We include both the PowerPoint and KeyNote versions of our two popular graphing units.
The two units contain between 10 and 16 lessons of focused study. Students practice basic skills and are then encouraged to deepen their understandings. The units contain review questions, journal writing prompts, and interactive inquiry opportunities.
Designed to suit classes of different abilities.
KeyNote* presentations and supporting worksheets provide between 8 and 12 lessons of focused study.
Covers: The y-intercept, postive and negative slope, and their connection to the coefficient and constant of a linear equation.
Activities include:
Highly scaffolded activities to allow all abilities to practice core skills.
Pattern finding activities to extend the learning for those who can race ahead.
Review questions to probe and extend understanding.
Journal writing opportunities that promote and challenge communication of understanding.
Inquiry activities that use freely available virtual graphing applications, accessible using the browser of any smartphone, tablet, or pc.
*KeyNote files uploaded as ZIP files because TES doesn't support their file type. To preview their contents look at the PowerPoint versions.
Designed to suit classes of different abilities.
KeyNote* presentations and supporting worksheets provide between 2 and 4 lessons of focused study.
Covers: Starting with positive coordinates in quadrant 1, students practice finding points in all four quadrants.
Activities include:
Highly scaffolded activities to allow all abilities to practice core skills.
Review questions to probe and extend understanding.

The first of two presentations that introduce coordinates. A preview slide lists the skills to be introduced and practiced, and a review slide contains some comprehension questions to challenge the whole class to think more deeply. A separate activity scheet for individual practice is available that complements this presentation.
