Linear Function Garage: Linear Functions Game for Grade 8
Tune slope and intercept until your line matches the ramp.
Work the garage: turn the slope and y-intercept dials until your line lands on the target ramp, then test drive it. Read lines from graphs, two points, tables and real-world stories, and see why rise over run is the same between any two points. Three levels move from whole-number slopes and y = mx to negative and fractional slopes.

What kids practise
Linear Function Garage gives students repeated, low-pressure practice with linear functions, slope, y-intercept, rate of change, initial value, y = mx + b, and similar triangles. It is written for grade 8. Every question is generated fresh, so a replay is never the same, and a wrong answer shows the correct one so the round teaches as well as tests.
How it plays
Controls: Tap the + and - buttons to tune slope (m) and intercept (b), then Test drive. Keyboard: Left/Right arrows change m, Up/Down arrows change b, Enter or T tests. P pauses, M mutes.
It works with a keyboard, a trackpad or a touch screen, so it runs on school Chromebooks, tablets and phones.
