Reading Football Rates and Starting Values
Guided Lesson · ≈ 45 min · Grade 8 · Math · Texas
What the teacher typed
- What should students learn?
- Determine the rate of change and y-intercept from a table or graph of a real situation, and explain what each one means in that situation.
- Anything I should know?
- “Use football for the examples. Half of them play and the rest are at the game Friday. They can find the slope fine, they just can't tell me what it means.”

A context carried all the way through — and a lesson aimed at the gap the teacher named, not the topic.
A real run through the product — the lesson, its materials and its adaptation, exactly as the teacher received them.
Matched from the objective against Texas’s own standards — the teacher didn’t pick these.
