Linear Relationships Real World Applications Practice Worksheets

Five practice activities give 8th grade students applied work with linear relationships. Students identify linear functions, analyze tables for rate of change, calculate unit rates, write equations and interpret graphs.

What’s included

Each activity has its own focus:

• Trip Preparation. Students identify whether relationships are functions and, if they are functions, whether they are linear, using graphs, tables and equations.
• See the Sights. Students analyze rate of change displayed in tables.
• Time for a Luau. Students use menus and tables to determine unit rate and totals.
• What’s the Rate. Students write equations and identify unit rate from graphs.
• Palm Tree Paradise. Students identify whether relationships are positive or negative and explain the meaning in the context of given situations. They also sketch graphs given certain conditions.

Skills covered

• Understanding functions
• Analyzing functional relationships
• Modeling relationships with functions

How to use it

The pages work for classroom use, homework assignments or extra practice. They give students a solid foundation in linear relationships before Algebra 1.
