  • Have classmates share their responses to the fill-in-the-blank activity

Classroom Considerations

  • The class should be familiar with direct variation

Pros

  • Includes suggestions for differentiation
  • Contains journal writing prompts, providing cross-curricular connections to English/literature class

Cons
