This comprehensive lesson plan reviews solving and graphing quadratic functions and functions of higher degree.  Using the vertex form of a quadratic functions, one finds the vertex, minimum or maximum, and axis of symmetry. A few...

Students investigate the weather in different places in the world. In this algebra lesson plan, students use technology to gain an understanding of how to study integers. They add and subtract integers on a number line.

Have your class practice solving algebraic equations, finding the square root of a number, and more. This activity allows learners to practice key skills in a motivating way.

Here is a resource that helps your algebra learners understand the connection between the graph of two lines, the equations of lines, and the solutions and intersecting points of lines. It would make a great assessment question, but can...

A mail truck travels the same amount of miles per day. It will be up to your algebra learners to find an equation for this mailman’s truck. One needs a good understanding of rate of change and the initial value for this model. The...

Submerge yourself in the study of slope. Scholars investigate a situation involving slope and the rate of change of a submarine. An additional example further explores the concept of slope by changing one of the conditions of the submarine.

Order of operations is foundational for the future study of algebra. With ample time for instruction and independent practice these activities will help your class improve their understanding of this important concept. Includes the...

Pupils are introduced to the concept of scatter plots after reviewing the various types of graphs. In groups, they analyze the type of information one can receive from a scatter plot and identify the relationship between the x and y...

In this algebra worksheet, learners factor out common factors of polynomials. Once the common factors are out, students factor trinomial expressions into the product of two binomials when possible.

In this algebra worksheet, students factor twelve trinomial expressions into a binomial multiplication expression. In four of the problems, they must first factor out the common elements from the three terms.

In this algebra worksheet, students factor expressions into the product of two binomials. Four of the problems involve factoring perfect square trinomials. The remaining eight problems require students to factor problems that are the...

In this algebra worksheet, students solve 7 given formulas for a specified variable. Each formula is written as an equation, and students isolate one of the variables as the solution to the problem.

In this algebra worksheet, students multiply 4 radical expressions. They simplify 6 expressions by factoring out perfect squares. Students combine multiplication and simplification on three problems.

In this algebra worksheet, students add 5 expressions with radical signs. In 6 problems, students multiply with radicals over parenthesis. The final 4 problems require students to rationalize the denominator and divide.

Algebra II classes solve problems relating to piecewise functions, step functions, and decomposition/composition of functions. They utilize links to work with real world examples. Mr. Pleacher has added humor to the lesson by including...

How do grown ups do it? Teach your upper graders the ins and outs of personal finance by having them use their algebra skills to balance a checkbook. They examine the financial side of math, set up a checking account, and balance their...

Have your class learn about buoyancy using this simple lesson. First, they bring in condiment packets and see what happens when they place it in a glass of water. Then, they use one of the packets to illustrate the concept of a Cartesian...

Ask your algebra learners to write an equation that has unit constraints. This commentary talks about the constraints, but does not show them in the equation. It is important that your mathematicians understand that the units apply to...

In this college algebra worksheet, students view graphs of two functions. They are given a values chart. Students graph the result of adding the two functions.

In this algebra worksheet, young scholars find the common denominator for 8 problems so they can solve for x. The rational equations include binomial expressions as denominators for 5 of the problems.

In this algebra worksheet, learners simplify 14 complex radical fractions. They find the square roots for both the denominator and numerator, dividing out any factors that are the same to completely simplify the fraction. For the final 7...

Algebra learners solve various rational equations. These start out fairly basic and get a little more complex. 

Young algebraic thinkers find the solutions to 20 rational expressions using addition and subtraction. They pay close attention to following the Order of Operations!

Students factor polynomial equations. In this algebra lesson, students apply the zero product property to factor quadratic equations. They solve real life scenarios by apply the concepts of parabolas.
