What educators are saying

My students really enjoyed creating this resource. It was a great follow up for our graphing in slope intercept form.

— Crystal O.

Rated 5 out of 5

We have reviewed and gone over Slope-Intercept in both my Geometry and Algebra 2 classes. This activity adds something different to just graphing lines, it does it with a purpose. It's fun but also engaging work on a topic that is used all the way into Algebra 3.

Description

This Thanksgiving Algebra activity will strengthen your students’ skills in graphing lines in slope intercept form.

Students are given a graph with 12 turkeys on it and 12 y=mx+b equations. Students will cut out each equation and graph the line on the turkey graph. They will then glue the equation next to the turkey that it “caught”. Turkeys are “caught” when a line runs through any part of their body. Precision is key in this activity as each line should only run through 1 turkey. If a line runs through more than 1 turkey the student was not precise enough.

Standards

CCSS8.F.A.2

Compare properties of two functions each represented in a different way (algebraically, graphically, numerically in tables, or by verbal descriptions). For example, given a linear function represented by a table of values and a linear function represented by an algebraic expression, determine which function has the greater rate of change.

CCSS8.F.A.3

Interpret the equation 𝘺 = 𝘮𝘹 + 𝘣 as defining a linear function, whose graph is a straight line; give examples of functions that are not linear. For example, the function 𝘈 = 𝑠² giving the area of a square as a function of its side length is not linear because its graph contains the points (1,1), (2,4) and (3,9), which are not on a straight line.

CCSSHSF-IF.A.2

Use function notation, evaluate functions for inputs in their domains, and interpret statements that use function notation in terms of a context.

CCSSHSF-IF.C.7

Graph functions expressed symbolically and show key features of the graph, by hand in simple cases and using technology for more complicated cases.

CCSSHSF-IF.C.7a

Graph linear and quadratic functions and show intercepts, maxima, and minima.
