In this algebra worksheet, 11th graders solve logarithmic problems using the properties of logs. They condense and expand logs using the correct properties. There are 78 problems with an answer key.

These four lesson plans build algebra skills for working with numbers in exponential form and for examining triangles. Be aware that in the text, scientific notation is referred to as index notation and the laws of exponents as the laws...

Here you will find a model of a linear relationship between two quantities, the water depth of a channel and the distance across the channel at water level. The cross section of the channel is the shape of an isosceles trapezoid. The...

This comprehensive resource applies simultaneous equations to a real-life problem. Though the commentary starts with a graph, some home consumers may choose to begin with a table. A graph does aid learners to visualize the shift of one...

According to the resource graph, which costs more: peaches or plums? Algebra learners compare two proportional relationships and then throw in a banana. Leaving out the scale helps students become intuitive about graphing. 

Algebra learners can always relate to ice cream. In this case, a carton of ice cream has been at room temperature for t minutes. Given an expression for the temperature of the ice cream, it is up to your number crunchers to...

This model of the amount of anibiotics in a person's system is represented abstractly by a finite geometric series. Learners translate this real-life situation into algebraic form and then extend their knowlege by answering questions...

Your Algebra learners will explore what equations are functions or not functions and how to alter the domain to produce a possibility for the relations being a function with a limitted domain.

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...

Sixth graders practice translating verbal expressions into algebraic expressions. In this introductory algebra lesson, 6th graders practice writing written/verbal sentences into algebraic expressions and vice versa. Students also review...

Sixth graders analyze expressions and equations. In this algebra lesson, 6th graders write algebraic sentences and solve for an unknown in a one-step equation. This lesson uses the formulas for the perimeter of a square and rectangle as...

Learners solve word problems using a spreadsheet, strategies, and algebraic variables. They disuss the given problem, which can be printed, write the unknowns, and employ the strategies into a spreadsheet. Students then use Microsoft...

Ninth graders apply basic algebra concepts to equations using cognitive, affective, and kinesthetic components. They create their own word problem, perform the story problem using a dramatic presentation, and present the problem to the...

Fourth graders determine a way to place numbers in the nine circles that are arranged in a triangular pattern so that each side has an equal sum. They use each number once and practice adding single digit numbers.

Students change verbal expressions to algebraic equations. They practice the vocabulary of algebraic equations.

Students visualize polynomials using algebra tiles.

Students determine how the weights of 7 objects on a seesaw can vary and still be in balance. They also write equations in algebraic terms, how to change 3 variables in an equation expressed in algebraic terms to obtain the correct...

Third graders investigate numerical and geometric patterns and express them in words or numbers.  In this algebraic reasoning lesson, 3rd graders analyze the structure of the pattern and how it changes or grows, organize information...

Fifth graders utilize input/output tables to help them solve algebraic equations. They incorporate patterns, number sequences and relations to represent and analyze mathematical problems and number relationships using algebraic symbols.

Ninth graders design a safe passage through a 2-D obstacle. In this geometric math instructional activity, 9th graders engage in a hands on activity to better understand the concept of geometric and algebraic perpendicularity. Students...

Sixth graders practice solving math problems by utilizing a data table. In this number sense lesson, 6th graders create a table using the numerical information about a fictitious farm's inventory. Students complete the empty segments by...

Students search for and generalize an algebraic pattern. They make and analyze a coordinate graph.

Students examine numbers and try to find a pattern in their relationship. They write an algebraic expression for the nth term.

Second graders explore and develop algebraic formulas based on their own ages as the known variable. This is a clever, and simple, way to introduce the concept of algebra to young students.
