New ReviewIt's not magic, it's math! Observe as a collection of points becomes a line. Scholars watch as a video instructor creates a table of values to graph linear equations. Examples include equations in both slope-intercept and standard forms.

New ReviewSome points are on the line and others are not—help your pupils determine which is which. A video lesson presents an equation in slope-intercept form and a set of points to test. The narrator shows how to substitute the ordered pair to...

Water pressure decreases at a constant rate with a change in depth. A video lesson demonstrates how to use a linear equation to determine the depth when given a specific pressure. Learners must substitute for the dependent variable to...

What does a linear equation look like in a table? A video lesson practices graphing linear equations by making an input-output table. The instructor emphasizes the pattern in the table and relates that to the graph of the function.

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...

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...

Y equals graphs are horizontal, but x equals graphs are vertical. Learners explore the connection between the graph and the equation of vertical lines while watching an instructional video. The presenter shows a set of ordered pairs...

The rate of change between points describes how quickly one variable changes relative to another. The video instruction concentrates on calculating the slope between two points using the slope formula. The instructor first explains the...

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...
