Middle schoolers explore the concept of slope in numerous ways and start to look at simple linear equations. They describe the slope in a variety of ways such as the steepness of a line, developing a ratio, using graphs, using similar...

class members first work through finding the equation, table of values, graph, and key features of a linear function expressed verbally. Individuals then work through several more problems given different representations.

Express your wonder at this resource. Middle schoolers solve 10 short problems in the expressions and equations domain. They apply operations with scientific notation, set up and solve equations, and analyze linear equations.

This is a great resource to keep daily material aligned to standardized assessments. It offers complete multiple choice and short-answer practice with a wealth of opportunities for customization. Offer it as a whole,...

Ensure your eighth graders get the most out of their math education with this series of Common Core checklists. Rewriting each standard as an "I can" statement, this resource helps teachers keep a record of when each standard was...

These four lesson plans build algebra skills for working with numbers in exponential form and for examining triangles. Be aware that in the text, scientific notation is referred to as index notation and the laws of exponents as the laws...

This worksheet works math masters though the concept of rise over run. They shade in the slope triangle that is created to help visualize the components. After a page of teaching the concept is a thoughtful exercise to give to your class...

This site by the Northeast Parallel Architecture Center, Syracuse University, shows the different forms of linear equations for a line.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this lesson students write the equations of lines in point-slope form and in slope-intercept form and graph linear equations. Students examine guided notes,...

Find the slopes of lines whose equations are given in various forms. For example, find the slope of 2x+3y=5. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Find a quick, concise explanation of point-slope form. An example is given and clearly explained.
