Graphing and the Coordinate Plane
Students learn about the Cartesian coordinate plane, understand the four quadrants of the Cartesian coordinate plane, and plot points on the plane. Students read coordinates for a point from a graph and give the ratio of rise over run...

Whose Line is it Anyway?
Students solve systems of equations. In this algebra lesson, students identify the domain and range of each function. They use the slope and y-intercept to graph each line.

Relating Distance and Velocity Over Time
Learners calculate the distance and velocity over time. In this algebra lesson plan, students graph a linear function to represent the distance vers time travel. They interpret their graphs and draw conclusion.

Graphing Inequalities and Shading
Students graph and shade inequalities. In this algebra lesson, students graph inequalities using the slope-intercept form. They shade the side of the line that is the solution and identify the domain and range.

Reading Graphs
Students practice plotting functions on the Cartesian coordinate plane, see several categories of functions, including lines and parabolas, and read a graph, answering questions about the situation described by the graph
Curated OER
Reading Graphs
Students plot functions on the Cartesian coordinate plane. They explore lines and parabolas. Students analyze graphs and answer questions about the information presented on the graph using an online program.
