2.6 Rates, Graphs, and Linear Equations
Description:Teach slope-intercept form now, while rates of change are fresh in their minds. This early focus on slope-intercept form gives students months to master the main ideas. Later, in your unit on linear functions, they'll have a solid foundation for your teaching of standard and point-slope form. This lesson builds smoothly on 2.3-2.5 and uses real-world problems to help students make meaning from the symbols. A companion PowerPoint is being created.
