Tell the story of the math. Given a graph of a linear system, learners write a story that models the graph before crafting the corresponding functions. Graphs intersect at an estimated point, allowing for different variations in the...

Word problems offer class members an opportunity to learn the concept of solving linear systems using graphs. Individuals choose a problem based upon preferences, break into groups to discuss solution methods and whether there...

In this algebra worksheet, students identify the systems of equation as quadratics or linear. They graph their solutions. There are 4 questions with an answer key.

Combine algebraic and geometric strategies to find solutions. The task asks learners to find the coordinates of a third vertex of a triangle to create a triangle with a specific area. The project is a set of seven problems that...

Ensure your eighth graders get the most out of their math education with this series of Common Core checklists. Rewriting each standard as an "I can" statement, this resource helps teachers keep a record of when each standard was...

In this systems of equations practice instructional activity, students use their problem solving skills to solve 24 problems.

Students solve and graph linear equations. In this algebra instructional activity, students solve systems of equations using elimination and substitution. They graph their answer and identify the point of intersection.

Mix up your lessons with the resource on mixture problems. Scholars use manipulatives to model and solve mixture problems. Individuals then set up both one- and two-variable equations to solve the problems.

Learners demonstrate different algebraic equations using Borenson's Hands-On Equation materials. They work in a cooperative group to solve algebraic equations.

You have to love lessons that foster problem solving strategies. This one has upper graders devise and employ their own strategy to solve given problems after they have used classics like guess/check, substitution, make a table, and look...

Pupils solve equations using a TI in this algebra instructional activity. They will practice solving equations and systems of equations on a TI. The TI-Navigator is required for this assignment.

Write a math story for a series of problems using given variables. The class writes stories, showing understanding of strategies in compound sentences. They then solve the equations.

Students use the children's story of The Tortoise And The Hare in order to investigate the graphing of equations. The story is converted to an algebraic word problem for them to solve. Students investigate the relationships of data and...

In this algebra instructional activity, students solve systems of equations using linear and quadratics. They graph their solutions on a coordinate plane. There are 5 questions with an answer key.
