This FAST Success Kit helps Grade 8 students master slope-intercept form before the Florida FAST assessment.

Standards Covered:

MA.8.AR.3.1 - Determine the slope given a table, graph, situation, or two points.
MA.8.AR.3.2 - Write the equation of a line in slope-intercept form given a graph, table, or description.
MA.8.AR.3.3 - Graph a linear equation in slope-intercept form.
MA.8.AR.3.4 - Given a real-world context, determine and interpret slope and y-intercept.

Key Concepts: Slope as rate of change, y-intercept as starting value, y = mx + b form, rise over run, positive/negative/zero/undefined slope, graphing lines
