Investigate the different types of slope using graphs and ordered pairs. Scholars use the slope formula to determine the slope of a line between two points. Includes examples with a slope of zero and with no slope. The lesson follows a...

Work on graphing linear equations using the provided materials. The print and video lesson thoroughly review the concepts related to graphing linear equations in slope-intercept and standard form. The materials prepare learners for...

Each form of a linear equation has its purpose — pupils just have to find it. Building on the previous lesson in the series, learners examine point-slope and standard form. Using point-slope form, pupils write the equation of a...

Enhance your class's understanding of linear equations by extending their study to parallel and perpendicular lines. Young mathematicians learn the relationship between the slopes of parallel and perpendicular lines. They then use that...

So many methods and so little time! The efficient method of graphing a linear equation depends on what information the problem gives. Pupils learn three different methods of graphing linear equations. They graph equations using...

What does a slope of 2/3 mean? Develop an understanding of the key features of a linear function. Pupils graph the linear functions and explain the meaning of the slope and intercepts of the graphs. 

If it's warm, they will come! Learners find a line of best fit to show a relationship between temperature and beach visitors. Previous lessons in the series showed pupils how to create and find associations in scatter plots. Now,...

There's just something special about lines in algebra. Introduce your classes to linear equations by analyzing the linear relationship. Young mathematicians use input/output pairs to determine the slope and the slope-intercept formula to...

What does a graph or equation say about a situation? Lots! The lesson uses the concepts explored in the previous four lessons in the series and applies them to problem solving situations. Learners create an equation from problems posed...

This resource should be called "All About Lines, and Then Some!". Packed full of all the key components of linear functions, learners review how to set up different equations, find intercepts, and graph. All the main topics are included...

When guess and check gets old, it's time to start graphing! An instructive lesson explains how to solve a system of linear equations using graphing. Equations are in both slope-intercepts and standard form. 

Teaching linear function relationships using contextual information is beneficial to pupils' understanding. The lesson uses problem solving to build linear functions given different information for each problem. This is the second...

Do you need to graph lines to see the point? A thorough lesson plan provides comprehensive instruction focused on solving systems of equations by graphing. Resources include guided practice worksheet, skill practice worksheet,...

You may be able to see patterns visually, but mathematics quantifies them. Here learners find correlation in scatterplots and write equations to represent that relationship. They fit a line to the data, find two points on the line, and...

Need a helping hand in Algebra I? How about a giant, super-sized learning exercise packet? Here is a resource that has worksheets for virtually every concept with some accompanying examples. 

Triangles and prisms don't stand a chance when your learners use this handout full of the formulas they need to know about the different shapes. Area, volume, and surface formulas are all covered along with the standard measurement and...

Demonstrates, step-by-step and with illustrations, how to use slope and the y-intercept to graph straight lines.

This site from the Northeast Parallel Architectures Center, Syracuse University has a very substantial discussion of math topics slope & line equations. The outline form is quite useful if you need to zero in on one aspect of...

A brief overview of three methods used to graph lines is presented through examples. Slope-intercept, point-slope, and intercept form are demonstrated step-by-step along with a review of the formula for finding the slope of a line.

This study guide on lines in a coordinate plane covers key terms, what different line slopes look like, postulates about parallel and perpendicular lines, the slope-intercept equation, how to graph parallel and perpendicular lines, and...
