Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Linear Relationships. Suitable for Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.

Main Concepts

The slope of a vertical line is undefined and the slope of a horizontal line is 0. Either of these cases might be considered “no slope.” Thus, the phrase “no slope” should be avoided because it is ambiguous and “non-existent slope” and “slope of 0” should be distinguished from each other.
The starting point for a function is the first value of the input.
The rate of change is the slope of the interpreted function of the graph.
Determine the y-intercept of a function.
Construct a function to model a linear relationship between two quantities.

Discussion Questions

Before the Game

What is slope, and how can you calculate it? What is y-intercept? What is always true about the x coordinate of our y-intercept? How do you write an equation when using a table? How do you write an equation when looking at a graph? What does the line look like when the slope is zero?

After the Game

What method did you use to solve these problems? What is the relationship between slope and the values of x and y? If a line has no slope and a y-intercept of 3, what does the line look like? When pulling information from a word problem what do you need to know to be able to graph it? How did you figure out the y-intercept from the table - from the graph? How did you figure out the slope from table - from the graph?
