Students Graphing Linear Equations

Students in Kristi Peterson’s algebra class and worked on graphing linear equations using the slope-intercept method. We placed a giant coordinate plane on the gym floor. This helps students see where they need to be on the graph. The activity involves cooperation and discussion. Plus, it is fun to do something different. What a great group of students! Thanks much to Coach Garfield and Coach Steinhoff for sharing the gym today! #Jeffpride
