Lines in the Coordinate Plane
Students graph lines in a coordinate plane. In this geometry lesson, students graph lines on a coordinate plane, and identify the slope. They classify the lines as parallel or perpendicular and write an equation of a given line.
Curated OER
Writing equations for the picture project
Students write equations for their graphs. In this algebra activity, students analyze graphs after they plot them using coordinate points and write an equation for the line given the slope and y-intercept. They express their answers...

Creating Line Graphs
High schoolers draw line graphs. In this math activity, students interpret minimum wage data and graph the data in a line graph. High schoolers predict the next minimum wage and figure the earnings for a 40 hour work week for someone...
Curated OER
The Cartesian Plane
Learners solve and complete 22 various types of problems. First, they find the gradients of the lines and plot the given points. Then, they complete the table of values for each equation and use the table to draw the graph.
