High School Graphing Task Cards

Level Ups provide increasing levels of challenge and rigor on critical Common Core Grade 8 math standards. Students begin at level 0, working on the pre-requisite skills needed for a standard, then level up each time they complete a task. If a student can complete level 4, both you and them know they have mastered that standard.

Level Ups are a fun way for your students to practice or review graphing linear functions in both slope-intercept form and standard form. Aligned to the common core standards, this Level Ups activity includes 5 differentiated tasks that increase in rigor. The task cards begin with pre-requisite skills involving proportional relationships and the basics of slope and y-intercept, then "level up" all the way to creating an appropriately scaled graph for a given linear function scenario.

Students start at level zero and work their way up to level 4, giving them accurate feedback on what they have mastered, and what they still need to work on. This lesson works as a great way to review what is and is not a function, or as preparation for an upcoming assessment.

This activity includes:

• Suggested activity instructions (based on how I run this in my classroom).
• Five levels with 6 - 8 questions each.
• The final level includes 2 word problems where students must scale their own graph based on the domain and range of the scenario.
• Complete answer keys for each level.

My students love "Level Up Day" in my own classroom, and the activity works great as independent practice, a pairs activity, or even group work. I also use this when I need a majority of students working independently while I pull a small group for intervention.

If you enjoy this activity, please check out my other Level Up products, or my Team Target Review series, which encourages group work and rich math discussion.

Need a fun review activity for writing linear functions from tables and graphs that gets your students up and moving around the room? These printable Quiz Quiz Trade task cards give students the opportunity to move while quizzing each other on simple tables of values and graphs of linear functions. This 20-minutes activity is perfect for the middle of a block period, a short minimum day class period, or quick review session before an assessment.

Each student gets a card with either a table of values or a graph, meets up with a partner, and then quizzes them on their card, and answers their partner's card. Students are then able to coach each other if needed, then trade cards when done and find a new partner. See the lesson preview for the full lesson instructions!

This lesson includes the following:

• Complete lesson directions
• 36 Printable “Quiz Quiz Trade” Task Cards
  • 18 table of values
  • 18 linear equation graphs
• Task Card Answer Key

My students love every time we do a Quiz Quiz Trade day, and I bet yours will too!
