Graphing points on a quadrant using the y-intercept formula

Lesson Title
Find ordered pairs which cross the x and y axis

Length of Lesson (e.g., 30 45 minutes

minutes)
 Students will demonstrate ability to find pertinent information needed to successfully graph a line
Objectives (list at least two) from the y-intercept formula.
Students will find and record ordered pairs that cross the x and y axis.

Lesson Activities
(Content/Methods/Procedures)
Station 1 Teacher will revisit graphing and activate prior knowledge through previous examples using
individual graphing white boards. Teacher will utilize Nearpod to present the step by step process for
the students at this station. The students will have the opportunity to walk through the process and then
attempting the process a step at a time. Teacher will highlight the procedures necessary for completing
this process and highlight on a card the students can keep with them.
Station 2 Teacher will assess students knowledge again by providing an opportunity to designate
parts of a graph, x-axis, y-axis, and slope and identify the slope and y intercept. If students display
adequate knowledge of parts, provide an opportunity for students to find the y-intercept for themselves.
Teacher will then provide guided practice in utilizing the y intercept formula. Teacher will model finding
the ordered pairs and then provide guided practice.
Station 3 Independent practice. This station is set up for independent practice. The teachers will
provide visual cue cards for Helena to act as prompts for the processes she will be utilizing. Once
completed, students can compare work.

The teacher will use a similar Nearpod assessment that will allow her to follow each students process
