Middle and high schoolers use a spreadsheet to graph data. In this graphing lesson, learners determine how two parameters are correlated. They create a scatter plot graph using a computer spreadsheet.

In this linear function worksheet, students write linear functions, in intercept form, that satisfy given conditions. They find the local linearity for a function. This five-page worksheet contains examples, explanations, and six...

Determine what the class knows about linear equations. The three-question mid-module assessment is segment 15 in a 33-part series. The assessment includes writing and solving one-variable linear equations and graphing proportional...

Bring balance to your lesson plans with an activity that asks individuals to solve one-step linear equations with inverse operations. Balance scales help learners understand the concept of isolating the variable.

Give your classes practice at modeling using quadratic models with a resource that uses area and integer problems to allow individuals to create second degree polynomials. Young mathematicians solve equations using factoring and then...

Solving for x is a classic algebra scenario. Now, solve for x when the other terms in the equation are variables. Isolate the correct variable and practice writing the equation first before solving. 

Variables can vary in meaning. A reference material for AP® Statistics explains the difference between random and algebraic variables. It provides a hypothetical situation involving dice—great for use in a classroom situation.

Learners solve multi-step equations and apply the process of elimination. In this algebra lesson plan, students solve linear inequalities and equations using linear combination and evaluation. They graph their results on a number...
