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...

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...

Tell the story of the math. Given a graph of a linear system, learners write a story that models the graph before crafting the corresponding functions. Graphs intersect at an estimated point, allowing for different variations in the...

An interactive simulation that teaches about slope-intercept form and graphing linear equations through observations while connecting the slope and y-intercept to the line equations. This simulation can either be downloaded or played...

Use the TI-84 Plus, Cabri Jr., and TI-Navigator to teach slopes and y-intercepts in your Algebra classroom.

Students groups act as aerospace engineering teams competing to create linear equations to guide space shuttles safely through obstacles generated by a modeling game in level-based rounds. Each round provides a different configuration of...

This activity can be used to explore forces acting on an object, to practice graphing experimental data, and/or to introduce the algebra concepts of slope and intercept of a line. A wooden 2x4 beam is set on top of two scales. Students...

This activity teaches students the relationship between the slope, y-intercept, and the equation of a line.

This StudyCard stack teaches that, when linear functions are added, the slope of the sum is equal to the sum of the slopes, likewise for y-intercepts. Includes quadratic and up polynomials.
