Week 1
Lesson 1
Plotting and the Coordinate System
In this session, the student will learn how to identify the location of points on a coordinate graph and find the length of a line segment.  

Exercise - Label ordered pairs, determine distance between points, identify the location of coordinates, and plot points in different quadrants. Applications to plotting geometrical shapes will also be covered in this lesson.
 Week 2
Lesson 2
Finding Slope Graphically and With Formulas
In this session, the student define slope and learn how to calculate slope graphically and with a formula for linear equations. Students will be introduced to direct variation (k).  The student will also learn the relationship of slope (m) with the constant of proportionality (k) and how to identify the direction, magnitude of the slope (m).

Exercise - Define slope and constant of proportionality.  Calculate the slope and constant of proportionality using graphs and with formulas. 
 Week 3
Lesson 3
