About this worksheet

Steady change that starts above zero. Every version has 10 questions, and the answer key prints on the second page.

What your child will learn

I can find the start (y when x is 0) and the change for each 1 more x from a table, a graph, a rule like y = 3x + 6, or a story.
I can use or write the rule y = (change) x + (start), and tell which number is which.
I can work backward: after how many weeks does it reach 33 cm?

Standard: state-only (CCSS 8.EE.B.6, 8.F.B.4)

Words to know

start: The amount when x is 0, before anything is added.

change for 1: How much y grows for each 1 more x. Schools call it the rate or slope.

rule (equation): A way to get y from x, like y = 3x + 6.

steady change: The same amount is added every time.

row: One pair in a table, like 2 weeks and 12 cm.

Common mistakes

Your child found what the growing adds up to but left out the amount there at the start.

Your child added the start and the change first and then multiplied the sum by x.

Your child divided y by x as if the count started at 0.

What to say

Ask: what is there before anything is added?

Ask: which of the two numbers is added again at every step, and which is only there once?

Ask: was there already some at the start? How much of the total came from the growing?
