Must - do Problems for Productive Struggle :

Activity 2.1 Equations in Different Forms
#1 General Form
Students should be able to explain how to identify slope, x-intercept, and, y-intercept without much struggle
Have an exemplar of how students should justify solutions
#2 Factored Form
Students will be able to identify slope without struggle, but identifying x-intercept and y-intercept will cause students a little struggle...from factored form. Teacher tip: guide students to manipulate equation to "general form" if there are misconceptions with identifying intercepts in factored form.
#3 Standard Form
There is room for student productive struggle if students are trying to identify slope, x-intercept, and y-intercept in standard form. Teacher can guide students to manipulate the equation to general form.
Activity 2.2 Rewriting Literal Equations
#1 Converting degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit. This problem can be used as an anchor to drive large class discussions about solving equations for a given measurement.
#6 Solving y=a(bx+c) for x
This problem can be used to check for understanding of solving literal equations, procedural fluency.
