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 instructional activity, students organize information to explain growth, they...

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

In this linear equations worksheet, high schoolers 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.  In 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...

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 instructional activity, 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.

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...

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...

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...
