Students use their knowledge and understanding of equations of lines to explore independent and dependent variables. They determine how to isolate a variable and how to predict data points not represented in data.

Third graders use graphing calculators to graph equations. They make visual models of algebraic expressions and they can readily see that an equation represents something.

In this Algebra I worksheet, 9th graders match vocabulary words relating to linear equations to their definition in a drag and drop game format.  The one page interactive worksheet contains seven matching questions and is self...

Ninth graders solve linear equations.  In this Algebra I lesson, 9th graders investigate the properties of equations (Reflexive, Symmetric, Transitive, Substitution, and Transformation Properties) and use these properties to solve...

Eighth graders investigate linear equations.  For this Algebra I lesson, 8th graders explore the effects that manipulating a linear equation has on the graph of the function through the use of a java applet.

In this scatter plot worksheet, learners write an equation for a line that would fit the given scatter plot. They create scatter plots from given information. This two-page worksheet contains eight problems.

In this systems of equations worksheet, students solve 2 different problems that include setting up various systems. They compute a given system using matrix operations. Then, students verify that the solution is correct by drawing a set...

Students study linear equations. Using algebra tiles, they model solving two-step linear equations. They discuss inverse operations, demonstrate solutions and justify answers. Given worksheets, students solve real world problems.

Tenth graders use the mathematical program, MATHEMATICA and graph linear and quadratic equations. They sketch the graph of an equation manually. Students compare their sketch with the computer generated model of the graph.

Students groups act as aerospace engineering teams competing to create linear equations to guide space shuttles safely through obstacles generated by a modeling game in level-based rounds. Each round provides a different configuration of...

The student is given actual data and asked to find a line of best fit and to give "real world" interpretations of the slope and y-intercept. A great introduction to the 83/84 and its features.

This lesson introduces students to Activity Center and is intended to help students understand the meaning of slope and y-intercept. They will explore the relationships between symbolic expressions and graphs of lines by using Activity...

In this activity, students create a situation that produces linear behavior by stepping heel to toe and taking distance readings as each step is taken. Students then apply the properties of a linear function to develop a model for motion.

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

This interactive site checks students' understanding of slope and intercept. Seven question require students to determine slope and intercept of a line from the graph. The site is a test that can be scored on-line.
