8th Grade Math Unit 11
Linear Relationships Extended
10 Instructional Days - 6th 6 Weeks
Hyperlinks are for content teachers
Big Idea:
Extend previous knowledge to prepare for Algebra including topics such as solving equations and inequalities with variables on both sides, distributive property, factoring, functions, and graphing.
Student Expectations:
Focus TEKS
8.4(B) [Supporting] Graph proportional relationships, interpreting the unit rate as the slope of the line that models the relationship.
8.5(B) [Supporting] Represent linear non-proportional situations with tables, graphs, and equations in the form of y=mx+b where b is not = to 0.
8.8(A) [Supporting] Write one-variable equations or inequalities with variables on both sides that represent problems using rational number coefficients and constants.
8.8(B) [Supporting] Write a corresponding real-world problem when given a one-variable equation or inequality with variable on both sides of the equal sign using rational number coefficient and constants.
8.8(C) [Readiness] Model and solve one-variable equations with variables on both sides of the equal sign that represent mathematical and real-world problems using rational number coefficients and constants.
8.12(F) [Supporting] Analyze situations to determine if they represent financially responsible decisions and identify the benefits of financial responsibility and the costs of financial irresponsibility.
Student Learning Targets:
- I will extend my previous knowledge to prepare for Algebra including topics such as solving equations and inequalities with variables on both sides, distributive property, factoring, functions, and graphing.
- I will write an explanation next to each step in the equation justifying that step performed.
Essential Questions:
- How do the concepts learned in this unit help solve more complex real world problems?
