This is a task from the Illustrative Mathematics website that is one part of a complete illustration of the standard to which it is aligned. Each task has at least one solution and some commentary that addresses important asects of the task and its potential use. Here are the first few lines of the commentary for this task: The slope between two points is calculated by finding the change in $y$-values and dividing by the change in $x$-values. For example, the slope between...

Each task has at least one solution and some commentary that addresses important asects of the task and its potential use. Here are the first few lines of the commentary for this task: Without graphing, construct a system of two linear equations where $(-2,3)$ is a solution to the first equation but not to the second equation, and whe...

Adding and subtracting polynomialsMathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) help teachers align instruction with the 2016 Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the knowledge, skills and processes found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom.

This course discusses how to use algebra for a variety of everyday tasks, such as calculate change without specifying how much money is to be spent on a purchase, analyzing relationships by graphing, and describing real-world situations in business, accounting, and science.

From Khan Academy- This site teaches High Schoolers how to create equations through a series of 298 questions and interactive activities aligned to 5 Common Core mathematics skills.

In the Ball Bounce task, teams of three students collect real-time ball bounce data for two minutes to organize, display and use to form predictions. After collecting and organizing their data, students first observe how the data behave. Then they make predictions using data, scatterplots, or the equation of the curve of best fit to solve a
practical problem. This task offers students collaborative experience in using mathematical models of linear functions.

Students research two variables about the car model they intend to purchase. They use Desmos to compare these same variables across five different car models. Students use analysis of bivariate data in order to decide which car makes sense to buy. Students prepare and share a summary statement and include desmos screen shots in order to justify their purchase. This task offers students experiences in making predictions, using data, scatterplots, or the equation of the curve of best fit for decision-making in a practical problem.

This task presents a real-world problem requiring the students to write linear equations to model different cell phone plans. Looking at the graphs of the lines in the context of the cell phone plans allows the students to connect the meaning of the intersection points of two lines with the simultaneous solution of two linear equations.

Students solve multistep equations (with variables on only one side).  Students choose between two models/equations at each of six points in this Google Form activity.

This resource from the Mathematics Assessment Project was found at OER Commons. https://www.oercommons.org/courses/finding-equations-of-parallel-and-perpendicular-lines/view. This lesson unit is intended to help teachers assess how well students are able to understand the relationship between the slopes of parallel and perpendicular lines and, in particular, to help identify students who find it difficult to: find, from their equations, lines that are parallel and perpendicular; and identify and use intercepts.

This is a remix of "Comparing Speeds in Graphs and Equations" by Illustrative Mathematics. The activity can be used to introduce the characteristics of direct variations. There is also a link to a direct and inverse variation foldable.

With your mouse, drag data points and their error bars, and watch the best-fit polynomial curve update instantly. You choose the type of fit: linear, quadratic, cubic, or quartic. The reduced chi-square statistic shows you when the fit is good. Or you can try to find the best fit by manually adjusting fit parameters.
