Linear Equations Table of Contents

Ben Franklin Graph From the book "Graphitti" this is an excellent way to introduce graphing points in four quadrants.
Linear Equation Introduction You really should read this to understand the general idea of this unit. It introduces the threesome of TABLES, FORMULAS, and GRAPHS.

What's the Situation? (homework)

All of these activities and homework assignments are designed to be physical (real life) representations of linear equations. In each one, students are required to create the table, formula, and graph for the situation.

Plotting Lines #1

Plotting Lines #2

Plotting Lines #3

All three of these activities, students are required to create an xy table to create the line for each equation.

Slope Intercept #0

Slope Intercept #1

Slope Intercept #2

Slope Intercept #3

These are the exact same lines as PL #1, #2, and #3. However, this time, students graph the lines by identifying the slope and intercept.

Finding Formulas #1

Finding Formulas #2

Students are given a line or a description of a line and are required to determine its formula.
