It was midyear at an International Baccalaureate middle school in
St. Louis Park, Minnesota, and students in the eighth-grade math
class were working on matching three forms that represented the
same linear relationship. Each of the 33 students received a card,
and their goal was to find the two other students whose cards
contained the same linear relationship. The learning target was “I
can express linear equations in slope-intercept, point-slope, and
standard forms, and convert between these forms” (MN Standard
8.2.4). Students were pointing, drawing, questioning, considering,
and making decisions about linear relationships
