Ready to increase pupils' understanding of slope with an upward slope? Scholars use an interactive that allows users to move two points on a coordinate plane. The interactive then automatically calculates the slope, the slope-intercept...

Travel the world instantly—and learn about math along the way. Using pictures of famous places taken from Google Earth, scholars look for parallel and perpendicular lines based on slope and angle measurements. They also calculate...

Middle schoolers describe plotting functions on the Cartesian coordinate plane. They solve functions on paper and using an online tool to plot points on a Cartesian coordinate plane creating lines and parabolas.

More than just data, scatter plots are full of information that can be used to answer a variety of questions. This lesson uses a plot with information about bird egg sizes to answer questions about the relationship between length and...

Introduce middle or high schoolers to topographic maps with this PowerPoint. After a review of longitude and latitude, display and describe contour lines and intervals. Also explain map scale. This is a useful presentation for a social...

Let the class' knowledge of geometry flow like water in an aqueduct. Future mathematicians research ancient Roman aqueducts and consider the geometric concepts necessary in their construction. They then use GeoGebra to create models of...

The data says it's a wrap. Pupils work through four review questions with multiple parts dealing with bivariate data. Questions cover creating and interpreting two-way tables and scatter plots with lines of best fit. Scholars finish up...

Discover the relationship between tangent lines and the tangent function. Class members develop the idea of the tangent function using the unit circle. They create tables of values and explore the domain, range, and end behavior of...

What do your classes know about statistics? Use a pre-test to determine their background.  Topics include scatter plots and lines of best fit, two-way frequency tables, and modeling with linear equations.

In this Algebra I worksheet, 8th graders write the equation of a line given two points and given a linear equation determine the slope, x-intercept, y-intercept, and graph the line.  The five page worksheet contains ten...

Students find the slopes for perpendicular and parallel lines. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between parallel and perpendicular lines. They use Cabri software to create lines to compare.

In this Algebra I worksheet, students determine the graph of the equation of a line.    Students determine the x- and y-intercepts and graph. The three page worksheet contains six problems. Answers are not...

In this Algebra I/Algebra II worksheet, students solve problems involving interpreting the slope of a linear equation as a rate of change.  The two page worksheet contains a combination of seven multiple choice and free response...

How well does your garden grow? Model the growth of dahlias with nonlinear functions. In the lesson, scholars build on their understanding of mathematical models with nonlinear models. They look at dahlias growing in compost and...

In this linear equations instructional activity, students complete 6 multiple choice questions involving writing the equation of a line containing points. Students also match a graph to its linear equation.

In this point-slope worksheet, students write the equation of a line. Each of the 8 problems presents students with an ordered pair and the slope.

Your algebra learners make predictions using the concepts of a linear model from real-life data given in table form. Learners analyze and discuss solutions without having to write a linear equation.

Statistics come front and center in this unit all about analyzing discrete data. Real-world situations yield data sets that the class then uses to tease out connections and conclusions. Beginning with the basic histogram and...

Graph it! Investigate transformations with a graphing calculator. Pupils graph sets of linear functions on the same set of axes. They determine how changes in the equation of a linear function result in changes in the graph.

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....

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. 

In need of an all-inclusive seventh grade math resource? Packed full of the topics necessary for Pre-Algebra the packet includes practice problems with different difficulty levels. It works great for any supplemental use needed...

Students distinguish between positive and negative slope. They calculate the slope of various lines. Students identify and generate perpendicular and parallel lines base on their slope.

In this Algebra II worksheet, 11th graders write the equation of a line given a table, the slope and a point, or two points.  The three page worksheet contains eleven problems.  Answers are not provided.
