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 8–12 Mathematics)
By Misty Jarman.
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 8–9 Mathematics)
By Debbie Brooks, Peggy Dickey, and Jan Sullivan.
To be or not to be... linear
The student will determine the correlation between two variables. They will graph ordered pairs on a coordinate plane, determine a best fit line, find slope and intercepts, and write the equation of a line. This lesson plan is geared for both 8th grade math and algebra.
