Ninth graders practice recognizing similarities and differences found in the graphing of inequalities and equations. Once observatioons are made they solve some of their own applying prior knowledge.

Young scholars practice reading a graph while doing story problems. They determine the x and y intercepts and calculate the slope. They also practice writing linear equations.

Young scholars apply the concept of transformation to the game of battleship. In this algebra instructional activity, students relate their linear equations to how they would graph or set up their game pieces to win.

Students compare the costs of two cellular phone plans and determine the best rate. They use a table and a graph of points plotted on a Cartesian plane to display their findings. Students write an equation containing variables that could...

Students graph linear equations using intercepts, find y-intercept, find x-intercepts and graph linear equations that use horizontal and vertical lines.

In this math instructional activity, students find a solution basis and compute the Wronskian for each of the equations. Then they sketch a graph of a typical solution.

In this algebra worksheet, learners solve linear equations and plot their results on the coordinate plane. There are 20 problems using slopes and intercepts to help graph linear equations.

Students investigate motion using a CBL. In this algebra lesson, students collect and graph data on a coordinate plane. They define and identify amplitude and period of conic graphs.

Students graph linear equations. In this algebra lesson, students discuss the effect the change in one variable has in an equation. They discuss the effect equations have if you chage the value of the variable.

Students produce an equation from a graph, based on an engineering-context story provided. In this production of equations activity, students write an equation given the graph and description. Students also describe what the y-intercept...

Compose and decompose sets of 13 and 14 and compare sets of each with your little learners. They use objects to construct sets of 13 and 14, record their answers, and compare sets in several different ways.

Eighth graders experiment with a bathroom scale, books and a plank to determine how weight readings change as distance is applied. They graph and interpret the results.

Students graph linear equations and make a poster. In this algebra instructional activity, students write the equation of a line, and identify the domain or x-value of the graph. They create picture for their project.

Students identify and reflect functions about the X-axis, Y-axis, and origin. They derive equations for reflected functions and graph the linear functions. Finally, students identify that f(x) can be reflected about each axis and the...

Learners explore the characteristics of logarithmic functions and their relationship to exponential functions. Using the subscriber website Explorelearning.com, pupils observe changes in the input variable and its effect on the graph of...

Once learners realize what direct variation is, they see it's just a type of linear function. The lesson poses a general question that leads to the creation of the y = kx formula. The resource includes discussion prompts and ideas for...

Solve systems of equation using graphing! In this algebra lesson, learners use the TI to graph two lines and identify the number of solutions. They perform interactive graphing on the navigator.

Students write an equation for a linear function. In this algebra lesson, 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.

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...

Challenge high schoolers with a thorough math resource. The 20-page test incorporates questions from upper-level high school math in applied and higher order questions.

Do homework grades really determine test scores? Learn whether lines of best fit, correlation coefficients, and residuals can be used to determine test scores when given homework grades. (It would certainly save teachers time in grading...

Students build their own nation in groups where they create a name, flag, declaration of independence, form of government, mathematical layout, and more. In this nation lesson plan, students also provide a scale drawing of their nation...

Students identify the slope of linear functions. In this slope instructional activity, students collect data and graph it. They write equations with no more than two variables and use technology to explain their data.

For this math activity, students find the slope of four lines when they are drawn on a coordinate grid. Students are given the slope and draw the line for two lines. They use the slope formula to find slope when given two points on a...
