Students will write linear equations in point-slope form given two points via a verbal description.

This lesson helps students understand two foundational exponential properties: The Product and Quotient Properties of Exponents. Students will collaborate to formulate a rule for these properties. Ultimately, students should conclude that when the same bases are being multiplied, exponents will be added; and when the same bases are being divided, exponents will be subtracted. As the lesson progresses, students will apply these rules to simplify expressions of various difficulties.
 

Students will collaborate to solve a word problem involving rates of change using their prior knowledge and create a graph and/or table showing their work.
