We can mathematically model the path of a robot. Learners use parametric equations to find the location of a robot at a given time. They compare the paths of multiple robots looking for parallel and perpendicular relationships and...

Computers are useful for more than just surfing the Internet. Pupils first investigate scatter plots and estimate correlation coefficients. Next, they use Microsoft Excel to create scatter plots and determine correlation...

Students participate in a lesson that investigates Newton's Second Law of Motion. They conduct an experiment of observing balls that are rolled down a ramp. The lesson includes background information for the teacher for preparation and...

Pre-algebra protégés critique a graph depicting Tom's trip to the bus stop. They work together to match descriptive cards to distance-time graph cards and data table cards, all of which are provided for you so you can make copies for...

High schoolers graph systems of equation. For this calculus lesson, students graph their lines on a TI calculator. They identify the point of intersection and the type of solution.

For this equation worksheet, 10th graders identify the slope-intercept equation for a line with a given point. Twenty equations are provided on this two-page worksheet.

For this slopes worksheet, students determine if the given twenty slope pair are from lines that are parallel, perpendicular, or neither.  The solutions are provided.

For this inverse of function worksheet, 10th graders solve and graph 10 different problems that include graphically represented inverse functions. First, they solve each of the problems involving graphs and their inverses. Then, students...

Students use the point-slope formula to determine the relationship between the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales of temperature. They use a graphing calculator to determine the slope of the line between two points in each scale.

Students recognize the importance of slope. They use blocks to model the slope of a line and calculate the slope of a line on a coordinate grid. Afterward, they describe objects they encounter in their everyday lives that have slopes.

This short handout addresses the concept of slope in two different ways: geometrically and analytically. Start with a brief description of slope, then use graphical representations to compare positive vs. negative slope and zero vs....

Examine data and graph solutions on a coordinate plane with this algebra lesson. Young problem-solvers identify the effect of the slope on the steepness of the line. They use the TI to graph and analyze linear equations.

Twelfth graders recognize the use of the slope of the secant line and connect it with the graph of the secant line, as the secant line approaches the tangent line. They also recognize the two forms of the slope formula used and practice...

Students identify the slope of linear functions. For this slope lesson, students collect data and graph it. They write equations with no more than two variables and use technology to explain their data.

In this linear equations worksheet, 8th graders solve 10 different problems that include various types of linear equations. First, they write the distance between Venus and the Sun in scientific notation. Then, students determine the...

In this rates and slopes worksheet, students solve 2 problems where they find the rate corresponding to the speed of the galaxies in a Hubble diagram for galaxies and they calculate the rate of the sunspot number change between indicated...

Young scholars observe and calculate slopes. In this algebra lesson, students graph equations and determine the pace at which the slope is changing. They use the navigator to see the change as they graph the lines around.

Learners watch a quick review on the Parallel and Perpendicular Lines unit. The pupils work through ten review problems ranging from identifying types of angles formed by parallel lines and transversals to writing equations of parallel...

Get the class to take an extreme look at functions. The interactive presents a function on a closed interval with a movable tangent line. Using the given function, pupils determine the extrema, critical points, and points of...

Sometimes it is difficult to grasp topographic maps. Here is a clever presentation designed to help your middle school earth scientists understand. Beginning with a side view of a pair of mountains, a graphic guy walks up one slope. As...

Keep your mathematicians engaged using this group linear functions activity. Each of ten groups receives two graphs with both an image and equation, as well as a "who has" phrase to call out the next graph. Scholars stay on their toes as...

In this parallel and perpendicular lines instructional activity, students find the slope of a line. They identify the slope of a line parallel to another line or find the slope of a line that is perpendicular to a given line. This...

In this algebra/geometry worksheet, learners investigate the slopes and equations of parallel and perpendicular lines.  The two page worksheet contains a combination of eleven multiple choice and free response questions. ...

Students differentiate between parallel and perpendicular lines. In this algebra lesson, students graph linear equations using the slope intercept form. They classify lines based on their slopes.
