Linear Relationship Card Game
Teacher notes on activity:
Make sets of cards (suggest on 5x7 index), three to a set—one with a
graph, one with an equation, and one with information about the graph
and/or equation (a table, the equation in a different form, the intercepts,
etc.).
Provide one card to each student (some students might need two cards to make
it work out). Have the students walk around the room in search of their
appropriate partners.
When every student is in a group of three, check to be sure the group is
correctly formed. This check will consist of each group reading the information
about their set, giving the equation and showing the graph. If they match,
move on; if someone doubts the relationship then discuss why and if needed,
find the correct matches. After each group has the right three cards, they will
select just one of their cards (any of the three) to trade with another group—
after they have decided, collect the other two cards. The groups then trade that
card with another group. Each group will work together to make the missing
information—the graph, the equation, or the information on a sheet of notebook
paper to turn in for grading. Each student in the group should take notes
during this part of the activity to use in their written summary of the activity.
