Linear and Functional Relationships Unit Algebra 1 Curriculum

This large Algebra 1 unit teaches linear functions and relationships. Students begin by identifying and evaluating functions before exploring slope, graphing linear equations using multiple methods, writing equations in different forms, parallel and perpendicular lines, real-world linear applications, and scatter plots with lines of best fit.

Throughout the unit, students strengthen their graphing skills while making connections between equations, tables, graphs, and real-world situations.

The unit is written for 30 to 45 minute class periods and includes everything you need from pre-assessment through unit test. Lessons follow a consistent structure, with multiple opportunities for practice, review, and assessment.
