Young mathematicians review what they have previously learned about coordinates and straight line graphs. Then, they access an interactive component within the instructional activity to gain more practice with this skill. Additionally,...

This math packet includes four different activities which puts linear equations and line of best fit in the context of real world applications. Each activity uses a different linear math modeling equation and asks the learners to...

When told to describe a line, do your pupils list its color, length, and which side is high or low? Use a worksheet that engages scholars to properly label line graphs. It then requests two applied reasoning answers.

Students discover certain equations produce straight lines. In this graphing lesson, students draw axis and problem solve to find coordinates to graph.

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...

Acquaint your class with the concept of parallel lines. Learners watch a PowerPoint presentation about how to write equations of parallel lines. Their understanding of linear equations and slope is taken a step further by the...

Identify the slope of a linear equation in this algebra lesson. Middle schoolers graph linear equations using slopes and intercepts. They identify the slope as being positive, negative, no slope, or undefined.

Teach your math lovers how to solve linear equations by graphing. Students identify pairs of coordinates and use it to graph a line and use the TI to graph and observe the line.

Pupils create a bar graph. They will collect and organize data to turn into bar graphs. They create graphs for the favorite sports of the class, color of M&M's, and types of cars passing by.

In this geometry lesson, math scholars brainstorm examples of rotations.  Using the SMARTboard, students observe a rotation. They create their own rotation using graph paper. Finally, pupils complete a worksheet and graph rotations.

Table the decision to land. Pupils form flight crews by matching up different representations of linear equations. Given a set of coordinates for an airstrip, the crews determine the equation of the line that will position their planes...

Can two lines intersect at more than one point? Using yarn, create two lines on the floor of the classroom to find out. Cooperative groups work through the process of solving systems of equations using task cards and three different...

The bounce of a golf ball changes the result in golf, mini golf—and a great math activity. Scholars graph the height of golf ball bounces before finding a line of best fit. They analyze their own data and the results of others to better...

How do doctors predict a child's future height? Scholars use one case study to determine the height of a child two years into the future. They graph the given data, determine the line of best fit, and use that to estimate the height in...

Twelfth graders practice their graphing skills in an exercise about acceleration due to gravity. Lesson opens with a demonstration of acceleration due to gravity and a brief discussion. Students complete a worksheet and go over answers...

Students explore the concept of graphing stations.  In this graphing stations lesson, students head to various teacher set-up stations involving slope, point-slope, standard form, parallel lines, etc.  Students work problems at...

Students construct parallel lines using a protractor and a straightedge. In this geometry lesson, students identify the properties of parallel lines. They use Cabri to graph and observe the lines.

Can learners determine solutions associated with lines? A slide presentation contains sample items for the Smarter Balanced 8th grade math Target D covering solving linear equations and systems of linear equations. Items illustrate the...

Students review the Cartesian plane and the process of plotting points. In groups, students create tables, identify the slope and y-intercept, and graph the equation. Afterward, students perform the same process, only, individually. As a...

Students access prior knowledge of coordinates. In this coordinates lesson, students graph coordinate points to create a symmetrical figure and of a straight line. Students complete several practice examples.

Students calculate the shortest distance of various scenarios. In this algebra lesson, students interpret graphs of optimization problems. They use a graphing calculator to assist them in graphing and making predictions.

Fifth graders complete an integer graphing activity. In this integer graphing instructional activity, 5th graders use coordinate grids to help them complete linear functions and integer graphing.

Students graph non-linear equations. In this algebra lesson, students investigate different polynomial functions and their shapes. They identify the different powers and zeros.

Learners identify the slopes of a line. In this algebra lesson, students calculate the slope and intercept of a line. They graph their lines using a TI calculator.
