Linear Relationships
Your work with linear relationships build upon your seventh grade knowledge of linear patterns. To demonstrate knowledge with linear relationships include the following:
- Example of a linear table with paragraph explaining of why the table is linear.
- Example of a linear graph with a paragraph explaining why the graph is linear.
- Example of a linear equation with a paragraph explaining why the equation is linear.
- Each example/paragraph should use key vocabulary from the unit
- Each example/paragraph should include supplemental pictures or diagrams to aid in explanation
- Each example/paragraph should make connections to real world concepts
- Parent Problem
- Make up a problem drawn from something you were asked to learn in this unit and ask someone at home to solve it. Include a copy of the problem with your solution, to be used as a key.
- You may make the problem challenging but not extremely difficult. The parent problem should have some depth, and may be somewhat like a three step homework problem. Ask for work to be shown and reasoning to be explained in writing.
- If the person is struggling, offer hints or clues to help. When the problem is solved, give the response a letter grade and comments. Then, write a paragraph describing the whole process. Include your parent’s work in the portfolio.
- Reflection
- In a paragraph, describe something you learned from linear equations. This could be something new you came to understand since seventh grade, something still puzzling you, a connection you made between math concepts or from math to the real world, or something else.
- Tell why you've included this information and your feelings about it.
