Class Experience

US Grade 6 - 9
This course introduces students to linear equations. Topics include finding the slope and intercepts, graphing, and using linear equations to model word problems.  

The course consists of five lessons that build on previous lessons.  Lessons include a video clip to explain the concepts and demonstrate the skill the student will learn in the lesson. Practice exercises along with solutions and explanations are also provided in each lesson.  

Students often struggle with fundamental concepts such as working with integers, basic graphing skills, and solving one-variable equations. This course begins with an in-depth review of these skills to encourage student success.

Learning Goals

Solve equations in one variable
Graph proportional relationships, interpreting the unit rate as the slope of the graph. 
Create equations that describe numbers or relationships
