Your class is asked to use inverse operations to solve eleven equations for unknown variables or to rearrange formulas to highlight a quantity of interest. By using the same reasoning as solving one- and two-step equations, algebra...

Ninth graders explore the process of solving one-step equations.  In this Algebra I lesson, 9th graders solve one-step equations involving multiplication and division.  The lesson includes translation of verbal expressions to...

This problem solving PowerPoint presents a detailed, logical sequence of steps to follow in order to solve a story problem. The thinking processes described are given in text and represented by a visual model. After discussing the...

Students, using algebraic operations, solve and check linear equations. At the beginning of class, they write a paragraph comparing the solving of math problems to solving real life problems. Students observe solving systems of two...

Find the area; scholars examine nine images of squares and rectangles with width, length, and units provided for each. They multiply double-digit numbers to find the area, writing it into the box provided. Because square units are...

Here is a (great) lesson on using parentheses! The task requires the expression of ages using algebraic expressions, including the distributive property. Pupils use their expressions to determine the individual ages.

Students work to complete various algebraic equations using different methods. Given a word problem, students create a poster identifying the various parts of the equation as well as the solution to the problem. Posters are presented...

Inquiry-based learning and investigations form the basis of a deep understanding of quadratic functions in a very thorough unit plan.  Learners develop recursive and closed methods for representing real-life situations,...

Students solve and graph quadratic equations. In this algebra lesson, students perform basic operation using addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. They compute the quadratic formula.
