Linear Equations Lesson Plans
Find teacher approved Linear Equations lesson plan ideas and activities
Students use manipulatives to solve linear equations. In this linear equation lesson, students solve linear equations. They use manipulatives to demonstrate each algebraic solution.
Seventh graders explore battle plans using grids. In this linear equation lesson, 7th graders see how math is used in battle. Students create a grid on the floor using tape and plastic army men to serve as the points. Students discuss different scenarios of a battle. Homework will be given for practice.
Ninth graders review the information that they have already learned with regard to linear equations and graphical representations. They then assist in combining equations with a graphical element and complete various graphs with this information. Students relate Y in terms of the X coordinates.
Ninth graders develop an understanding of and the applications for linear equations and their graphical displays. They participate in a cooperative learning activity of matching a graphic display with an equation.
Eighth graders examine how to evaluate linear equations and their associated graphs to analyze patterns. They define and discuss key vocabulary terms, observe the teacher model examples of each concept, and independently complete a worksheet.
Students explore the concept of linear equations. In this linear equations lesson, students enter life expectancy data into their graphing calculator and plot the data. Students make a scatter plot of the data and determine a linear equation to represent the data. Students predict the life expectancies of a person born in a particular year.
Students solve systems of linear equations. In this algebra instructional activity, students solve systems of equation using the inverse matrix method. They use the graphing calculators to check their answers.
Learners solve systems of linear equations. In this algebra instructional activity, students solve linear equations through graphing, substitution and linear combination. They analyze the results through one solution, no solution or infinitely many solutions.
Students solve and graph linear equations. For this algebra lesson, students identify the slope and y intercept of a line. They differentiate between exponential functions and their steepness.
Learners explore linear equations. In this sixth through eight grade mathematics lesson, students investigate solving linear equations using pictures. The kinesthetic and visual use of the pictures and symbols is designed to help learners develop a concrete understanding of an abstract concept.
