Ben informed me that he was sick and probably contagious. Though while we worked today, he showed no signs of illness. Actually, he did very well today.
We continued to work on slope. We reviewed how slope can be determined by calculating the rise over the run. Then we reviewed how to use the slope formula to calculate the slope if given two points. Next, I showed him how linear equations look when they are in slope intercept form. Ben practiced drawing an equation of a line, given the slope and y-intercept. Then we worked in the opposite direction, by having Ben write the equation of a line given the slope and y-intercept. Ben's skills are developing and with more practice, he will get better.
