Students solve linear equations. In this algebra lesson, students isolate the variable on one side of the equal sign and solve for x. They rewrite word problems and solve for x.         

Learners write equations based on a pattern. In this algebra lesson plan, students calculate the arithmetic and geometric mean of a sequence. They rewrite word problems as a linear equation and solve real life scenario based on the given...

Students solve linear equations using word problems. In this algebra lesson, students rewrite the word problems by identifying the important information. They make a table and graph their results to analyze it.

Learners solve linear equations with two steps. In this algebra lesson, students isolate the variable and solve for the unknown using division, multiplication, addition and subtraction.

Students solve inequalities and systems of equations. In this algebra lesson, students use substitution and elimination as they solve algebraic systems. They use graphing and a table to support their solutions.

Students investigate the horizontal intercepts of functions. In this algebra lesson, students identify whether the factor of two functions results in a quadratic equation or not. They compare and contrast linear equations and higher...

In this slope learning exercise, learners identify the slope and y-intercept when given a linear equation. All equations given are listed in the y = mx + b format. This two page learning exercise contains seven problems. Answers are...

In this linear equation worksheet, students determine the equation of a line when given two points.  This two-page worksheet contains 6 problems.  Answers are provided on the last page.

Students use a spreadsheet to investigate data. In this algebra lesson, students collect and graph data on a coordinate plane. They explain properties of a linear equation both algebraically and orally.

In this differential equations instructional activity, students determine the stability of matrices and evaluate a matrix with an exponent. This two-page instructional activity contains examples, explanations, and two problems to solve.

Eighth graders practice technology skills through the use of a spreadsheet and a discovery instructional activity focusing upon linear equations. The technology allows for the visual changes to be displayed for different lines of equations.

In this linear algebra instructional activity, students complete matrix multiplication. They find the row space and nullspace of given matrices. This two-page instructional activity contains examples, explanations, and approximately...

Graph it! Investigate transformations with a graphing calculator. Pupils graph sets of linear functions on the same set of axes. They determine how changes in the equation of a linear function result in changes in the graph.

Explore slope using geometric patterns. Young mathematicians investigate towers built from cubes to develop a linear pattern. They move the data to a coordinate plane to connect the pattern to slopes.

Here is a resource that demonstrates growth and the initial state of an equation. In this case, your class will be looking at baseball collections. How many baseball cards did the collector start out with, and how many were added or...

Here you will find a model of a linear relationship between two quantities, the water depth of a channel and the distance across the channel at water level. The cross section of the channel is the shape of an isosceles trapezoid. The...

What function will describe the insect population growth? Pairs or small groups work together to determine which type of function and specific function will model given scenarios. The scenarios differentiate between linear,...

What better way to learn graphing inequalities than through discovering your own method! Class members use a discovery approach to finding solutions to inequalities by following steps that lead them through the process and...

Learners construct and use inverse functions to model a real-world context. They use the inverse function to interpolate a data point.
