Algebra Lesson Plans

In this lesson students construct, wire, and test computer chips to determine the function of each, and discuss real life applications of the Boolean Algebraic concept. This lesson includes discussion questions, gender equity considerations, web links, a clear procedure, and all necessary worksheets.

Students translate word problems into algebraic equations. In this algebra lesson, students rewrite word using symbols and evaluate algebraic expressions using real life scenarios.

Learners discuss the importance of semiconductor. In this algebra lesson, learners define semiconductor and discuss the importance of the size of the microchip. Learners discover that new technology allows the chips to be smaller.

Learners examine algebraic expressions. In this number patterns and algebraic expressions lesson, learners watch Cyberchase episode segments and then practice recording number patterns in 2-column tables to write simple algebraic expressions.

In this lesson students explore patterns.  In this Algebra lesson, students investigate area patterns, perimeter patterns, a pattern using the constant function of the calculator, the relationship between multiplication with repeated factors and the use of exponents, patterns in division, and patterns with percents.  This lesson provides ample opportunity for conjecture and verification and is a complilation of seven available lessons . 

Students are introduced to the concept of Boolean Algebra. In groups, they are given real life situations in statements and make conclusions. They use the statements to form compound statements. To end the lesson, they use the compound statements to develop their own truth statements.

This lesson has students solve inverse functions through graphing and algebra. In this algebra lesson, students graph inverse functions and use the correct notation to write the equation. They observe a graph and write an equation for the function.

This lesson has learners explore variables and variable expressions. They select pictures from a newspaper or magazine to describe and algebraic expression. This lesson has learners write the word sentence under the picture and then translate the words to an algebraic expression. In groups, learners match expressions using symbols. They play an "I Have, Who Has" game and use a mystery box to explore functions.

Students read word problems, create questions and come up with solutions. In this algebra lesson, students are taught to use previous knowledge combined with current content to solve problems logically and algebraically.

This lesson has students explore 5 classical problems of algebra.  In this 5 classical problems of algebra lesson, students solve problems involving Heron's formula, fractional equations, vector equations, apollonius' sphere, and transversals.
