Model for your learners that if they can solve an equation, they can rearrange a formula with a well-planned lesson that has plenty of built-in practice. As the lesson progresses the content gets progressively more challenging.

Is there a relationship between powers and roots? Here is a lesson that asks individuals to examine the graphical relationship. Pupils create a table of values and then graph a square root and quadratic equation. They repeat the process...

Swimming is more fun with quantities. The short assessment task encompasses finding the volume of a trapezoidal prism using an understanding of quantities. Individuals make a connection to the rate of which the pool is filled with a...

Functions require an input in order to get an output, which explains why the answer always has at least two parts. After only three multi-part questions, the teacher can analyze pupils' strengths and weaknesses when it comes to...

How many ways can you represent solutions to an equation? Guide your class through the process of solving equations and representing solutions. Solutions are described in words, as a solution set, and graphed on a number line....

Pupils analyze a pattern of conference tables to determine the number of tables needed and the number of people that can be seated for a given size. Individuals develop general formulas for the two growing number patterns and...

A function is like a machine that has an input and an output. Challenge scholars to look at the eight given points and determine the two functions that would fit four of the points each — one is linear and the other non-linear. The...

Use context to explain the importance of the key features of a graph. When context is introduced, the domain and range have meaning, which enhances understanding. Pupils use application questions to explore the key features of the graph...

Efficiently graph a quadratic function using transformations! Pupils graph quadratic equations by completing the square to determine the transformations. They locate the vertex and determine more points from a stretch or shrink and...

Graph A goes with equation C, but table B. The short assessment task requires class members to match graphs with their corresponding tables, equations, and verbalized rules. Pupils then provide explanations on the process they used to...

If the flu outbreak continues, exams will have to be canceled. Investigate the properties of exponential and logarithmic functions. In this algebra lesson, students use the TI to examine and differentiate between exponential growth and...

Collaborative groups utilize their knowledge of parent functions and transformations to determine the equations associated with graphs. The graph is then related to the scenario it represents. 

Most problems can be solved using more than one method. A worksheet includes just nine questions but many more ways to solve each. Scholars must graph, solve, and justify quadratic problems.

Students solve systems of equations with fluency. In this algebra lesson, students graph, use elimination and substitution to solve systems of equations. They identify the point of intersection using algebra.

Students solve and graph linear equations. In this algebra instructional activity, students collect and plot data on a coordinate plane. They use the CBL and TI calculator to graph systems of equation.

Students rewrite word problems using expressions and equations. In this algebra lesson plan, students use the correct variable to solve and write equations. They use the TI to graph their solution.

Mathematicians use an inquiry method to solve linear equations. In this linear equations lesson, students practice solving equations using addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. They solve multi-step equations and equations...

Students recognize patterns and represent situations using algebraic notation and variables. In this variables and patterns lesson, students identify a pattern involving the number of tiles required to form a border around a pool given...

Students rewrite word problems using the correct symbols. In this algebra lesson, students find the trigonometric identities and use them to solve problems. They write equations for the trigonometric ratios.

Students graph and solve equations and expressions. In this algebra lesson, students use simple factorization to simplify expressions. They review for an exam by doing basic algebra.

Students investigate the concept of manipulating polynomials. They go through the process of using algebra tiles in order to practice grouping of like terms and model the solving process.

Students solve problems using exponential properties. In this algebra lesson, students differentiate between exponents, exponential and log functions. They graph their functions using table and exponents.

Many problems in life have more than one possible solution, and the same is true for advanced mathematics. Scholars solve seven problems that all have at least two solutions. Then three higher-level thinking questions challenge them to...

Show your pupils that perimeter is linear and area is quadratic in nature with a short assessment task that requests learners to connect the graph and equation to a description about perimeter or area. Scholars then provide a...
