The Challenge Question
A research position becomes a modeling job. The introductory lesson in a series of nine presents the challenge of analyzing a set of bivariate data. The class brainstorms what the data may represent. Pupils must decide what is needed to...

The Phone Bill Problem
Students write an equation for a linear function. In this algebra instructional activity, students collect data, plot it and graph it. They identify the equation of the graphed data and define the slope and y-intercept of the graph.

Strike a Pose: Modeling in the Real World (There's Nothing to It!)
Adjust this lesson to fit either beginning or more advanced learners. Build a scatter plot, determine appropriate model (linear, quadratic, exponential), and then extend to evaluate the model with residuals. This problem uses real-world...

Make a Pass at Me
Students identify different types of functions and units of measurements. In this statistics lesson, students will collect data, graph their data and make predictions about their data. They plot a linear regression graph.

Equations Lesson Plan
Seventh graders play "What's my Rule" beginning with simple equations and working towards harder problems as student's gain confidence. They evaluate the equations by graphing them. Students identify the slope and y intercepts of the...

Lines in the Plane
Students differentiate between parallel and perpendicular lines. For this algebra lesson, students graph linear equations using the slope intercept form. They classify lines based on their slopes.

Very Varied - Inverse variation
Students identify inverse variations. In this inverse variation lesson, students explore graphs and identify the inverse variation. They write equations for the inverse variation. Students compare and contrast the inverse variation...

Solving Systems of Equations by graphing for Algebra One
Students watch the teacher demonstrate on an overhead projector how to graph various equations before the students try them on their own. They start with pencil and paper; once they grasp the concept they move on to punching in the...

Graphing Linear Inequalities
Eighth graders extend skills for representing and solving linear equations to linear inequalities. Lesson activities build understanding and skill by plotting ordered pairs of numbers that either satisfy or do not satisfy a given...

Identifying slope from Equations
Learners find the slope of a line given a linear equation in slope-intercept form. They also find the slope of a line given a linear equation in standard form. Students finally graph the line to show it visually.

It's a Drag!
Students create number lines using decimals and whole numbers. In this algebra lesson, students graph and solve linear equations. They plot ordered pairs on a coordinate plane correctly.
