Tables, graphs, and equations
Target: Find an output from a linear equation.
Language target: Read an ordered pair as (input, output).
Likely miss: Students add the coefficient instead of multiplying.
Ask: Where is that point in the table?
If you see it: Use one row of the table to test the rule before extending it.
Evidence to listen for: A new row matches both the equation and the point.
Next: If the graph and table disagree, recompute one row.
Observable student moves: names both quantities, uses the represented relationship, and revises after feedback. This companion is not a score.
