Slope/Rate of Change FOLLOW THE PATTERN

Slope/Rate of Change FOLLOW THE PATTERN
Math, Algebra, Grade 8, Activities

This resource was developed to support the requirements of the 8th Grade Functions Standards below, specifically RATE OF CHANGE. CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.8.F.B.4 Construct a function to model a linear relationship between two quantities. Determine the rate of changeand 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. This practice is meant to be basic and will hopefully help your students bridge the gap between learning about slope and then switching to graphing slope & y-intercept all in one. This should allow your students to focus just on slope before adding in the skill of identifying and plotting the y-intercept as well. If this is the first time your students have followed a slope pattern on a graph, I recommend this as a direct instruction activity , at least until they get the hang of it!
