Graphing Linear Equations Teacher Resources

Starbucks or house blend? Pupils analyze the unit rate as the cost per pound of coffee. They use a graph to visualize the unit rate given the cost for a quantity other than one pound.

Demonstrate how to create an input-output table to graph a linear function with a video lesson that begins with evaluating the function for a set of values and then plotting the results. It includes opportunities for learners to practice...

Steepness, gradient, and slope all refer to the same feature of a line. Young scholars watch and rewatch a video lesson to build a solid understanding of the relationship between the rise compared to the run of a line. Examples include...

Examine the features of linear slope with a video tutorial that explains the origin of the slope formula using a graph. Pupils then see several examples including positive, negative, and slopes of varying steepness.

Find out what causes a function to slide. Pupils move a function along the x-axis and see the resulting change in its equation. Scholars determine the effects that the translation has on the intercepts, domain, and range of the function.

Design and build a rover ... then eat it? This activity has groups of two design and build Mars rovers. The teams determine what instruments they want to include with their rover and plan a budget. They calculate the cost of the body of...

Before graphing and finding distances, learners investigate the coordinate plane and look at patterns related to plotted points. Points are plotted and the goal is to look at the horizontal and vertical distances between coordinates and...

Mixing math and art is done in this lesson by applying graphing knowledge to create a unique piece of art. This lesson varies acording to the graphing knowledge of the artist. First, learners identify and review various types of graphing...

In 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...

Take a look at a star resource. Young mathematicians use a graphing calculator to draw intersecting lines that look like a star. They then apply translations to move the entire star and also consider what transformations must occur to...

Investigate parallel and perpendicular lines in the coordinate plane. Watch as the instructor demonstrates graphing the two types of lines. She highlights the patterns of the slope or steepness of the pairs of lines to make the concept...

Students use the slope and y-intercept to graph lines. In this algebra lesson, students graph linear equations and apply it to solving real life problems.

Introduce your next math lesson with video that explains how to find the slope of a line through text and visuals. A brief definition and quick example are shown within the first 30 seconds. Note: There is no audio in this video.

Math was easier before it got mixed up with the alphabet. A 10-page test covers material from multiple years of high school math. Scholars demonstrate knowledge across domains with a mixture of short answer and applied problems.

Zip lines aren't so scary when all your scholars use them for is math. Young mathematicians see how the slope of a zip-line to a building changes as the height changes. They answer a set of challenge questions regarding the scenario.

Animate a lesson with an animation. An explanatory video uses an animation to show viewers how adjusting the values of m and b in y = mx + b affects the graph of a line. Scholars see how modifying these parameters results in changes to...

Students identify the slope of an equation using various methods. In this algebra lesson, students graph linear equations and calculate the slopes using the x and y intercept to solve the equations and graph the lines. They use the slope...
