Students watch the teacher demonstrate on an overhead projector how to graph various equations before the students try them on their own. They start with pencil and paper; once they grasp the concept they move on to punching in the...

Students explore Rise and Run. In this math lesson plan, students use Rise and Run to find given slopes, they will use the slopes to calculate distances from point to point on graph paper.

Eighth graders combine like terms in this properties of variables lesson. Using named items (stars, moons and hearts), they combine like terms using variables. They use the distributive property to combine like terms. Finally, they write...

In this graphing learning exercise, students graph ten linear equations on each of the graphs provided. They first plug in some values to the given equation using a T-chart. This will give them their coordinates to use on the graph and...

Students explore average speed, and graph distances and time.  In this speed and velocity activity students complete a lab then calculate distances, acceleration and velocity and graph the data.
