Explore how to graph lines from different pieces of information. Scholars learn to graph linear functions when given an equation, given two points that satisfy the function, and when given the initial value and rate of change. They solve...

Compare graphing an inequality in one variable on a number line to graphing an inequality in two variables on a coordinate plane. Young mathematicians work on a puzzle matching inequalities and their solutions. They then complete a...

Solving systems by substitution can be a challenging topic in algebra I. Here is a lesson that builds on students' understanding of intercepts to begin the process of substitution, and all work is reinforced graphically to build...

What did some Pilgrims wear on top of their heads? Individuals graph sets of ordered pairs, and connect the points to create a mystery Thanksgiving picture.

The key is ... After a day of instruction on key features of graphs, groups create a poster and presentation on the key features of their given function graph. The resource provides an extension activity of "telephone" using...

Number towers use addition or multiplication to ensure each level is equal. While this is common in factoring, it is often not used with algebraic equations. Solving these six questions relies on problem solving skills and being able to...

A deceptively simple question setup leads to a number of attack methods and a surprisingly sophisticated solution set in this open-ended problem. Young geometers of different strengths can go about defining the solutions graphically,...

In this graphing worksheet, students solve a set of 6 problems, using a given graph to answer questions related to plotting points, units moved in a given directions and coordinates.

Can you graph your story? Keep your classes interested by challenging them to graph a scenario and interpret the meaning of an intersection. Be sure they paty attention to the detail of a graph, including intercepts, slope,...

Each form of a linear equation has its purpose — pupils just have to find it. Building on the previous lesson in the series, learners examine point-slope and standard form. Using point-slope form, pupils write the equation of a...

Combine linear equations and a little creativity to produce a work of art. Math scholars create a design as they graph a list of linear equations. Their project results in a stained glass window pattern that they color.

Elementary schoolers find out which month has the most class birthdays (mode) and which birthday represents the middle point of all the birthdays (median). They gather and organize data to find one number that fairly represents the whole...

Relations, and functions, and line tests, oh my! An instructional slideshow demonstrates the definitions of a relation, a function, and the domain and range of a relation. Viewers then learn how to use mappings and vertical...

Eighth and ninth graders solve and graph 42 different problems that include writing various equations and graphing them on a grid. First, they create a table for each equation and graph it on a grid locating the x-and y-intercepts. Then,...

Demonstrate the meaning of an absolute inequality using three different methods. Here, scholars explore absolute value inequalities through graphing, number line distance, and compound inequalities. Pupils complete various activities to...

Students graph inequalities on a number line and discuss how to solve for one variable. The teacher models examples as students take notes. In groups, students participate in an activity to demonstrate inequalities on a number line. ...

Here is a resource that helps your algebra learners understand the connection between the graph of two lines, the equations of lines, and the solutions and intersecting points of lines. It would make a great assessment question, but can...

Students solve and graph inequalities on a number line. In this algebra lesson, students solve using addition, subtraction, multiplication and division and graph their solutions using open or closed circles. They graph with 80%-90%...

I like algebra, but graphing is where I draw the line! Worksheet includes three multiple-part questions on interpreting and drawing line graphs. It focuses on the abstract where neither axis has numbers written in, though both are...

Computers are useful for more than just surfing the Internet. Pupils first investigate scatter plots and estimate correlation coefficients. Next, they use Microsoft Excel to create scatter plots and determine correlation...

More than just data, scatter plots are full of information that can be used to answer a variety of questions. This activity uses a plot with information about bird egg sizes to answer questions about the relationship between length and...

There are many equations Algebra I students are not ready to solve. Graphing to solve gives them a strategy to use when they are unsure of an algebraic approach to solve the problem. The lesson exposes learners to a wide variety of...

Create a linear equation for a problem when the intercept information is not given. The two-day lesson introduces the class to the point-slope form, which can be used for problems when the initial conditions are not provided. Pupils...

First graders examine data on a graph and determine which variable on the graph has more. They draw pictures of their family members and determine which families have more members than other families. Using squares of paper to depict...
