Algebra Lesson Plans

Ninth graders observe and demonstrate how to solve algebraic expressions and how to graph equations. They define key vocabulary terms, observe the teacher solve examples of adding and subtracting with variables and combining terms, and independently complete a worksheet.

Seventh graders study linear equations. In this algebra lesson, 7th graders solve and write two step linear equations in one variable.

Sixth graders listen to problems and identify the process to solve them.  In this Algebra and Geometry problem solving lesson, 6th graders practice identifying, comparing and ordering integers while solving problems.  Students recognize opposites and the absolute value of numbers. Students complete a handout for assessment.

Learners solve muiti-step equations. In this pre - algebra lesson, students use the distributive property and combine like terms to solve equations. This lesson comes with about 20 pages of worksheets, warm-ups, quizzes and answer keys. 

Seventh graders calculate percentages of different quantities. In this math lesson plan, 7th graders simplify algebraic equations. They determine the angles and length of sides of triangles.

Students are presented with a story about two individuals running a race in which one is given a head start. Students must map the progress of the runners, create a chart examining patterns and graph the progress. In the end, students must come up with algebraic representations for the runners' rates.

There is nothing more engaging than cracking a secret code! Middle schoolers will replace letters with numbers to solve problems. This game will help them to begin to understand algebra questions by finding the value of missing numbers. In the end they will complete a worksheet replacing with number values.

Eleventh graders investigate the way credit cards work when collecting interest. In this algebra lesson plan, 11th graders investigate the growth of interest exponentially when using a credit card. They calculate what the cheapest rate is to repay a $2000 loan using different interest rates.

Students solve problems using the order of operation. In this algebra lesson, students use the acronym PEMDAS to help them remember what operation has to be done first. They add, subtract, multiply and divide integers correctly.

Students gather data, graph and build an enlarged foot. For this algebra lesson, students use ratio and proportion as they build. They make a larger scale version of a foot using the correct ratio.
