Students calculate the rate of change. In this algebra lesson plan, students identify the slope and discuss the different properties of lines as they relate to rate. A discuss doubling time, zero slope and being in two places at once.

Students observe and calculate slopes. In this algebra lesson, students graph equations and determine the pace at which the slope is changing. They use the navigator to see the change as they graph the lines around.

Middle schoolers use a computer to complete activitites about slope. They find the slope of mountains, roofs, and stairs using rise over run. Pupils are shown different types of slopes and have to identify if the slope is positive,...

Your young mathematicians will appreciate this wonderfully organized summary and explanation of linear slope. Approaching slope as it looks in a table of values, on a graph, in an equation, and between two points, this note sheet is...

Students explore maximum and minimum points, slopes and tangents. In this Pre-Calculus lesson, students solve optimization problems and find rates of change.

Students solve problems with slopes. For this algebra lesson, students identify the slope of a line and relate it to the rate of change.  They graph their lines on the TI and observe changes in the lines.

This short handout addresses the concept of slope in two different ways: geometrically and analytically. Start with a brief description of slope, then use graphical representations to compare positive vs. negative slope and zero vs....

Middle and high schoolers use the slope intercept form to graph a line. In this algebra activity, pupils rewrite equations from standard form to y-intercept form. They use the slope and y-intercept to graph a line without making a table...

How can you graph lines that don't seem to fit on the given graph? What makes a line straight? What does the rate of change mean when graphing a line? How do you know if a slope is positive or negative? How do you know if the graph of a...

Five questions make up an interactive that challenges mathematicians to compare unit rates. Word problems question scholars about two friends going on a road trip. Scholars manipulate two cars on a coordinate plane to help solve word...

Congratulations, you've just hit the word problem jackpot! Covering an incredible range of topics from integers and fractions, to percents, geometry, and much more, this collection of worksheets will keep young mathematicians...

Math can be a problem in eighth grade. Sample items show how problem solving exists within the eighth grade standards. Part of the Gr. 8 Claim 2 - 4 Item Slide Shows series, the presentation contains eight items to illustrate the...

This comprehensive unit on linear and exponential functions provides numerous clearly-written worksheets. Topics include graphing linear equations, solving systems of equations algebraically and by graphing, identifying the domain and...

Ninth graders investigate the order of operations.  In this Algebra I lesson, 9th graders explore the rules of arithmetic and algebra as they review and practice simplifying increasingly complex numeric expressions using the order...

Pre-algebra pupils examine the rate of change and how we can interpret it as a linear function. They are introduced to slope-intercept equations and graphs. Plenty of instruction is provided along with example problems. Note that even...

Graph inequalities and discuss the difference in their slopes. Learners observe rate of change as they compare linear, quadratic, and cubic functions.

Your learners will practice many ways of describing data using coordinate algebra in this unit written to address many Common Core State Standards. Simple examples of different ways to organize data are shared and then practice problems...

Seventh graders explore linear equations.  In this graphing instructional activity, 7th graders explore constant rates of change.  Students discover the real-life application of graphs and demonstrate their ability to read...

Students identify the slope of a line. In this algebra lesson, students label slopes as positive, negative, zero or undefined. They use the slope formula to find the slope algebraically and graphically.

This instructional activity begins with a review of linear functions and segues nicely over its fifteen examples and problems into a deep study of exponential functions. Linear and exponential growth are compared in an investment task....

Students explore linear equation suing real life scenarios. In this algebra instructional activity, students find the slope and intercept of a line. They create table of values to plot their graph and draw conclusions.

Students graph lines using the slope and y-intercept. In this algebra lesson, students create data using tables and equations. They use their data to make predictions and draw conclusion.

Every topic or subject has its own special jargon. Learners work on their math vocabulary as it relates to basic algebra terms. They define and identify function, functional notation, ordered pairs, rate of change, slope,...

Students use coordinates in a table to write equations. In this algebra lesson, students discuss rate of change as it relates to slope and x and y values. They plot the points from a table to graph their lines and write an equation for...
