Students determine if there is an associationm in a scatter plot of data. They analyze data through predictios, comparisons, and applications. Students calculate the line of best fit using a graphing calculator. They display data in...

Students plot slope fields. In this introduction to slope fields lesson, students plot 12 slope fields for given differential equations.

Young scholars examine and discuss typical linear equations, and the difference between a linear and nonlinear equation. They observe examples of linear equations and complete a worksheet.

Pupils identify the line of best fit. For this statistics lesson, students collect and analyze data. They calculate the regression equations and identify the different types of correlation.

In this geometry activity, 10th graders use coordinate geometry to examine the lengths, slopes, and midpoints of the diagonals of the different quadrilaterals in order to arrive at conclusions regarding the properties of the diagonals....

Students identify the properties of different polygons. In this geometry lesson, students find the slope of a line and calculate the distance between two lines. They differentiate between similar and congruent polygons.

In this linear equation worksheet, pupils graph linear equations and identify the x or y-intercept. There are nine graphing equations on this two-page worksheet.

This basic handout would be good for skills practice or a review of parallel and perpendicular lines. Review the definitions, then practice writing equations of lines that pass through a specific point and are either parallel or...

Use this worksheet to write equations in both point-slope form and slope-intercept form. Start by writing equations given one point and the slope and finish by writing equations given two points and a few real-world applications. The...

On a topographic map, students identify the scale bar, north arrow, and contour interval. They then locate a hill on the map and make note of the contour lines. Students then locate other places with similar contour line patterns....

In this least squares learning exercise, students solve 6 different problems that include the least squares of numbers. First, they plot 3 points on the axes shown and draw in their best approximating line. Then, students estimate the...

Students graph lines using the slope and y-intercept. In this algebra instructional activity, students create data using tables and equations. They use their data to make predictions and draw conclusion.

More people, more garbage! Young environmentalists graph population growth against the amount of garbage generated per year and find a linear model that best fits the data. This is an older resource that could benefit from more recent...

Students explore graping linear equations and their relevance to real life situations. After a teacher led demonstration, students work at their desks and on the board to plot points and determine the slope of a line. Students then...

Challenge your class to identify, label, and draw a wide range of symmetries with this activity. In addition, learners name symmetrical shapes and compare them to alphabet letters. This activity asks class members to work with lines of...

Analyze data on a graph to answer three questions after a robot race. Learners practice comparing ratios and reading points on a graph. Answers may vary on the last question based on accuracy of graphing. Use the lesson along with...

Draw a graph that shows the qualitative features of a function that has been described verbally. Make sure learners understand where time is zero and the distance is zero. It may take them some time to understand this concept, so working...

Can your class write linear equations three different ways? Here is a study guide that includes slope-intercept, standard, and point-slope forms. Learners are given the slope and a point on the line, or two points and are asked to write...

An informative presentation covers motion, metric system, conversions, graphing of coordinates and lines, speed, velocity, and acceleration problems, as well as mean calculations. This is the first lesson in a 26-part series.

Assist your class in learning graphical analysis by reviewing the slide presentation. Class members review 15 slides to further understand concepts such as velocity and acceleration. They conclude with practice problems related to the...

Introduce your algebra learners to linear and quadratic functions. Learners compare the differences and relate them back to the equations and graphs. Lead your class to discussions on the properties of a function or a constant slope...

The more you text, the less you study. Have classes test this hypothesis or another question related to text messages. Using real data, learners use technology to create a scatter plot and calculate a regression line. They create a dot...

Busy buses bustling back and forth. In this middle school assessment task, learners use information given in a graph to answer questions about bus schedules. They then determine how many times a bus passes by other buses going in the...

A research position becomes a modeling job. The introductory lesson in a series of nine presents the challenge of analyzing a set of bivariate data. The class brainstorms what the data may represent. Pupils must decide what is needed to...
