2. Target Audience 8 th grade Math Inclusion class Connected Math (CMP3)

3. Goals, Objectives and Outcomes: Students would be able to: identify and solve for slope a. on a graph b. from a table c. from an equation

4. Launch Do Now: What do you know about the table and the graph of a function with the equation y=3x+2? What do the numbers 3 and 2 tell you about the table and graph values?

5. Climbing A Staircase With a partner investigate the staircase in our school. What is the height of the step (in inches)? What is the depth of each step (in inches)?

6. Creating a Table Record the information you gathered from your investigation of the staircase. X is the height Y is the depth

7. Create a graph with the information from the table. Be sure to have all the parts of the graph labeled and USE A RULER! Creating a Graph

8. Creating An Equation Use the information from the table and graph to create the linear equation:

9. Evaluations/Assessment Techniques Students will create a poster with: –Table –Graph –Equation –Computer generated table and graph –Homework –This poster will serve as the evaluation of the students’ understand and be grade an formal assessment.

10. DASH Students are to log on to: www.mathdashboard.com/cmp3 www.mathdashboard.com/cmp3 Dash web site to use the table and graphing function  Students are to compare their work to the print out from DASH
