Best Activities for Creating Linear Equations in Slope-Intercept Form

I love building problems for my class, but they take a long time to get right.  Fortunately, many of you have shared your own extraordinary work.  Starting with this post, I’ll try to consolidate my best finds under the tag “best of.” Here are my favorites for creating linear equations in slope-intercept form. #1: Stacking Cups … Read moreBest Activities for Creating Linear Equations in Slope-Intercept Form

Three Favorites: Linear, Exponential, and Quadratic Applications

When I build activities, I often look for patterns in things we talk about outside of class.  Here are three of our favorites from this school year. Early P.S. Don’t skip the final section of this post.  It’s where I explain why they’re our favorites.  Spoiler:  It’s not about the content.
