PRODUCT SUMMARY
Linear relationships are all around us. Join our hosts as they tackle linear equations and slope -- two topics in algebra that go hand-in-hand. Through a series of real-world scenarios, see how a table of values, a graph and a formula or equation can be used to describe a linear equation. Investigate the graphs of linear equations and see how they change, depending on the slope of the line. Using tools such as the slope formula and slope-intercept form, students will explore slope with the constant reminder that, if the relationship between two sets of numbers is linear, you know that you've got the graph of a line -- and you know that you can calculate slope. Part of the multivolume Algebra for Students VHS Series. A teacher's guide is included and available online.

"Beginning algebra students are often overwhelmed by the number of new concepts that must be grasped in order to understand this complex branch of mathematics. Algebra for Students is a 10-volume series that attempts to illustrate how algebra works by translating symbols, vocabulary, and algebraic expressions into easy-to-understand real-life scenarios. In Analyzing Inequalities, two engaging hosts use the hypothetical situation of buying concert tickets (with those annoying service charges) to generate algebra problems related to inequalities (“more than,” “less than,” “in between,” etc.). Each equation or graph is explained in detail with clear illustrations and animated graphics, while common mistakes are also covered. Other titles in the series include: Exponential Functions, Functions & Relations, Linear Equations & Slope, Patterns & Formulas, Polynomials, The Pythagorean Theorem & Right Triangles, Quadratic Functions, Systems of Linear Equations, and Variables, Expressions & Equations. Highly recommended.
