Ninth graders investigate the order of operations.  In this Algebra I lesson, 9th graders explore the rules of arithmetic and algebra as they review and practice simplifying increasingly complex numeric expressions using the order...

Eighth graders investigate slopes using real life scenario. For this algebra lesson, 8th graders model and interpret real life data. They plot their data in a coordinate plane and discuss the results with the class.

In this power law function worksheet, students use data from the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space telescope to apply the power law function to physical phenomena. Students use a graph to solve four problems.

How do doctors predict a child's future height? Scholars use one case study to determine the height of a child two years into the future. They graph the given data, determine the line of best fit, and use that to estimate the height in...

Investigate the relationship between height and arm span. Young statisticians measure the heights and arm spans of each class member and create a scatter plot using the data. They draw a line of best fit and use its slope to explain the...

It is positive that how one performs on the first test relates to their performance on the second test. The three-question assessment has class members read and analyze a scatter plot of test scores. They must determine whether...

Do your classes truly understand the distributive property? Use a demonstrative lesson to represent the distributive property in various ways. Learners solidify understanding by creating a geometric pattern for distributive...

Money can't buy happiness, but it can put food on the table and pay the bills. The first of a five-instructional activity unit teaches pupils about the unemployment rate in 1963 and its relationship with the March on Washington. They...

Eighth graders use a meter stick that is placed on a horizontal surface and an object is moved along it so that the shadow length can be measured at different distances from the light source. They solve real-world problems involving...

For this geometry worksheet, students plot coordinate pairs and connect the points to create different shapes. They give th shapes its polygon's name. They differentiate between simple functions and rectangular hyperbola.

In this slope worksheet, students examine graph and determine the slope of a line.  They determine coordinates of a point to make a true statement.  Students identify the dependent variable and the independent...

In this colligative properties and chemical equilibria worksheet, students answer twenty questions including ranking solutions base on their colligative properties and determining what must happen to a reaction to reach equilibrium.

Students investigate an accident and relate it to math. In this trigonometry lesson, students measure the accident scene, the friction produced, and the speed from the skid marks. They create a poster of their findings.

Twelfth graders practice their graphing skills in an exercise about acceleration due to gravity. Lesson opens with a demonstration of acceleration due to gravity and a brief discussion. Students complete a worksheet and go over answers...

In this physics review learning exercise, students complete 24 matching and problem solving questions pertaining to math code, speed, experiments and variables, slope, and acceleration and average speed.

Students practice single operation arithmetic ranging from single digit addition to long division of decimals or real numbers using Graphit. They use data sets and rules to graph ordered pairs.

Students explain the meaning of Ohm's Law, and plot a graph of voltage versus current, by explaining how the slope is the resistance of the circuit.

Two very clear examples of point-slope form are given in this Purplemath lesson. One example begins with the slope and a point and the other example begins with two points. Includes interactive widget for practice determining a linear...

A comprehensive guide for learning all about linear equations in one variable with definitions, how to solve them, solved examples, and practice questions.

Brush up on your math skills relating to linear equations then try some practice problems to test your understanding.

Slope-intercept form of a line is shown in formulas and examples with this Purplemath lesson. There are examples of slope-intercept with the slope and a point and with two points. Includes interactive widgets for exploring concepts.

The name linear comes from the fact that such an equation in two unknowns or variables represents a straight line. A set of such equations is called a system. This site explains all this and more.

This math tutorial shows the relationship of a slope to a straight line and how to write equations in point-slope or slope-intercept form.

Complete this tutorial to learn how to graph a straight line if given the y-intercept and slope and how to graph horizontal and vertical lines. View examples of lines with different slopes, and practice working with slope-intercept form.
