Week 3
Outline for second half of course
​
Module 3: Writing Equations of Lines
-
Class Meeting Link and Agenda
-
YouTube video lesson – Writing Equations in Point-Slope Form.
o https://youtu.be/1MFDyXwfz6A
o This video teaches students how to write an equation in Point-Slope form from a graph and a table. The important part is that it shows that point-slope can be used with any point on the line.
-
YouTube video lesson – Convert from the Slope-Intercept Form to the Standard Form.
o https://youtu.be/RubZ-JutHVI
o This video goes through the steps of converting an equation in slope-intercept form into standard form.
-
YouTube video lesson – Convert from the Standard Form to Slope Intercept Form of a Line.
o https://youtu.be/MfkMsY7I6qw
o This video takes an equation from standard form and converts it to slope-intercept form by solving for y.
-
Edia.app practice problems on writing equations of lines and converting them to different forms.
o Learners will practice writing equations of lines in different formats. They are shooting for 8 correct answers. Work can be shown on the app for feedback from teacher.
-
Find It and Fix It activity (50 pts)
o Google Form activity where students are given an equation or a graph along with three statements. They must find out which statement is incorrect and then rewrite it in order to make it correct.
o Due Friday.
-
FlipGrid assignment (100 pts)
o Students will be tasked with choosing any two points and creating a video that will demonstrate how to write an equation of a line that goes through those points. They must start with finding the slope, writing an equation in point-slope form, then converting it into slope-intercept and standard forms.
Module 4: Working Together on Lines
-
Week 4 Meeting Link and Agenda
-
Flipgrid demonstration peer evaluations (20 pts)
o Students will look at Flipgrid assignments turned in for Module 3 and choose two of them to critique to see if the person did the work properly to come up with a correct equation.
-
Desmos Polygraph: Lines
o Students will need to coordinate a time to meet as a group to join the Desmos classroom platform and go through this activity. The computer pairs students up to play a game of “guess who” with linear graphs. Students must ask/answer yes or no questions using vocabulary from the course to determine which graph was chosen.
o Request that students meet on Thursday to do activity so that reflection journal can be done by Friday.
-
Performance Assessment (60 pts)
o Students given three sets of information to write equations of lines from. They must write them in
point-slope form, slope-intercept form, and standard form. This allows for me to see if they are retaining the information from week 3.
-
Reflection Journal post over polygraph activity (20 pts)
o What types of questions made finding the graph easier? Be specific.
Module 5: Seeking Knowledge to be Shared
-
Week 5 Meeting Link and Agenda
-
Video library task
o Students are asked to find a video {other than ones used already) that goes over a topic from the unit to add to a virtual library to be used for review and future classes.
-
Reflection journal (20 pts)
o How is your video selection helpful in learning or remembering the topic that it goes over?
o Due by Friday.
-
Formal unit test (150 pts)
o A test comprised of short answer and multiple choice questions over the topics discussed in the course.
o Due on Saturday.
