The concept of absolute value can be difficult for learners to grasp. Reinforce their understanding of a basic absolute value expression and connect it to solving equations and inequalities. Scholars write two equations/inequalities to...

A table of each state's record temperature reports data that middle schoolers can place on a number line for analysis. A written explanation of how to use this tool and the concept of absolute value are also included. Nine questions are...

Is there a way to measure variability? The ninth resource in a series of 22 introduces mean absolute deviation, a measure of variability. Pupils learn how to determine the measure based upon its name, then they use the mean...

In the first of a two-day lesson on transformations with matrix notation the class transforms the unit square using general transformations, then calculates the area of the transformed image. They discover it is the same as finding...

Let's finish a functional review. Pupils work through 31 items to review the concepts learned in Unit 8. Scholars determine whether a mapping is a function and identify the domain and range. Using function notation, individuals then...

Here is an extensive set of teacher's notes to help you teach all about integers. Begin by introducing a number line and how it can be used to visualize positive and negative numbers. Talk about absolute value and the additive inverse...

Draw a graph that shows the qualitative features of a function that has been described verbally. Make sure learners understand where time is zero and the distance is zero. It may take them some time to understand this concept, so working...

Starting a year of Algebra I? This mighty packet practices all of the major topics with different ranges of difficulty. Standards include everything from linear to quadratic to rational expressions. Use it in a...

Congratulations, you've just hit the word problem jackpot! Covering an incredible range of topics from integers and fractions, to percents, geometry, and much more, this collection of worksheets will keep young mathematicians...

Use 2x2 matrices to move along a line. The second day of a two-day lesson plan is the 28th installment in a 32-part unit. Pupils work together to create and solve systems of equations that will map a transformation to a given...

Individuals learn to divide and conquer complex numbers with a little help from moduli and conjugates. In the second lesson plan on complex number division, the class takes a closer look at the numerator and denominator of the...

Individuals measure a computer monitor and determine how accurate their measures are. The eighth segment in a series of 20 introduces the concept of percent error. Pupils find the percent error of their measurements and discuss the...

While this resource does not provide problems for chemistry learners to solve, it outlines skills that they should have and concepts that they should grasp. Topics include thermodynamics, periodicity, redox equilibria, transition metals,...

This resource would actually be best used as a projection when teaching about additive inverses. The first "page" shows on a number line how 6 and -6 get you to zero. The second supplies an opportunity for viewers to apply the concept to...

This short handout addresses the concept of slope in two different ways: geometrically and analytically. Start with a brief description of slope, then use graphical representations to compare positive vs. negative slope and zero vs....

In this International Way of Thinking learning exercise, students write answers to questions about basic economic concepts as well as using a chart about production.

In this calculus worksheet, students calculate the derivative, find the invertible given the derivative and review basic concepts for their AP calculus exam. There are 17 questions.

For this science worksheet, students complete the exercises that focus on the concept of heat and the use of a thermometer. The sheet also requires prior knowledge of using a telephone.

A six-day unit for algebra II on exponential and logarithmic functions builds upon Chapter 12 of Merrill Algebra II with Trigonometry; Applications and Connections. The text provides assistance in the depth of instruction...

Put those numbers to work by completing a statistical study! Pupils finish the last two steps in a statistical study by summarizing data with displays and numerical summaries. Individuals use the summaries to answer the statistical...

Just how far away from the mean is the data point? Pupils calculate the standard deviation for a set of data and find out how many standard deviations a point is away from the mean. The teacher leads a discussion on how to calculate...

In this algebra worksheet, students complete a variety of basic algebra problems. They compare integers, identify sets of numbers, simplify equations, translate words into numerical expressions, and identify properties. This worksheet...

In this math activity, students examine the concept of floating point arithmetic. They compare the tools of chopping and rounding to measure accuracy.

Young mathematicians extend their knowledge of rational numbers on a number line to graph inequalities by first using number cards to compare rational numbers. They finish by using similar reasoning to graph inequalities on a number line.
