Seventh graders explore the concept of the slope of a line. They see how to determine the direction of the line. Also students are introduced to the slope intercept algebraic expression in conjunction with the rise/run.

Learners analyze the motion of a particle along a straight line. In this precalculus lesson, students use the TI to analyze the position of a function as they graph and visualise the function. They calculate the distance and...

Students create a timeline to represent state and national holidays. In this social studies lesson, students use colored popsicle sticks along a line drawn on a piece of paper to illustrate when holidays occur.

Learners sketch a slope field for a given differential equation, given a slope field. They also match a slope field to a differential equation and match a slope field to a solution of a differential equation. Finally, students use a...

In these two measuring lines in inches worksheets, students measure different lengths of horizontal, vertical, and diagonal lines. Students write 19 answers.
