 * =Brief Summary of Unit= ||
 * In this unit, students will learn about linear relationships. The topics that will be covered include specific formulas such as y=mx+b, y=m(x-x1)+y1 and more. Students will be able to create a linear equation and from there transfer it to a graph. They will be able to draw the graphs of functions and also the other way around, taking graphs and creating equations. Students will also learn what the x-axis, y-axis, slope, distance formula and the midpoint formula are, just to name a few. Students will be able to connect the ideas of slope, distance and midpoint to real life situations such as skiing for slope, and calculating how long a car ride may take through the distance formula. Students will also create different projects that would require them to use iMovie, SMARTboards, Glogster, GeoGebra, Wikispaces, Comic Life and the National Library of Virtual Manipulatives (NLVM). Through these projects, students will be able to show their understandings of the topics covered in this unit.
