Dear Parents,
Chapter 5 introduces linear relationships...where a change in one variable results in a fixed change in another variable. In class, we will describe situations, make tables of data about the situations, grap the data, and write linear equations that describe the relationships.
We will also learn to predict which equations have graphs that are straight lines by looking at tables or algebraic rules. Then, from a graph or table, we will be able to determine the slope and y-intercept.
Some of the vocabulary we will be using includes:
coefficient
constant term
linear relationship
proportional
rate
slope
speed
variable
velocity
y-intercept
Check out the online glossary that goes with our textbook to help define these new terms!
This online self check quiz might be a good study guide to make sure concepts are being learned and understood.
Every moment is an experience...an experience of observing, participating, learning, understanding, applying. This is true in math class as well. Join our math experience and be a part of the moments that shape our math learning.
