created this forms of linear equations foldable to help my Algebra 1 students learn the name and characteristics of each of the three forms of linear equations. I modified a simple four-door foldable to have students cut off the first flap in order to reveal the title of our foldable: Forms of Linear Equations. …

I put together this rearranging equations for y foldable for my Algebra 1 students. Since the first step I have my students do to graph inequalities is to rearrange them into slope-intercept form, I decided to do a bit of practice.   But, here’s my silly mistake.  I should have made these inequalities to rearrange …

I created this simple page of notes over converting equations to slope-intercept form for my Algebra 1 students to write in their interactive notebooks.

I created this point-slope form dice activity for my Algebra 1 students. This year I did something wrong.  Something seriously wrong. What did I do wrong?  I’m not entirely sure.   But, my students are convinced that point-slope form is easier than slope intercept form.  This. Has. Never. Happened. Before.  My students normally dread point-slope …

I created this Different Forms of Linear Functions Foldable for my Algebra 1 students to glue in their interactive notebooks. In the past, I have taught each different form of linear functions separately. This year, I decided to introduce them all at once. The jury is still kinda out on whether that was a good …

I created this linear foldable to review linear functions with my Algebra 2 students. This year, I made the decision to teach my students about linear functions in the form y = a+bx instead of the typical y = mx+b.  Let me tell you, this is a hard thing to do.  First off, I’ve always …

Original Version of Flyswatter Review Game I created this flyswatter review game to give my Algebra 1 students practice identifying the different forms of linear equations. A little over a week ago, my Algebra 1 students took their test over graphing linear equations.  This test covered finding slope, x and y intercepts, graphing linear equations, …

Here’s a Point-Slope Form Foldable I created for my Algebra 1 classes to glue in their interactive notebooks. It covers writing an equation given a slope and a point, writing an equation given two points, and graphing an equation in point-slope form. Today, my Algebra 1 students learned about point-slope form.  This is the third …

After my Algebra 1 students finished their standard form of a linear equation foldable, I created a standard form cut and paste activity for my students to complete. I chose a equation in standard form that I wanted them to practice converting to slope intercept form.  I printed each element in the original equation, new …

Today I’m sharing a standard form of a linear equation foldable I created for my Algebra 1 classes.  Last week, my Algebra 1 students worked with linear equations in both slope intercept form and standard form.  We practiced graphing equations in standard form by converting to slope intercept form and by graphing intercepts.  At first, …

Yesterday, I finally introduced my Algebra 1 students to slope intercept form using a new y=mx+b foldable that I created. .  I have had several students who have been really anxious to get to this part of the chapter.  These are students who are taking Algebra 1 for the second time or have moved in …
