🐉 Slay the Equation Dragon: Converting Standard Form to Slope-Intercept Form
Every year, as I gear up to teach converting equations from standard form to slope-intercept form, I imagine myself as a brave knight heading into battle. My armor is dry-erase marker. My steed is a large whiteboard. My foe? A fire-breathing, wing-flapping beast known as Ax + By = C.
Yes, fellow math warriors, I’m talking about the Standard Form Equation Dragon—and if you’ve ever tried teaching this skill to middle schoolers, you know that this dragon doesn’t go down easy. You have to keep fighting—lesson after lesson, question after question—until finally, one day, your students lift their pencils in victory and declare, "I get it!" That’s the moment you know the dragon has been slain.
But don’t worry—you don’t have to fight this battle alone.
🛡️ Your Sword in the Fight: "Standard Form to Slope-Intercept Form Worksheet"
