Unit Plan

Integrated Theme/Topic: Linear Equations

Duration of Unit: 15 Days
Curriculum Outcomes:
10I.R.1. Interpret and explain the relationships among data, graphs and contexts.
10I.R.3. Demonstrate an understanding of slope with respect to

Rise and run

Line segments and lines
Rate of change
Parallel lines
Perpendicular lines

10I.R.5. Determine the characteristics of the graphs of linear relations, including the

Intercepts
Slope
Domain
Range

10I.R.7. Determine the equation of a linear relation, given

a graph
a point and the slope
two points
a point and the equation of a parallel or perpendicular line
a scatterplot
10I.R.10. Solve problems that involve the distance between two points and the midpoint of a
line segment.
Essential Questions:
What information can be obtained about a graph when we are given the equation in
any form?
How can linear equations be used to solve problems?
What information can be gathered from a graph with respect to data and context?
Stage 1 Setting Goals
