In this class, we will discuss how to graph a line using the y=mx+b formula. Students should be familiar with Pre Algebra Concepts (variables, like terms, and simple equations). We will discuss slope and how to find it. We will also discuss graphing on a coordinate plane and how to find the formula using a graph. We will be using Desmos to help with graphing along with other presentation materials. We will cover.... Parts of the Graph Graphing Points Finding Slope (from the formula, graph, and two points) Finding the Y-intercept Graphing Lines from Equations Writing the equation Solving for Y (time permitting) Solving for B (time permitting) Parallel and Perpendicular Lines (time permitting)
Graphing Paper is not required, but it will be useful for the students.
I have been tutoring Algebraic Math for nearly 10 years. I currently teach Foundations of Math and Math 1 (in Spanish) where graphing is a big focus. I make this topic interesting by including a song, drawings, and applications.
