Module 8: Graphing Linear Equations

Designing a Tutoring Session

During this module, you learned how to graph linear equations using several different methods. Did you find any of the methods challenging? How would you teach someone else challenging content? For this assignment, you will design a tutoring session that focuses on one of the methods that you learned about in this module.

First, select one of the following methods:

• graphing a linear equation using slope
• graphing a line parallel to a given line through a given point
• graphing a line perpendicular to a given line through a given point
• graphing a linear equation in slope-intercept form to solve practical problems
• graphing a line using x- and y-intercepts
• graphing a linear equation in standard form to solve practical problems
• graphing a linear equation as a transformation of the parent function

Next, design your tutoring session using the Tutoring Session Design Template. The problems you include in your tutoring session must be different than the problems that were presented throughout the module.

Reflection

After you have completed the assignment above, take a moment to reflect on the following questions. Respond to each of these questions in a brief four to five sentence paragraph.

• Which method of graphing linear equations do you prefer to use? Why?
• How has your understanding of graphing linear equations changed after completing the assignment above?

 

Once you have completed the assignment and reflection, please submit your work to the dropbox.
