  • 01

    Add, Subtract, Multiply and Divide Integers

    This lesson covers adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing integers and evaluating expressions using order of operations.

  • 02

    The Distributive Property and Simplifying Expressions

    This lesson covers simplifying variable expressions, expressions with binomial numerators and applying the distributive property with fractions.

  • 03

    Solving Multi-Step Equations with Variables on Both Sides

    This lesson covers solving multi-step equations including the use of the distributive property, combining like terms, multiplying by a reciprocal to clear a fraction, and variables on both sides. This lesson also introduces the possibility of identity and no solution.

  • 04

    Rewriting Equations of Familiar Formulas

    This lesson covers the process of rewriting equations by isolating a different variable in an equation or formula.

  • 05

    Discrete and Continuous Functions

    This lesson covers graphing by using a table of values for discrete and continuous functions with set and restricted domains.

  • 06

    Graphing Using Intercepts

    This lesson covers the process of graphing linear equations using the x and y-intercepts by identifying both intercepts, plotting the points, and drawing a line.

  • 07

    Finding Slope and Rate of Change

    This lesson covers using a formula to find slope given two points on a line and using a graph to find and compare rates of change.

  • 08

    Graphing Using Slope-Intercept

    This lesson covers identifying slope and intercept, putting linear equations in slope-intercept form and graphing using the slope and y-intercept.

  • 09

    Direct Variation

    This lesson covers graphing direct variation equations and writing a direct variation equation based on a story problem.

  • 10

    Graphing Functions/Parent Function

    This lesson covers function notation, graphing a function and comparing it to the parent linear function and using relations words to compare (stretch, shrink, reflection, translation.)
