Pupils explore linear functions in this lesson when they collect and analyze data as a chemical reaction proceeds. Learners record pressure versus time data and model the data as a linear function. They also examine the concept of slope...

Students participate in an activity to simulate direct variation. For this oil spills on land lesson, students participate in a simulation using toilet paper and vegetable oil to explore the characteristics of direct variation. They...

In this linear function activity, students use Excel worksheets to solve piecewise linear functions. They plot functions and produce piecewise linear functions. This six-page activity contains detailed instructions on how to use Excel...

In this linear function worksheet, students explain how the linear function relates to direct proportionality. They answer questions dealing with slope fields, rate equations and illustrate Euler's Method. After answering six...

In this derivative formula worksheet, students solve problems concerning the derivative of constant functions and linear functions. They explore the derivative of the cosine and sums and differences functions. This six-page worksheet...

Students reflect functions about the X-axis, Y-axis, and origin. They derive equations for reflected functions using the website www.explorelearning.com.

Students identify and interpret how absolute value affects linear functions. They also graph linear functions and reflect them in a line of symmetry. Finally, students evaluate the absolute value of a constant using technology to...

This tutorial shows you how to enter a set of data and find the line of best fit.

In this activity, students will perform a series of experiments with inclined planes. They will learn that as the angle of inclination of the inclined plane approaches 90 degrees, the value of the acceleration of the cart traveling down...

This StudyCard stack teaches and tests on the linear function. Shows connection between the function parameters and the resulting geometric behaviors of the linear function. Use with Foundations for College Mathematics, ch. 2.3, 4.1.

This lesson introduces students to Activity Center and is intended to help students interpret representations of functions of two variables. The Activity Center will be used to investigate equations that represent a company's income,...

Students can use traffic tickets to demonstrate their understanding of writing linear functions.

Students use the CBR 2 to gather data and identify "buried" objects. They interpret and analyze graphs of height as a function of time, and use the change in the y-coordinates of an ordered pair to determine the height of an object.

In this lesson concept we use the Activity Center to build some basics in students understanding of linear functions. The linear relationship is clearly one of the big ideas of the algebra curriculum, and it paves the way for a deeper...

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.
