Discrete or Continuous Linear Relationships 7th 8th Algebra

Are you searching for a complete math lesson to teach your middle school students in 7th or 8th grade algebra class about the two different kinds of linear relationships- discrete & continuous?

Do you want to make it clear how equations along with tables of values and simple graphs can be used to easily model realistic, everyday situations including time, temperature, money, and more? This discrete and continuous linear relationship lesson has you covered!

In the four pages of included handouts & worksheets your algebra students will:

• Learn the key vocabulary terms: linear relation, discrete linear relations, continuous linear relations, independent variables, and dependent variables.

• Determine the independent versus dependent variables in 10 real-world scenarios.

• Sort the ten real-world scenarios into discrete versus continuous linear relationships.

• Complete the included tables of values, write equations to represent real-world situations, and graph the data from two word problems (using integers on a coordinate plane with four quadrants).

• Self-assess their skills from this lesson.

Grades to Use With:

This algebra lesson is specially designed for students in 7th grade or 8th grade who are learning all about linear relationships including graphs, tables of values, and equations using two variables: independent & dependent.

It could be used in high school math classes as a review or in special education settings where appropriate.
