Unit 6: Expressions and Equations (Fractional Slope)
Duration of Days: 15
The basics of slope-intercept form, specifically how to identify the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) and understand their correct placement within the equation.
How to interpret and apply fractional slopes and slope across all four quadrants.
The real-life context and meaning of slope and y-intercept.
Practice scaffolding techniques to independently create linear equations.
Focus on the basic elements of finding the y-intercept and slope from graphs or contexts.
-
