 * Activity for Families: **

We would lov e for you to be involved in your student's learning! Below is one way you could help your student learn about linear relationships and support them in their academic tasks throughout this course of study.

We will begin the unit Moving Straight Ahead in early February 2012. After Investigation 2 in mid to late February, your student will be asked to write a letter home about what they have learned thus far in the math unit, specifically addressing a) what a linear relationship is, b) ways in which to solve linear relationships, and c) how linear relationships can be used to solve daily situations. Your student will then ask a you to discuss a time you have used a linear relationship to solve a real-world problem. Our challenge to you is then to try to think of one! For instance, have you ever had to compare the costs of two vendors or modes of transportation? Be creative!
