Understanding Slope
Learners find and define the slope of a line. For this algebra lesson,students differentiate between positive and negative slopes. They define the properties and slopes of vertical and horizontal lines.
Curated OER
Multiplying Inequalities by Negative
Students multiply inequalities by negative. In this algebra lesson, students solve inequalities and graph their solutions on a number line. They pay close attention to the negative consequence, which causes the sign to flip.
Curated OER
Tangents to a Circle
Learners construct tangent lines. In this geometry activity, students identify the point of tangency, secant and tangent lines. They graph the lines on the Ti and make observations.
Curated OER
Graphing Linear Equations Using the Table Method
Young scholars graph linear equations using a table. In this algebra instructional activity, students create a table of values using the linear equation to find the y-values. They plot their point on a coordinate plane and graph the line.
