Proportionality and Linear Relationships · Term 1

Writing Linear Equations from Tables

Writing the equation of a line in y=mx+b form given a table of values.

Key Questions

  1. Explain how to identify the constant rate of change (slope) from a table of values.
  2. Construct the equation of a line that accurately represents a given table of data.
  3. Analyze how to find the y-intercept when it is not explicitly shown in the table.

5E Model

The 5E Model structures lessons through five phases (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate), guiding students from curiosity to deep understanding through inquiry-based learning.

unit planner

Math Unit

Plan a multi-week math unit with conceptual coherence: from building number sense and procedural fluency to applying skills in context and developing mathematical reasoning across a connected sequence of lessons.

rubric

Math Rubric

Build a math rubric that assesses problem-solving, mathematical reasoning, and communication alongside procedural accuracy, giving students feedback on how they think, not just whether they got the right answer.
