Young scholars solve linear equations. In this algebra lesson, students use manipulative's to see the steps taken when solving linear equations. They solve using addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

In this algebra lesson, students work in groups to design a treasure map in which algebraic equations must be solved using the correct order of operations. Students decide where treasure is hidden, then create and follow their group's...

Young scholars examine linear equations. In this functions and algebra lesson, students write equations in the slope-intercept form. They enter data in a graphing calculator, examine tables, and write linear equations to match the data.

Students write the algebraic equation to determine the number of weeks money must be saved to purchase a yo-yo. In this algebra lesson, students create a pattern of one penny surrounded by six pennies. They continue the pattern and...

In this algebra worksheet, students solve a Sudoku puzzle through guessing and calculation. An answer key is provided. This would be a great warm up or activity for early finishers.

Seventh graders study linear equations. In this algebra lesson, 7th graders solve and write two step linear equations in one variable.

Examine multiple ways to solve algebraic equations. Pupils will generate a problem solving strategy that addresses the prompt given by the teacher. They will then share their problem solving strategy with the class. Graphic organizers,...

Students work with rectangles to find generalizations for adding and subtracting odd and even numbers in part one of the lesson. In part two, students use geoboards to construct polygons, look for patterns, and find a general rule.

Youngsters explore number patterns within a Hundreds Chart. They discover six specific patterns from six teacher-directed rules in cooperative groups and describe in words ONE of the three patterns in their Learning Logs. They prove for...

How to use the relationship between multiplication and division to solve math word problems is the focus of the lesson presented here. In it, fourth graders work in groups to solve problems posed by the teacher. Then, each group is given...

Collaborative learners will see the geometric addition of functions by graphing the sum of two graphed curves on the same coordinate plane. This task then naturally flows into giving learners the algebraic representation of the curves...

First, middle school mathematicians read phrases and translate them into a variable expression. Then, they make statements that explain expressions. On a second page, they combine variables to simplify expressions, and then they...

Learners investigate where in their everyday life math is used. In this algebra lesson, students describe linear transformation as it relates to business and sales. They relate area and perimeter to their yard or garden, as well as...
