This activity presents a game played by two learners whose solution is an exercise in creating and analyzing with algebraic inequalities. 

Develop conceptual knowledge of a quadratic equation and its solutions in your classes. The third algebra lesson in a series of four introduces learners to solving quadratic equations slowly. The first activity explores the zero product...

Linear or not linear — that is the question. The lesson plan has class members translate descriptions into algebraic expressions. They take the written expressions and determine whether they are linear or nonlinear based upon the...

Explain algebraic relationships through an understanding of area and perimeter. Continuing concepts built in the third instructional activity of the series, the fourth installment of 28 asks learners to identify common expressions...

In the eighth activity in a series of 28, math scholars justify the steps of solving algebraic equations. They solve linear equations through an analysis of equality properties, write each equation from a problem situation, and then...

When did letters become the same as numbers? Scholars learn about substituting numbers for letters to evaluate algebraic expressions in the seventh part in a series of 36. The lesson focuses on expressions related to geometry, such as...

Factor in an informative resource when teaching about factoring. The 11th lesson in a 36-part module shows pupils how to factor algebraic expressions by applying the distributive property. Some of the problems involve expressions with...

Those key operation words sure come in handy. Groups continue their work with converting between different notations for algebraic expressions. They work in stations to write the symbolic form for given verbal phrases. This is the 17th...

Visualize the nth roots of unity. Pupils calculate the nth roots of unity and find all n roots. Learners plot the solutions in the complex plane and observe that they are the vertices of a regular n-gon inscribed in the unit circle....

Students complete an open book Algebra II test. In groups, with one student designated as the leader, students complete a practice exam. They exchange answer sheets and grade their papers. Students take the papers home and use them to...

Learners complete algebraic equations. They learn the algebraic order of operations and the acronym, PEMDAS, to help them remember the correct order of operations. Pupils complete algebraic equations using the order of operations.

Pupils use the children's story of The Tortoise And The Hare in order to investigate the graphing of equations. The story is converted to an algebraic word problem for them to solve. Students investigate the relationships of data and how...

Young mathematicians solve arithmetic and simple algebraic equations using properties of real numbers, equality, and inequality. Justifying the procedures is their next task. They solve a problem involving linear inequality and justify...

High schoolers factor polynomials and linear functions and apply concepts of the fundamental theorem of algebra to solve problems. They graph their solutions and analyze the graph.

Some lessons feature videos, some interactive practice problems, and some have notes and activities. This comprehensive look at factoring and solving polynomial equations using the zero product principle has all of this and more. Though...

Students learn that speed is a function of time and distance, a quadratic equation can be used to figure out the path of fireworks, a photographer can use Algebra to figure out how many rolls he can afford if he needs twice as much of...

Students convert between two units as they calculate the temperature. In this algebra lesson, students collect data on seasonal climate and create a graph. They make conjectures based on their data collection.

First graders explore patterns. They look for patterns in number problems and use algebra as a means of solving general problems. Students devise a strategy to solve the number problem.

Students explore adding and subtracting positive numbers. Students discuss the use of algebra in our daily lives. They examine the algebraic equations and observe their solutions. Students work on the board and at their desks to solve...

Students use algebra tiles to identify the binomial factors and the graphing calculator to verify the result. In addition, they will identify the x-intercepts and y-intercepts of each trinomial function and explore relationships between...

Pupils create their plays to demonstrate concepts from Algebra I. They collaborate in small groups to add music and dancing to their plays. They analyze the suggestions from the previous class as they revise their plays.

Pupils read real world problems, determine the variables, and set up the function using algebraic statements. After entering data into the graphing calculator, they display information in the form of graphs and scatter plots. Students...

Students revise their Algebra plays. They collaborate in small groups to work on different aspects of the play and report to the class. They make modifications to their plans and review the Musical Rubric to incorporate the concepts...

Students rewrite word problems using the correct symbols. In this algebra instructional activity, students simplify algebraic expressions and use the correct representation of the unknown. They solve equations using one and two steps...
