This learning progression is for an Algebra class for 9th grade students. There are five lessons in the progression. The content includes introducing students to graphing and what forms of functions they may come across when evaluating linear functions. It starts with a fun worksheet on plotting points it introduce the students to the coordinate system and the four quadrants. Then the progression transitions to the concept of slope and how to find it using two points by using a worksheet to assess. After that, point-slope and slope-intercept form are included and is the first time the students will be graphing a linear equation. Lastly, there is a full lesson plan on parallel and perpendicular lines in the math program Geogebra. It is an interactive activity which includes a overview of the material that is gone over in the learning progression, which solidifies prior content knowledge for the students.
