Point-Slope Form

I'm a little late for "Made 4 Math" Monday!  We are marching through our unit on linear functions - writing equations and graphing.  Last week I submitted my lesson plan on slope-intercept form.  Today I have the activities we used for point slope form.

We started class with an I do, we do, you do note taking activity:

Then we summarized our notes on a web diagram:

Last we practiced in partners - using an activity created by my colleagues.

My students struggle with the algebraic manipulation.  We will need more practice!
