Instructional Ideas
  • Use as a review for writing linear equations given various pieces of information
  • Assign pupils several problems given various pieces of information mixed together; have them write the equation in just point-slope form
Classroom Considerations
  • Pupils should already have an understanding of writing equations of lines, as the lesson is designed as a review
  • Requires Internet access to watch a YouTube video
  • A continuation of a 29-part series about functions
  • This video is hosted on YouTube
Pros
  • The instructor breaks down the ways the information can be presented into three categories, allowing learners to see the relationships between all types
  • Simplifies all problems to slope-intercept form
Cons
  • None
