Slope Intercept Form As A Function Math Games

6 games

In this series of games, your students will learn to interpret the equation y = mx + b as defining a linear function, whose graph is a straight line. The Slope Intercept Form As A Function learning objective — based on CCSS and state standards — delivers improved student engagement and academic performance in your classroom, as demonstrated by research. This learning objective directly references 8.F.A.3 as written in the common core national math standards.

Concepts Covered

Interpret slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) as the definition of a linear function. Functions that have solutions that do not fall on a straight line are nonlinear. Functions with exponents are not linear. Nonlinear functions have a slope that varies. Linear functions have the highest exponent equal to 1. Determine if a function is linear or nonlinear.

Graphing Quadratics - Explore Estimated Duration: 10 minutes Adjust the coefficients of a quadratic equation in standard form and discover how the graphed parabola changes. View the graphs of the individual terms to see how they sum to generate the polynomial curve. Note: Students will automatically move through this simulation after 10 minutes of playtime.

Function Coaster Estimated Duration: 10 minutes Become a roller coaster engineer and build a new park using functions!

Properties of Linear Functions Estimated Duration: 5 minutes Students will explore the properties of linear functions, focusing on their characteristic straight-line graphs and slope-intercept form equations (y=mx + b). Through examples and explanations, students will learn to identify linear functions based on their graphical representation and equation structure. They will understand that linear equations always have a slope (m) and a y-intercept (b), and that the exponent of the x term is always one. By analyzing graphs and equations, students will differentiate between linear and nonlinear functions, strengthening their understanding of linear function properties.

Intercept the Spies Estimated Duration: 9 minutes Help our characters recover the stolen cheese by infiltrating a maximum security dungeon, but we need a master in slope intercept form as a function to do so!

Graphing Slope-Intercept - Game Estimated Duration: 10 minutes Challenge yourself to construct equations or graph lines in slope-intercept form. Discover new ways to graph lines whether you are given the equation, a slope, or a y-intercept. Note: Students will automatically move through this simulation after 10 minutes of playtime.

Graphing Lines - Slope-Intercept Estimated Duration: 10 minutes Interact with points on a line or with the slope-intercept equation. Compare equations of multiple lines and discover the relationship between the y-intercept, slope, and equation of a line. Note: Students will automatically move through this simulation after 10 minutes of playtime.

Newton Pool Estimated Duration: 15 minutes The game consists of hand-crafted levels where the player controls a white ball. The goal of each level is to get the white ball to the end of the level in as few moves as possible, while racking up points by bumping golden balls into obstacles on the way! The game does not have any instructional math content, it simply has math review questions spread throughout.

Galaxy Escape Estimated Duration: 20 minutes 10 Bright Monsters have been captured in space and they need your help to cross the galaxy jumping between platforms, finding them, and releasing them by correctly answering each question. Each monster that you release and unlock will be available to play with in the next level, in the search for the next monster. In your journey, you’ll be able to find power-ups, like ‘Double points’ and ‘Slow down’, which can be activated by finding gems, and their duration can be extended by correctly answering a question. Unlock and release the 10 different monsters and a spaceship along 10 different levels, while you make the most possible points.
