By the end of this section, you will be able to describe a straight-line graph in terms of its slope and y-intercept, determine average velocity or instantaneous velocity from a graph of position vs. time, determine average or...

In this task, 8th graders are presented with two intersecting line graphs and their linear equations. No values are shown on the axes. They are asked to interpret the constants in the equations in terms of their graphs, and make some...

This lesson will challenge young scholars to think creatively by having them design and build water balloon catchers from random scrap materials, while requiring them to take into consideration a multitude of variables including cost,...

This lesson focuses on Interpreting and analyzing linear, quadratic, and exponential models and graphs. Students will use best fit lines to interpret contexts, distinguish whether contexts are linear or exponential functions, use the...

Explanation of linear equations and four types of slopes: positive, negative, zero, and undefined. Practice problems for the students are provided and a reinforcement activity using a graphing calculator is offered for the teacher's use.

Learn to solve inequalities and how to graph their solutions on a number line. The examples contain quadratics and rational expressions.
