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 translate between verbal and algebraic expressions. After folding paper into four sections (multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction), students list code words under the appropriate section title. Next, they...

High schoolers apply the formulas for the area of parallelograms and triangles. Through guided practice, students discover the correct way to apply the formulas. Working in pairs, they write their own problems featuring the formulas.

Students solve area problems.  In this area, circumference, and perimeter lesson, students solve area and perimeter problems using standard and metric units of measure.  They identify the best customary unit of measure for a...

In this factoring activity, students practice factoring using formulas. Explanations are available for each equations. This two-page activity contains 14 problems.

For this open sentences worksheet, students solve and complete 10 different problems related to identifying various types of open sentences. First, they state whether each equation is true or false for the value of the variable given....

Students use the Pythagorean formula to find the length of a line. Afterward, they explore the midpoint formula to determine the midpoint of a line with a non-zero slope on a coordinate plane. Students complete assigned problems and...

High schoolers investigate the concept of inequalities and practice graphing them at various degrees of difficulty. They review the basic rules with the teacher at the level of theory which may make it harder for them to understand...

Students participate in an activity to demonstrate the distributive property. They take notes as they observe different methods of FOIL. Afterward, students work on their own, and in groups to determine which method to use and complete...

Young scholars simplify problems using the rules of exponents and practice translating word sentences to algebraic expressions. Through a teacher led lecture and demonstration of exponent rules, students take notes and observe how to...

In this reflections and symmetry worksheet, students draw lines of symmetry in shapes and patterns and reflect letters over lines in graphs. Students complete 20 problems.

Students model projectile motion algebraically and graphically; and make predictions based on the quadratic algebraic model.

Students use similar triangles and a sight tool to find the height and distance between large objects. In this similar triangles lesson plan, students use a constructed sight tool to measure the distance and height of an object using an...

Students use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve problems. In this geometry lesson plan, students solve for the distances by calculating the different parts of the shape of a two and three dimensional shape. They reason by analogy.

Students create a spreadsheet to analyze data. In this technology activity, students develop and use an Excel spreadsheet to log their data. They solve real life word problems as they set it up using the spreadsheet.

What did you do over your summer vacation. Young wage earners must compare summer job options, and determine when each job earn the same amount and what that amount be. This be done by creating, graphing, and solving systems of...

Students investigate the Pythagorean Theorem. In this geometry lesson, students define angles and sides of right triangles. They calculate the area and surface area using formulas derived by the Pythagorean Theorem.

Ninth graders solve linear equations.  In this Algebra I activity, 9th graders investigate the properties of equations (Reflexive, Symmetric, Transitive, Substitution, and Transformation Properties) and use these properties to solve...

Students listen to a guest speaker discuss credit, and what lenders look for when approving loans. They investigate savings and loans, banks, credit unions and finance companies to find out what A.P.R. they charge for certain items.

Students use skills that are directly related to alcohol, tobacco and other drug choices (e.g., refusal skills, decision making, stress reduction skills)
