School Improvement in Maryland

Lesson Plans: Lesson plans were written by Maryland mathematics educators and could be used when teaching the concepts.

Goal 1 Functions and Algebra

Expectation 1.2 The student will model and interpret real-world situations using the language of mathematics and appropriate technology.

Indicator 1.2.1 The student will determine the equation for a line, solve linear equations, and/or describe the solutions using numbers, symbols, and/or graphs.

Lesson Plan

Linear Relationships - Standard Form
Objectives:
  • The students will use a graphing calculator to examine the association between the data points and equation of a linear relationship.
  • The students will write equations in standard form and then graph the equations using the slop-intercept form.

Lesson Plan

Systems of Linear Equations - Slope-Intercept Form
Objectives:
  • Students will use the calculator to represent a situation as a table, graph, and equation.
  • Students will write systems of equations and find solutions to systems of equations.
  • Students will explain how they determined their solutions to a system of equations. Students will also justify their solutions.
