Can two lines intersect at more than one point? Using yarn, create two lines on the floor of the classroom to find out. Cooperative groups work through the process of solving systems of equations using task cards and three different...

Geometers identify and determine angle pair relationships when two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal. They review the concepts of angles by watching streaming video clips online, read definitions of lines and angles from...

Turn your classroom into a local cell phone store. Then, have your cell phone agents use linear equations to visually display three cell plans and their advantages. It makes for a great group project. Discuss how to decide which plan is...

Work within a parallel universe. Scholars learn about the relationships of angles when two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal. They see how to find the measurements of all eight angles by knowing the measure of one angle....

Parallel lines seem so right for each other. It's too bad they'll never, ever meet. Learners use tracing paper to discover relationships among angles formed by two parallel lines cut by a transversal. They apply this information to find...

The resource is a good introduction to what makes a proportional relationship between two lines. Discuss the similarities of both lines and the possibility of intersection. Use this opportunity to list other acceptable forms of each...

Middle and high schoolers graph two lines and identify the point of intersection of each set of line. They use the TI calculator to help them graph and solve. There are six questions with detailed instruction on how to graph correctly.

Do pilots create appropriate spacing between aircraft by traveling a longer or shorter path? An interactive presents two airplanes that violate safety protocols. Pupils must determine how to change the path of one plane to create...

For this points, lines, and planes worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 18 different problems. First, they classify each of the statements listed as true or false. Then, students name the intersection of planes illustrated. They...

Learners find the equation that passes through two given points. They then locate the intersection of two lines, and find the x and y intercepts for four parabolas when given their equations. Answers are provided.

Here is a real-world application for systems of equations. When is it better to pay an enrollment fee and lower daily rate, and when is it better to pay the regular price? The local swim center is having a special offer, reductions in...

Students solve systems of equations graphically. In this algebra lesson plan, students find the point of intersection of two lines if they are not parallel. They rewrite the equation in the y=mx + b form and graph using slope and intercept.

For this operations with sets worksheet, learners solve 1 multiple choice problem. Students identify the intersection of two sets A and B given the two sets.

Students are asked to describe to a partner how he or she walks to school or the bus stop. They are shown on the overhead an one-inch grid paper, and at the intersection of two lines on the grid paper, students are shown a house and...

With 30 problems, each accompanied by a blank graph, pupils get thorough practice solving systems of equations by graphing and finding the point of intersection. Answers are provided in coordinate form.

Lets keep the system working and show learners the three ways to solve linear systems of equations. Each method includes step-by-step instructions to work their way through the problem. The same problem is used for each method to show...

Graph equations of lines using the slope-intercept method or by plotting both x and y intercepts. Determine if two lines are parallel or perpendicular by comparing their slopes. This handout includes step-by-step directions and four...

Learners explore the concept of solving systems of equations with two equations and two unknowns. In this solving systems of equations lesson, they work through problems of solving systems by substitution, elimination, and graphing....

If at first you cannot graph, substitute. The instructional activity introduces the substitution method as a way to solve linear systems if the point of intersection is hard to determine from a graph. The 28th installment of a 33-part...

Streets, bridges, and intersections, oh my! Parallel lines and transversals are a present in the world around us. Learners begin by discovering the relationship of the angles formed by parallel lines and a transversal. They then...

The intent of this resource is to show algebra learners that there is a proportional relationship between two lines that have an intersecting point. As the coordinate x increases by a constant, the y coordinate also increases.  It...

Based on two sets of parallel lines intersected by a transversal, your young geometers determine the measures of 10 angles by applying the definitions of vertical, corresponding, alternate interior, and alternate exterior angles. When...

Young mathematicians identify different cases of intersecting secant lines. They then investigate the case where secant lines meet inside a circle.

Young scholars explore the concept of solving systems of equations. In this solving systems of equations lesson plan, students watch YouTube videos about how to solve systems by graphing and by elimination. Young scholars use an...
