You will be doing an inquiry-based assignment answering the question:

Which is the best cell phone plan and why?

Activity Instructions:

1. Search for "line chart" in Canva and choose one to use for your project. Note: Canva uses the vocabulary "line chart," but the math vocabulary is "line graph."

2. Add your name, date, and period to your assignment. Add a title to your assignment. Label your axes. The x-values are in dollars and the y-values are in months.

3. Set up your table by double-clicking on the graph. Use the following x-value increments: 0, 1, 6, 12.

4. Look up 5 different cell phone plans. Input the following data into the table for each plan:

The name of the line

The initial cost

The total cost after 1 month, 6 months, and 12 months

5. Determine the equation for each line and add it to your project under the line names (do not add this to your table!).

6. Add a blank page to your project and answer the following questions:

1)

7. Upload your project to Padlet under "Class Activities."

8. Add a comment or questions to at least one other person's project.

Graphing a Line Using Slope-Intercept Equation - Activity

# data[].attributes.body
Learning Objective:

I will be able to graph a line given the slope-intercept equation.

Standard: CCSS.MATH.8.F.A.3

Activity Instructions:

1. For homework, watch the Khan Academy video Graphing a Line From the Slope-Intercept Equation (link below). Make sure to take notes and figure out the step-by-step process used to graph. https://www.khanacademy.org/math/cc-eighth-grade-math/cc-8th-linear-equations-functions/8th-slope-intercept-form/v/graphing-a-line-in-slope-intercept-form

2. In class, you will complete a video project by creating a Loom presentation using the equation

y=(1/4)x+1 to graph.

3. Create a script for your presentation and practice graphing using the graphing whiteboards. Your presentation needs to be 5 minutes or less.

4. Next, use the document camera to show your presentation using the graphing whiteboards.

5. Finally, record on Loom by overlaying your voice while you present on the document camera.

6. Email your assignment to me.

Post any questions in the comments while you are at home or talk to me during class.

Targeted Learners:
The targeted learners are those with learning disabilities who need visuals and manipulatives to understand math concepts.  They are at an eighth-grade level.  The content area is Math 8.
Standard: CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.8.EE.C.7.B which is
"solving linear equations with rational number coefficients, including equations whose solutions require expanding expressions using the distributive property and collecting like terms".
Learning Objective:
Students will be able to apply the distributive property to algebraic expressions using algebra tiles.
Activity Instructions:
Watch the YouTube video on how to apply the distributive property to algebraic expressions. Follow along with her examples using your own algebra tiles.  In the comments, post your own problem.  Then, solve a classmate's problem.  Post your answer with an explanation of why you are correct.  Make sure to use your algebra tiles to find the answer.
Collaboration:
A comments section has been added to the post. Through the comments, students will contribute problems for their classmates to solve. I will comment with questions and encouragement.
