I downloaded this Linear vs Nonlinear Card Sort Activity from Middle School Math Aplenty on Teachers Pay Teachers. I used our lesson over linear vs non-linear graphs as graphing calculator practice for my Algebra 2 students. Students rearranged each equation to get y by itself and entered it in their graphing calculator. After getting their …

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, …
Today, I want to share a parallel and perpendicular lines foldable I used to introduce the concepts of these different types of lines to my Algebra 1 classes. Quote of the Day: “I’m going to name my kid ‘Perpendicular.’” I’m not the biggest fan of what I had my students write inside the foldable. It …
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, …
My Algebra 1 students created this page in their interactive notebooks to help them remember how to do rise over run. We glued in a positive and a negative sign. One each symbol, we wrote the directions to rise and run in order to make each type of slope. Download Plus and Minus Signs
I want to share a HOY VUX foldable I created to remind my students how to graph vertical and horizontal lines. During my student teaching experience, my eighth graders really struggled with graphing horizontal and vertical lines. I was not presenting this material to them for the first time but reviewing it with them before …
Do you want to give your students lots of practice finding the slope between two points? Do you want to spark the interests of your students about what you will be learning that day? More than that, do you want to spark the interests of every single person who walks into your room? Inspired by …
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 …
My Algebra 1 students recently completed a four types of slope pictures project. I’m excited to share the resulting slope artwork with you! This weekend and today were spent attending my first ever student council state convention. It was full of fun and games and amazing speakers, but I have to admit that I am …
Less than a year ago, I made my first every foldable – a slope foldable. It was one of those random ideas you get in the shower. Or maybe I’m the only person who thinks about how to teach various math concepts in the shower… I made it. I loved it. I blogged about it. …
During student teaching, my first cooperating teacher at the high school level shared with me the slope tree method of teaching slope. After introducing what slope was, we asked the students to draw a tree in their notes. However, they couldn’t draw just any tree. Instead, they would learn how to draw a special kind …
