Scholars connect slope-intercept form and standard form to the values of m and b by first matching a set of cards that have slope-intercept form, standard form, values of m, values of b, and graphs of linear equations. They then play a silent bingo game that matches the same types of quantities as in the card-sorting activity to reinforce the concept.
