Learners solve literal equations.  For this Algebra I/Algebra II instructional activity, learners view a PowerPoint presentation about solving literal equations.  Learners have the opportunity to complete an interactive...

In chemistry, the mole is a unit of measurement, much like a millimeter or liter. After learning about moles, scholars learn various equations relating to mass, volume, and concentration. They review each of these equations in a few...

This fabulous resource is a must-have for any algebra teacher's arsenal of lessons. Developing the idea of equations and use of variables from basic physical scenarios, learners gain valuable intuition in the structure and meaning of...

Practice with literal equations. Solve for one variable in terms of another.  Find the value of y given specific values of x. This short worksheet would make a good warm-up activity at the beginning of class or a quick assessment at...

Make a game out of solving equations. This particular activity works well for pairs of learners. Follow the instructions to have player one pick a number and player two verbally give an equation. Participants need to make sense of a...

Students analyze and solve linear equations. In this algebra lesson plan, students solve inequalities using the slope and y intercept. They rewrite word problems into algebraic equations and solve for the unknown.

Students watch the teacher demonstrate on an overhead projector how to graph various equations before the students try them on their own. They start with pencil and paper; once they grasp the concept they move on to punching in the...

Learners identify the quadrants and axis of a coordinate plane. In this algebra instructional activity, students discover the ocrrect way to graph using the coordinate plane. They discuss the relationship between x and y values, domain...

Students graph their solutions using a linear equation. In this algebra lesson, students rewrite words problems into algebraic equations and graph their solutions. They solve word problems dealing with real lie scenario.

Twelfth graders explore Derive.  In this Calculus lesson plan, 12th graders investigate the menus and tools available in Derive.  In addition to the familiarization part of the lesson plan, students investigate Pascal’s...

Students use the metric system to convert equations. They use a conversion table to change from metric units to the units they are more comfortable with (Fahrenheit temperatures, miles, quarts, pounds.) Students use algebraic equations...

Students review the standards for Algebra I. Using the text, they discover two problems that match each standard and solve them showing all steps on paper. They create a PowerPoint slide for each problem and go through the correct...

Ninth graders express mathematical properties through creation of advertising jingles.

Young scholars create a slideshow of multiplication facts using Keynote. Students create slides with a multiplication fact and a picture representation for the multiplication facts from 2 through 5.
