Lesson Objective

Students will learn to graph linear functions by plotting points on a line derived from tables.

What is the relationship between an equation and its graph?

ordered pair
x-coordinate
y-coordinate
linear equation
proportional relationship

8.EE.B.5: Graph proportional relationships, interpreting the unit rate as the slope of the graph.

Students will explore the connection between linear equations and their graphical representations by plotting coordinates from a table to form a line. (DOK 2)

Incorrectly plotting coordinates (x,y) or failing to recognize that a linear equation forms a straight line.
