Linear Functions
Matching Game
Part 2
Match different Representations
of Linear Functions
Overview & Instructions
There are 20 problems. Each problem provides a representation
of a linear function –either an equation, data table, graph, or
verbal description. Students will be presented with 3
versions of another representation and will need to find the
one that matches the original.
These can be done in small groups for cooperative learning or
as a whole class review. The problems can also be used as
an assessment.
