Piecing the Pieces Together...

What a day!

Today I shared with the kids some of the things I learned yesterday at my professional development day in Raleigh. Be on the lookout for more information about that soon in another post. :)

We worked with the packet that I left the kids for yesterday on x & y intercepts and they found it a little challenging.  I expected that.  We spent today going through and filling in the gaps.  Tonight's homework is posted below:

They should take these two equations and find the x/y intercepts and graph it.  Remember that the y intercept is when x = 0 and the x intercept is when y = 0!  We'll finish up by talking a lot more about slope tomorrow.  We're in the throws of graphing lines!
