Personal trainers: Working with slope: In CareerStart lessons: Grade eight, page 2.2; In this lesson, students make calculations based on slope and answer questions about slope (rate of change).; Format: lesson plan (grade 9 Mathematics); By Debbie Brooks, Peggy Dickey, and Jan Sullivan.

Investigating linear equations: Using a graphic calculator to compare the slope and y-intercept of lines to understand the slope-intercept form (y = mx+b) and what effect each has on a line.; Format: lesson plan (grade 9–12 Mathematics); By Misty Jarman.

Homerun hoopla: This lesson is designed for students to gather and analyze data about baseball figures. The student will use the Internet or other resources to collect statistical data on the top five home run hitters for the current season as well as their career home run totals. The students will graph the data and determine if it is linear or non-linear.; Format: lesson plan (grade 9–12 Mathematics); By Anne Walters.

Bouncing ball experiment: In this experiment students should be in groups of 3. Students will drop a ball from different heights and measure the corresponding bounce. Since each group will use a different ball, they will generate different sets of data. They will be asked to discuss and compare their linear function with that of their classmates. They should practice measuring the ball bounce before they begin to collect data.; Format: lesson plan (grade 9–12 Mathematics); By alicia jones.

Traveling Distances: Students interpret the meaning of the slope and y-intercept of the graph of real-life data. (Learn more); Format: lesson plan (grade 9–12 Mathematics); Provided by: National Council of Teachers of Mathematics
