Triangles and prisms don't stand a chance when your learners use this handout full of the formulas they need to know about the different shapes. Area, volume, and surface formulas are all covered along with the standard measurement and...

Use a vocabulary chart to introduce math functions. The class defines a list of mathematical vocabulary terms on a worksheet, as well as completes equations and expressions. They examine word problems and practice transcribing them into...

In this math activity, 6th graders solve 54 algebra problems where they have to find the value of y. These math problems are written in different ways. In some problems, the answers are written first followed by the equation.

Middle and high schoolers investigate how to solve inequalities. The lesson has a good guide for taking pupils through a direct instruction of the concept. You can use counting tiles in order to help kinesthetic learners.

Students brainstorm pizza toppings and determine the number of possible ways to order a pizza. In this algebra lesson plan, students analyze and investigate geometric patterns as they relate to the concept of a variable. Students...

Examine ratios and proportions in several real-world scenarios. Children will calculate unit rates, work with proportions and percentages as they plan a party, purchase produce, and take a tally. This lesson plan recommends five...

In this algebra learning exercise, students complete 72 problems, solving for given variables. A website reference is given for additional activities. 

In this algebra worksheet, students solve for variable in a set of 54 problems.  A website reference is included for additional resources.

The amount of tax and tip on a restaurant bill is a common example used in percent problems. Here, learners only know the total amount paid, and they need to figure the itemized amounts. Solutions using a ratio table, using knowledge of...

Math is all about finding patterns. In this ask, scholars first investigate a sequence formed by squaring the sum of the digits in the previous term. They go on to investigate a second sequence and write an algebraic expression for this...

We landed on the moon with less computing capabilities than you can find in this app! Here is a multiple function calculator that takes all the power you get from a handheld and adds the wonderful large screen that only a tablet can...

Students practice writing number sentences. After reading real world problems, they describe the same situation by writing a number sentence. Students use algebra tiles, or counters, to demonstrate the use zero pairs in solving...

Sixth graders interpret linear and nonlinear graphs. They create graphs based on a problem set. Next, they represent quantitive relationships on a graph and write a story related to graphing.

Students investigate simple linear functions by trying to guess a function rule from inputs and outputs. They write the function rule in algebraic form.

Statisticians analyze a data set of student IQs by finding measures of central tendency and dispersion such as mean, median, mode, and quartiles. They practice using a graphing calculator to find the values and analyze box plots and...

Aspiring astronauts graph, interpret, and analyze data. They investigate the relationship between two variables in a problem situation. Using both graphic and symbolic representations they will grasp the concept of line of best fit to...

Students practice the addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of integers. They view a video clip on addition and subtraction of integers. Students observe a Web site that reviews multiplication and division of integers....

Gain an understanding of the different ways to solve equations by viewing examples and a video lesson. [2:21]

Based on our understanding of the balance beam model, we know that that to keep a true equation, we always have to do the same thing to both sides of an equation. But how do we know what to do to both sides of the equation? Learn to...
