Linear Measurement

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...

Students identify the properties of a linear function. In this algebra lesson, students represents functions using tables and graphs. They apply the concepts of linear functions to solve real life problems.

For this linear equations worksheet, students read and interpret graphed linear equations.  They read a story problem, write a linear equation, and plot the points on a coordinate plane.  This five-page worksheet cotnains 12 problems.

Students discover the relationship between mass and length of a copper wire.  For this relationship between mass and length of a copper wire lesson, students collect data on the mass of various lengths of copper wire.  Students make a...

This short but information-packed presentation begins with a thorough review of how to calculate mean, median, and mode of a given data set. What makes it a unique lesson is the follow-up example and presentation of how these measures of...

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...

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.

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...

Explore linear conversions using an engaging interactive lesson. Learners drag a point on a graph to discover the equivalent degrees in Fahrenheit and Celsius. Embedded questions highlight key features such as slope and the y-intercept.

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...
