Use a graphing lines learning exercise to have your mathematicians graph the line of a given equation and plot specified points. The first 10 problems have a given equation, and two values. The next 10 problems have a given equation, but...

Common difference is to arithmetic sequences as what is to linear equations? (Answer: slope) Pupils learn how arithmetic sequences can be considered as linear patterns. They then write linear equations to represent arithmetic...

In this graphing linear equations worksheet, students plot 22 lines on their coordinate grids. When directions are followed carefully, the result is a picture.

Different forms, same line. Young mathematicians investigate the standard form, slope-intercept form, and point-slope form of a linear equation. An interactive has them adjust lines on a coordinate plane to see changes in each form of...

Each form of a linear equation has its purpose — pupils just have to find it. Building on the previous lesson in the series, learners examine point-slope and standard form. Using point-slope form, pupils write the equation of a...

Solve simultaneous linear equations, otherwise known as systems of linear equations. Pupils practice solving systems of linear equations by graphing, substitution, and elimination. The workbook provides a class activity and homework...

Ready to increase pupils' understanding of slope with an upward slope? Scholars use an interactive that allows users to move two points on a coordinate plane. The interactive then automatically calculates the slope, the slope-intercept...

How can you graph lines that don't seem to fit on the given graph? What makes a line straight? What does the rate of change mean when graphing a line? How do you know if a slope is positive or negative? How do you know if the graph of a...

How do you solve linear equations? Learn how to solve simple linear equations by applying properties of equality in this instructional slideshow. The materials include step-by-step instructions and key concepts to support understanding.

Just how far will the Facebook post go? Lead a discussion on how to manipulate the sum of a geometric series to figure out a formula to find the sum at any step. The plan contains an alternative to the discussion with more...

Create tables of solutions of linear equations. A lesson has pupils determine solutions for two-variable equations using tables. The class members graph the points on a coordinate graph. 

Show your class that linear equations produce graphs of lines. The 20th segment in a unit of 33 provides proof that the graph of a two-variable linear equation is a line. Scholars graph linear equations using two points, either from...
