Students use a professional basketball team's data and graph it on a coordinate plane. They draw a line of regression and finding its equation. They access a website containing statistics for the Houston Rockets basketball team to solve...

Students are introduced to the basic ideas needed for understanding linear functions.

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.

Pupils explore the concept of coordinate proofs. For this coordinate proofs lesson, students write coordinate proofs using properties of distance, slope, and midpoint. Pupils discuss why it is sometimes beneficial to double the...

Students are introduced to linear inequalities in slope-intercept form. As a class, they participate when needed in a demonstration given by their teacher and practice graphing inequalities and describing the solution. They set up and...
