Student Page 2.7.6 Linear Function Card Sort

Directions:

  1. Cut apart the cards on the next page.

  2. Sort the cards into 4 sets so that each card in a set represents the same linear function. Each set contains 3 cards, one for each of 3 different representations.

  3. For each card set:

    • List the card numbers for cards that represent the same linear function in the appropriate cells.

    • One representation is missing for each card set. Put an X in the cell to show the representation is missing for that card set.

7.

For each missing representation, create a card that fits the linear function card set. For example, if the card set is missing a table, create a table that fits the linear function. Explain how you know your representation fits the linear function.

8.

There are 3 cards that do not fit any of the 3-card sets. For each of these cards:

(b)

If the card does not show an equation, find an equation that fits the card.

(c)

Create a story in a real context that fits the card. The other word problems in the card sort can serve as examples.
