BrainPop Lesson Plan

Graphing linear equations. (2 day lesson plan-Hybrid)

Background: This lesson is meant for 8th grade pre algebra where 100% of the students scored basic or below basic on the 7th grade PSSA math test and also on the CDT Testing. Class size would be 20-25. This would be a 2 day lesson in which half the students would be working with me on and the other half would be working on the computers, then the next day the groups would switch

Lesson: Graphing Linear Equations

Learning goal: The students will be able to graph linear equations by interpreting the slope and the y-intercept of the equation.

Computer GROUP:

Students will immediately log in to Schoology and make an initial response to the DO NOW question.

DO NOW: Review. How does the line change when “b” is increased? How does the slope change? (the line moves up in the graph, but the slope does not change)

Practice problems 4.3 1-5. After completing the DO NOW, students will answer questions assigned on BigIdeasMath.com questions 1-7. This is a review of 4.3 and students should be able to answer the questions on their own. If they need help, there is an accompanying screencast that goes with these problems.

BrainPop: After completing the BigIdeas problems, students will click on the link provided in schoology (and below) to complete the 6 question challenge. Students must copy/past screenshots in a discussion in order to show that they are completing the work. If they get a question wrong, they must explain how their equation was different and why they got it wrong (see picture example)

When students finish the Brainpop challenge, students should create their own lines/equations and post them in a discussion.
