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

Students take the derivative of a function. In this calculus lesson plan, students define slope fields and what they are used for. They relate slope fields to the real world.

Students examine and discuss typical linear equations, and the difference between a linear and nonlinear equation. They observe examples of linear equations and complete a worksheet.

Students graph lines using the calculator. In this algebra lesson, students graph lines of equations in the form y=mx+b. They input equations into the TI Calculator and graph using the slope and intercept. They analyze the graph for...

Students solve systems of equations. In this algebra activity, students identify the domain and range of each function. They use the slope and y-intercept to graph each line.

Students explore the concept of quadrilaterals. In this quadrilaterals lesson plan, students use the slope formula, midpoint formula, and distance formula to justify that a given quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

Students solve systems of equations graphically. In this algebra lesson, students find the point of intersection of two lines if they are not parallel. They rewrite the equation in the y=mx + b form and graph using slope and intercept.

In this equations worksheet, learners complete 13 multiple choice questions matching a graph in the coordinate plane to its equation and writing the equation of a line given two points or slope and a point.

Sixth graders investigate erosion. In this erosion lesson plan, 6th graders explore how farming changes the environment. Students construct an erosion model and research ways to protect the soil from excess mud generated by farming.

This basic handout would be good for skills practice or a review of parallel and perpendicular lines. Review the definitions, then practice writing equations of lines that pass through a specific point and are either parallel or...

Use this worksheet to write equations in both point-slope form and slope-intercept form. Start by writing equations given one point and the slope and finish by writing equations given two points and a few real-world applications. The...

Students define functions to be graphed using the Y=key. They demonstrate how to set up a standard viewing screen using Zoom 6. They discuss and explore mathematical questions on a worksheet.

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.

More people, more garbage! Young environmentalists graph population growth against the amount of garbage generated per year and find a linear model that best fits the data. This is an older resource that could benefit from more recent...

Students write the equation of a line when given the graph, two points on the line, or the slope and a point on the line. The lesson format is teacher lecture, guided instruction, and independent practice.

In this prescription drug worksheet, learners answer short answer questions and create graphs on the sales of prescription drugs over a five year span. Students complete six questions.

Can your class write linear equations three different ways? Here is a study guide that includes slope-intercept, standard, and point-slope forms. Learners are given the slope and a point on the line, or two points and are asked to write...

What does math have to do with a sore throat? When you mix water and salt you have a great review of how to represent proportional relationships by an equation or graph. Here the proportions of the mixtures may be different, but the...

Knowing how to scale a recipe is an important skill. Young mathematicians determine the amount of ingredients they need to make a certain number of truffles when given a recipe. They determine a relationship between ingredients given a...

Reinforce math vocabulary with a set of flash cards. Forty-eight cards offer boldly printed words, and their corresponding definition alongside an example with labels. Terms include absolute value, inverse operations, slope, and more! 

Back and forth, and back again. A presentation on harmonic motion would make a great backdrop for a directed instruction lesson in Honors Physics. It includes diagrams, formulas, graphs, and a few sample problems.
