Learners practice graphing linear inequalities and explain their solution sets to the solving of a system of linear equalities graphically and symbolically. They utilize programming techniques in setting up and solving systems of linear...

Students participate in a lecture about linear inequalities. Individually, they graph different inequalities and describe its solution. They participate in a demonstration in which they solve a system of inequalities and complete a...

A cross-curricular resource teaches and reinforces mathematical concepts with several activities that use parts of a newspaper. Scholars use scavenger hunts to find the different ways math is used in the paper along with using data...

Young scholars explore linear equations, parallel lines, perpendicular lines and slopes. Using computers with graphic calculators and word processing, students examine the relationship between the slopes of perpendicular lines and...

In this 8th grade math test, 8th graders complete 27 multiple choice problems. Problems cover a wide variety of concepts from geometry to linear equations and computation with exponents. The test is from 2005.

Help your math class "get the picture" in a quadratic equation lesson that integrates digital photography. Individuals take pictures to help them model the shape of an item or situation using algebraic equations. They discover how to...

There are four activities in this extensive lesson covering the identity matrix and scaling, the linear representation of translations, the linear representation of rotations, and reflections. In small groups, they use the Cabri II...

Find the best way to maximize the profit. Pupils graph four constraints of a pet-sitting company, using a revenue equation to find a maximum amount the sitters can earn. By using the equation, scholars determine the number of cats and...

Students graph linear equations and choreograph dance moves to demonstrate them.

Students investigate linear equations using the Ti-Calculator. In this algebra lesson plan, students graph lines and identify the different quadrants on a coordinate plane. They identify ordered pairs used to plot lines.

In this local linearity worksheet, students identify the slope of a line tangent to the graph at a given point. They use linear approximation to estimate values. Students determine the slope of a secant line at a given point. This...

Weight, time, length, cost, and mass are all things we can measure. Learners are introduced to the concepts they'll need to know before embarking on any measurement adventure. They are introduced to each type of measurement and types of...

What a great classroom resource! The intention of this lesson is to show that real-world math can and should be applied to the community in which your students reside. The class relates properties of equations to solving for species...

Trace the links between a variety of math concepts in this far-reaching unit. Ideas that seem very different on the outset (like the distance formula and rigid transformations) come together in very natural and logical ways. This...

Explore the difference between stochastic and deterministic modeling through programming. First have the class write algorithms for relatively simple tasks using pseudocode. Use the Python 2.7 program app to simulate Mendel's Pea Pod...

Change the way you teach about rewriting expressions. A diagnostic task asks learners to transform expressions in different ways. Given two linear expressions and two quadratic expressions, they rewrite them into the indicated forms.

Express your wonder at this resource. Middle schoolers solve 10 short problems in the expressions and equations domain. They apply operations with scientific notation, set up and solve equations, and analyze linear equations.

Need a helping hand in Algebra I? How about a giant, super-sized worksheet packet? Here is a resource that has worksheets for virtually every concept with some accompanying examples. 

Students discover for which kind of linear function is appropriate to use the "scatter" or the "connected" term. In this lesson, students investigate functions using variables, patterns book, graph paper, rulers and the graphit program.

Students explore the concept of linear and exponential growth. In this linear and exponential growth instructional activity, students collect data about China's population. Students model the data to determine if it is linear or...
