Use a instructional activity to go over the basic concepts of relations and functions. Included are clear definitions and examples of relations, domain and range, and functions and the vertical line test.  However, the problems are...

Students identify function using tables of data. In this algebra lesson, students create a tale of point and plot on a coordinate plane. They analyze the graph as being a function or not.

Learners solve linear equations. By observing the graph of each side of an equation using the TI-nspire graphing calculator, your class gains insight into solutions, as well as balancing equations and transforming linear equations....

Is it possible to solve quadratic equations by factoring? It is, and your class will graph quadratic equation and functions too. They perform transformation on their graphs showing increasing and decreasing intervals, domain, and range....

High schooler math learners review operations and solve linear equations using manipulatives--squares, cubes, circles, and cups. They transfer the operations performed on the manipulatives in equation form.

Students make equations from everyday data. They create a graph from the equations. Students predict and analyze the results. Students complete the second scenario on their own and turn in their handout.

Students explore inequalities. For this Algebra I lesson, students solve and graph linear inequalities involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division.  Students use inequalities to solve and graph real-world problems.

Upper elementary and middle school learners explore currencies from a variety of countries. They use the Internet, video, and engage in hands-on activities. They practice converting U.S. currency to foreign currency and vice versa. This...

Introduce high schoolers interested in animation programming to fundamental programming concepts so that they can plan and write simple programs.

Students perform a science experiment. In this algebra lesson, students collect data from their experiment and create a graph. They analyze the graph and draw conclusion.

How do you solve linear equations? Learn how to solve simple linear equations by applying properties of equality in this instructional slideshow. The materials include step-by-step instructions and key concepts to support understanding.

Students participate in a lesson that covers the concepts of solving equations and inequalities. To master the concept they must demonstrate visually and verbally how both sides of an equation must be balanced. They construct a balanced...

Students identify the different factors affecting the size and shape of ocean waves. In this math lesson, students calculate wave speed and wavelength given a mathematical formula.

Students develop definition for parabola, explain relationship between properties of the graph of a parabola and its equation, explain how the equation of a parabola can be written in different forms, and solve problems that relate the...

Middle schoolers investigate seed germination. In this instructional activity on scientific prediction, students conduct a scientific experiment using oat seeds.

Young scholars review the lecture portion of this lesson plan. Individually, they graph various points on a complex plane and identify conjugates based on their location on the graphs. They complete a worksheet and review their answers...

Students review plotting points on a coordinate plane. Individually, they add and subtrace complex numbers and graph them in a complex plane. They follow along a worksheet while their teacher lectures on the new material and solve...

Eighth graders evaluate statistical equations. They examine data from archaeologists at Jamestown, complete statistical equations using the sets of data, and graph the results.

Students practice graphing a linear equation and a parabolic equation. They work cooperatively to select numbers, including fractions, which they will put into ordered pairs. Students explain their process to the class, discussing what...

Students make a rocket out of paper. They follow the given instructions and test to see if it will fly. They write about the experiment and are given the opportunity to change their varibles to make their rocket work.

Practice solving equations that take two steps to solve. These problems involve arithmetic with fractions and decimals. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive...

This lesson provides students with opportunities to practice writing equivalent equations and expressions for finding perimeter and patterns on a calendar. It also gives extension and remediation ideas as well as related instructional...

In this problem, we have to transform expressions using the distributive, commutative and associative properties to decide which expressions are equivalent. Common mistakes are addressed, such as not distributing the 2 correctly. Aligns...

This tasks gives a verbal description for computing the perimeter of a rectangle and asks the students to find an expression for this perimeter. They then have to use the expression to evaluate the perimeter for specific values of the...
