What is an Identity Equation?

Identity equations are equations that are true no matter what value is plugged in for the variable. If you simplify an identity equation, you'll ALWAYS get a true statement. Learn about identity equations in this tutorial, and then create your own identity equation. Get creative! The possibilities are endless!
How Can You Tell if a Relation is Not a Function?

Every function is a relation, but not every relation is a function! Watch this video to learn how to tell which relations are functions and which are not.
What is a Linear Function?
What Does the Slope of a Line Mean?

You can't learn about linear equations without learning about slope. The slope of a line is the steepness of the line. There are many ways to think about slope. Slope is the rise over the run, the change in 'y' over the change in 'x', or the gradient of a line. Check out this tutorial to learn about slope!
What's Positive Correlation?

Looking at a line-of-fit on a scatter plot? Does that line have a positive slope? If so, your data shows a positive correlation! Learn about positive correlation by watching this tutorial.
What's Slope-Intercept Form of a Linear Equation?

When you're learning about linear equations, you're bound to run into the point-slope form of a line. This form is quite useful in creating an equation of a line if you're given the slope and a point on the line. Watch this tutorial, and learn about the point-slope form of a line!
What's the Y-Intercept?

When you have a linear equation, the y-intercept is the point where the graph of the line crosses the y-axis. In this tutorial, learn about the y-intercept. Check it out!
How Do You Solve a System of Equations by Graphing?

There are many different ways to solve a system of linear equations. In this tutorial, you'll see how to solve a system of linear equations by graphing both lines and finding their intersection. Take a look!
How Do You Solve a System of Equations Using the Elimination by Subtraction Method?

There are many different ways to solve a system of linear equations. In this tutorial, you'll see how to solve such a system by combining the equations together in a way so that one of the variables is eliminated. Then, see how find the value of that variable and use it to find the value of the other variable. Take a look!
What's a System of Linear Equations?

A system of equations is a set of equations with the same variables. If the equations are all linear, then you have a system of linear equations! To solve a system of equations, you need to figure out the variable values that solve all the equations involved. This tutorial will introduce you to these systems.
What Is the Distance Formula?

If you need to find the distance between to points on the coordinate, you'll probably use the distance formula to get your answer. This tutorial introduces you to the distance formula and even shows you how to find it!
What is the Distributive Property?

The distributive property is a very deep math principle that helps make math work. It's the rule that lets you expand parentheses, and so it's really critical to understand if you want to get good at simplifying expressions. So check out the tutorial and let us know what you think!
How Do You Solve a Word Problem Using the Direct Variation Formula?

Word problems allow you to see math in action! Take a look at this word problem involving an object's weight on Earth compared to its weight on the Moon. See how the formula for direct variation plays an important role in finding the solution. Then use that formula to see how much you would weigh on the Moon!
How Do You Solve an Inequality With Variables on Both Sides?

Solving an inequality for a variable? Just perform the order of operations in reverse! Don't forget that if you multiply or divide by a negative number, you MUST flip the sign of the inequality! That's one of the big differences between solving equalities and solving inequalities.
What's a Function?

You can't go through algebra without learning about functions. This tutorial shows you a great approach to thinking about functions! Learn the definition of a function and see the different ways functions can be represented. Take a look!
How Do You Find the Rate of Change Between Two Points on a Graph?

The rate of change is a rate that describes how one quantity changes in relation to another quantity. In this tutorial, practice finding the rate of change using a graph. Check it out!
How Do You Make a Scatter Plot?

Scatter plots are a very useful way to help you visually see data. In this tutorial, you'll see how to take data from a table and plot it to create a scatter plot. Take a look!
What is a Transversal?

Ever heard of a transversal? It's not as confusing as the term sounds. This tutorial will introduce you to transversals and show you the neat things that happen when a transversal meets two parallel lines. Take a look!
What is the Formula for the Surface Area of a Prism?

To find the lateral and surface areas of a prism, itâ€™s important to know their formulas. In this tutorial, youâ€™ll learn about each of these formulas and see them used in an example. Check it out!
What is an Unbiased Sample?

When you're trying to learn about a population, it can be helpful to look at an unbiased sample. An unbiased sample can be an accurate representation of the entire population and can help you draw conclusions about the population. This tutorial introduces you to unbiased sampling!
