Young mathematicians explore integers. They review adding integers through engaging in mathematical labs. Each lab station is designed to reflect one of the multiple intelligences. Resources for all activities are provided.

There are three parts to this lesson on integers. In the first, learners explore positive and negative numbers on an actual painter's tape number line and by playing a "Hot Seat" game. In part two, they view a BrainPop video and work...

Seventh graders identify and find missing patterns. In this algebra instructional activity, 7th graders investigate numbers and sequences and complete the pattern. They make a chart and discuss similarities and differences.

Students model quadratic and linear equations. In this algebra lesson, students solve word problems using equations. They create scatter plots and make predictions using correlations.

Students factor trinomials and quadratics. In this algebra lesson, students solve quadratics when the leading coefficient is one. They use a special factoring pattern to solve the trinomial.

Students perform functional analysis. In this pre-calculus lesson, students recognize the different elements of a function, graph a function and analyze it. They synthesize composites of other basic functions.

Learners investigate linear programming using the TI. In this algebra instructional activity, students collaborate and graph linear inequalities on a TI. They analyze their data and present it to the class.
