In these identifying coordinates on a grid, linear graphs, and equations worksheets, 6th graders draw the shapes and letter, complete a table and use it to draw a graph, calculate gradients of lines, determine equations of lines, solve...

Learners create constant speed versus motion graphs. They will perform linear regressions on their data to describe the graphs mathematically.

Pupils graph the factors of a quadratic as linear equations and graph the parabolic equation in factored form. Also, they investigate the relationship between the x-intercepts of the lines and the zeros of the parabola.

In this graphing learning exercise, 9th graders read one page of graphing examples and complete 8 exercise problems. Each problem involves graphing and coordinates.

The class solves systems of linear inequalities. They graph lines and identify the point of intersection.They graph lines and identify the boundary that represent the solution and solution set.

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...

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...
