Overall, this activity contains a good selection of problems that reviews different aspects of linear equations. Learners examine and graph linear equations, absolute value equations, and inequalities in two variables. The three page...

Pupils build on previous experience with slope to investigate positive, negative, zero, and undefined slope. They complete a puzzle matching slope-intercept and standard forms of linear equations.

Graph the night away with all the different types of functions provided in the learning exercise. Linear, quadratic, and rational all ask for graphs, domain and range and other key factors about the functions.

Slopes are not just for skiing. Instructors introduce class members to the concept of slope and teach them how to calculate the slope from a graph or from points. The instructional activity also includes the discussion of slopes of...

Determine the slope when the unit rate is difficult to see. The 17th part of a 33-part series presents a situation that calls for a method to calculate the slope for any two points. It provides examples when the slope is hard to...

Not a Halloween jack-o-lantern, but a Thanksgiving pumpkin! Young mathematicians graph and connect points on a coordinate system to unveil the mystery picture.

What is the mystery picture? After plotting points on the first quadrant of a Cartesian coordinate system, young mathematicians connect the points to create a Halloween-themed picture.

In this linear relations worksheet, students complete a table for given functions. They classify graphs as linear or non-linear. Students graph given equations. They compare and contrast graphs. This nine page worksheet contains five...

For this slope and intercept worksheet, 10th graders solve 10 different problems that include the graphs of various forms of linear equations. First, they determine the slope of a line given the equation. Then, students determine if the...

In this linear equations worksheet, 6th graders complete 4 problems, sketching the graphs of lines of equations. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

This math packet provides an opportunity for learners to graph two linear equations on a coordinate grid and determine the slope and y-intercept of each. They use the equation of five lines to find the slope and y-intercepts, and then...

In this solving quadratic equations worksheet, students select the best method to solve a quadratic equation and then solve five quadratics.  Fully worked examples  are provided.

A car traveling down a steep hill is the model for this resource. The confusion comes when the elevation, E, is given in terms of distance, d. The distance, d, is the horizontal distance from E. Therefore, the equation, E = 7500 – 250d,...

A mail truck travels the same amount of miles per day. It will be up to your algebra learners to find an equation for this mailman’s truck. One needs a good understanding of rate of change and the initial value for this model. The...

It's all about lines when going around. Pupils graph the relationship between the length of a side of a square and its perimeter. Class members explain the origin in context of the side length and perimeter. They compare the graph to the...

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....

Cheaper cell phone bills? Learners compare two different cell phone plans for a specified number of minutes of phone usage each day. They also determine the conditions for which one plan is cheaper than the other.

Systems of parallel lines have no solution. Pupils work examples to discover that lines with the same slope and different y-intercepts are parallel. The 27th segment of 33 uses this discovery to develop a proof, and the class determines...

Investigate the relationship between the slope-intercept form and the slope of the graph. The lesson plan leads an investigation of the slope-intercept equation of a line and its slope. Pupils realize the slope is the same as the...

Start with the basics. Pupils work through a review of the unit on equations and inequalities. Learners begin with solving equations and inequalities with no context, move on to problems that involve a context, and finish with a...

Develop a formula based upon numerical computations. The 31st part of a 33-part unit has the class determine the formula to convert a temperature in Celsius to a temperature in Fahrenheit. They do this by making comparisons between the...
