Linear Equations & Manipulatives
High schooler math students review operations and solve linear equations using manipulatives--squares, cubes, circles, and cups. They transfer the operations performed on the manipulatives in equation form.
Curated OER
Finding Equations
Students make equations from everyday data. They create a graph from the equations. Students predict and analyze the results. Students complete the second scenario on their own and turn in their handout.
