 * Lesson Topic and Description:** Graphing Linear Equations

 **__Focus on Concepts__** - What do we mean by ‍‍rate of change ‍‍- What does the solution to a linear equation look like - Visual representation of solutions vs relation - Why do we use different forms of these equations - How can we use linear equations to represent real world situations

**__Enrichment__**
scatterplots/lines of best fit (correlation v. causation) make predictions based on the "trend-line" introduce systems of equations

**__More Advanced Reading and Vocabulary__**
Focus on proper terminology

**__Use of Primary Sources, Artifacts, and Real World Objects__**
Population growth charts Distance/time traveled during various points in a trip (vacation)

**__Interdisciplinary Connections__**
Social Studies; population growth; unemployment rates; Science : Ocean tides?, Distance of planets from sun during orbit? Economics: snowfall vs. Snow shovel sales, etc., supply/demand

**__Fosters Creative Expression__**
Student created survey, graph results on scatter plot, find trend line, calculate slope/equation

**__Exploration of Areas of Choice__**
= = =﻿Level of Thinking Questions:= knowledge; Define slope comprehension: Find the slope and y intercept of the given line Application: Given a two points write the equation of a line in slope intercept form Analysis: Given information on a study for two vehicles. Graph the info, compare/contrast the gas mileage for each vehicle. synthesis: Given two cell phone plans, when will Plan A be the best? Plan B? Justify your answers. Evaluation: Develop your own situation, write the linear equation for the situation, create the graph,
