What educators are saying

It was a great resource foy my algebra class. They were engaged and finding this resource after one of my students questioned me "how he can apply linear functions in realf life?" was just the cherry on top for a successful week mini project :)

Description

Connect algebra to real life in this Graphing Linear Equations Project. This project based learning activity is perfect for students to write a linear equation, graph the function, and analyze characteristics of the graph. Plus, they have fun discovering that linear equations are all around us! This resource includes SIX different projects (100% editable) from basic to advanced levels of Pre-Algebra and Algebra.

The real-life topics:

• Cell phone plans

• Hourly Wages

• Frequent Flyer Miles

• Temperature Conversions

• Taxi Fares

• Car Depreciation (linear)

OBJECTIVE: Analyze a linear equation in a real world setting. Students will be able to demonstrate your knowledge and understanding of the following skills:

Write a linear equation that represents a real world scenario.
Create a table to represent data for the linear equation.
Graph the linear equation.
Create a visual demonstrating this real world scenario.
Answer questions about the real world scenario by analyzing the equation, table, and graph.

CCSS8.F.A.1

Understand that a function is a rule that assigns to each input exactly one output. The graph of a function is the set of ordered pairs consisting of an input and the corresponding output.

CCSS8.F.A.2

Compare properties of two functions each represented in a different way (algebraically, graphically, numerically in tables, or by verbal descriptions). For example, given a linear function represented by a table of values and a linear function represented by an algebraic expression, determine which function has the greater rate of change.

CCSS8.F.A.3

Interpret the equation 𝘺 = 𝘮𝘹 + 𝘣 as defining a linear function, whose graph is a straight line; give examples of functions that are not linear. For example, the function 𝘈 = 𝑠² giving the area of a square as a function of its side length is not linear because its graph contains the points (1,1), (2,4) and (3,9), which are not on a straight line.

CCSS8.F.B.4

Construct a function to model a linear relationship between two quantities. Determine the rate of change and initial value of the function from a description of a relationship or from two (𝘹, 𝘺) values, including reading these from a table or from a graph. Interpret the rate of change and initial value of a linear function in terms of the situation it models, and in terms of its graph or a table of values.

CCSS8.F.B.5

Describe qualitatively the functional relationship between two quantities by analyzing a graph (e.g., where the function is increasing or decreasing, linear or nonlinear). Sketch a graph that exhibits the qualitative features of a function that has been described verbally.
