Lesson Plan : Graphing equations
Teacher Name: | Madame X |
Grade: | Grade 9-10 |
Subject: | Math |
Topic: | Graphing linear equations using intercepts |
Content: | Algebra linear equations x-intercept y-intercept |
Goals: | Students will identify linear equations and graph them using 2-3 coordinate points. |
Objectives: | Students will be able to graph linear equations using the x and y intercepts. |
Materials: | Overhead; overhead master |
Introduction: | What is the x-intercept? y-intercept? On a coordinate grid, identify x-axis, y-axis, then plot points: (5,0) and (0,4). Define x-intercept: the coordinate at which a graph intersects the x-axis. y-intercept: the coordinate at which a graph intersects the y-axis. |
Development: | Given the equation 5x-4y= -20 We can find the x-and y-intercepts and graph the equation x-intercept y-intercept (y=0) (x=0)________________________________________________ 5x-4(0)=-20 5(0)-4y = -20 5x =-20 -4y = -20 5x/5=-20/5 -4y/-4 = -20/ -4 x=-4 y = 5 Graph x and y on a grid and connect the points. |
Practice: | Using a worksheet, students will work with a partner showing their work on individual slates with dry-erase markers |
Accommodations: | Sudents functioning 4 grade levels below: will pass out color coded index cards to show partners. students functioning 2 grade levels below: will pass out slates and dry erase markers and erasers. On grade level students will complete worksheet by writing down solutions and turn it in. |
Checking For Understanding: | Exit check |
Closure: | today we learned how to graph linear equations by using x and y intercepts. |
Evaluation: | 8 out 10 correct or 80% on worksheet done independently |
Teacher Reflections: | How to create a more fluid lesson with students not getting distracted by the lack of structure , i.e. not using paper and pencil activity on desks. |
