Organization: North Carolina Standard Course of Study Grade Band: 6th grade Standard Goal: The learner will demonstrate an understanding of simple algebraic expressions.
Activity: Students investigate very simple functions by trying to guess the algebraic form from inputs and outputs. Function Machine is one of the Interactivate assessment explorers.
Activity: Manipulate a linear function of the form f(x)=mx+b using slider bars. Explore the relationship between slope and intercept in the Cartesian coordinate system.
