LESSON PLAN
Lesson Title: Graphing Equation of a Line:
Slope-Intercept Form
Grade: Grade 8
Lesson Length: 90 minutes
LEARNERS
CHARACTERISTICS
Learning Styles
Students comes from a variety of economic and social backgrounds and their learning
styles vary from: auditory, visual, tactile and kinesthetic. However, some students have
difficulty maintaining focus during class. In order to overcome this issue, lesson must
accommodate the students’ attention span and also to facilitate their individualized
preferred needs.
Entry Skills
Students already knows the basic concepts of slope and intercepts of a line; however
they cannot carry out the task in graphing an equation of a line in slope-intercept form.
STATE OBJECTIVES
The students will be involved in the online game “Marbleslides: Lines” from
the website --https://teacher.desmos.com/marbleslides-lines developed by the
team of educators at the Desmos. This interactive activity asks students to
manipulate a series of linear equations in order to collect the 4 stars on a given
page. Once students have completed collecting the four stars they can then
move on to the next slide. To start this activity, a teacher would create a class
code from activity launch page, then they would need to distribute the class
code so students could access the activity. Once students are inside the activity,
the first slides inform them of how the activity works.
MODIFICATION
The first slides include how to use the launch bottom, how to change one
of the parameters of a linear equation (slope or y intercept) to collect the stars,
and how to reset the equation is you make a mistake. These first sets of
activities are called “Fix-it” tasks. Besides having to have some prior
knowledge about the basic properties of linear equations, students will also be
introduced to creating restrictions on a line to make it start or stop at a given
point. Teacher will use built-in tools like the thumbs up mode, or the pause
button so they can lead a whole class discussion to intervene when students
are struggling.
