An upper-level treatment of what is often presented as a basic concept (the right angle of an inscribed circle on the diameter), this activity really elevates the mathematical thought of the learner! Expected to develop formulas...

Learners find the common point of a linear and quadratic system given a graph of the system. Then they find a specific point located only on the parabola.

Combine algebraic and geometric strategies to find solutions. The task asks learners to find the coordinates of a third vertex of a triangle to create a triangle with a specific area. The project is a set of seven problems that...

Are you tired of answers without understanding? Learners can give a correct response, but do they really understand the concept? Have young mathematicians think deeper about linear functions, angles, and formulas in algebra....

Take a look at linear functions in a new environment. A three-stage algebra project first asks learners to model the salt concentration of an aquarium using linear functions. Then, using iterations, pupils create a set of input-output...

Geometric volume calculations are brought into the real world in a quick set of application problems. Learners are asked to help a patient figure out how to drink a prescribed amount of water both at work and at home. This activity...

Students will connect the centers of snowflakes with a line preferably by applying the point-slope formula.

This Northeast Parallel Architectures Center of Syracuse University site contains a brief description of the point-slope form for equations along with the formula.

This lesson on slope explains the slope concepts, demonstrates how to use the slope formula, shows how to find slope in horizontal and vertical lines, and how to use slope to find whether the lines through the pairs of points are...

This interactive Java applet allows visualization of line segments and their slopes. The slope and how it is found is given for each line drawn by the user.

Slope-intercept form of a line is shown in formulas and examples with this Purplemath lesson. There are examples of slope-intercept with the slope and a point and with two points. Includes interactive widgets for exploring concepts.

Not only does this site show what the slope-intercept form is, but it helps you find the slope and the intercept of a line. There is also additional information on parallel lines, parametric form, and the distance between two points.
