Points, Lines, Plus! Mastering Linear Equations for Grades 6-10

This class will focus on linear equations and inequalities. Each lesson will include a slide show with examples, explanations, and a chance for students to practice what they've learned. We'll alternate working on things as a group and giving students time to try problems on their own. 

I've found many students struggle a bit with the concept of the coordinate plane (X-axis and Y-axis), even when they have no trouble with other parts of algebra. (On the flip side plenty of students struggle with other aspects of algebra, but find graphing points and lines easy.)

This course is for students who need more practice, more guidance, or more review of points and linear equations than they get in a standard pre-algebra or algebra class. 

Each week will include a few homework problems so students can try what they've learned on their own. The following week, I'll post a solution video so students can see how they did. If students have questions or other concerns, they can ask each other in the classroom or contact me for more help.

Week 1:
Using points in the coordinate plane and graphing linear equations and inequalities with substitutions.

Week 2: 
Slope and intercepts: Graphing Slope-Intercept form to graph equation, inequalities and systems.

Week 3: 
Creating equations: Using Point-Slope form and knowledge of lines to write equations for lines or inequalities.
