Linear Measurement

Study customary measurements with your sixth graders. They will investigate linear and capacity measurements to then measure and convert linear and capacity units. Finally they will work in small groups to conduct experiments. Resources...

Everybody loves video day! Grab your class's attention with this well-designed and engaging resource about graphing. The video introduces a scenario that will be graphed with a piecewise function, then makes a connection to domain...

Incorporate geometry into the solving linear equations lesson. Pupils use their knowledge of geometry to write linear equations which reinforces geometry measurement concepts while at the same time providing a familiar context for...

Mathematicians study how algebra can tell the stories of linear growth and they develop problem solving skills in relation to linear growth contexts. In this lesson, students organize information to explain growth, they use algebraic...

Explore linear functions! In this Algebra I lesson, mathematicians graph data in a scatter plot and use a graphing calculator to find a linear regression and/or a median-median line. They use the model to make predictions.

From the cost of car repairs, to bike jumps, and even to drug dosages, linear equations come in handy everywhere. Learners create scatter plots and interpret any linear trends. They write linear regression equations that fit the...

Engage the class in exploring linear measurement and map scales. They work in groups to measure various distances in the classroom and convert measurements to other units as directed by the teacher. To access this Word document, click on...

Young mathematicians explore data collection and mathematical problem solving. They will work in cooperative groups to determine the height of a tree by measuring several predetermined distances on the ground. They will use the data...

Pupils explore linear functions in this lesson when they collect and analyze data as a chemical reaction proceeds. Learners record pressure versus time data and model the data as a linear function. They also examine the concept of slope...

Line up the sides of a polygon. Using a graphing calculator, pupils make a line graph that creates a polygon. Then, with the equation graphing function of the calculator, learners graph linear equations to match up with the lines of the...
