Provide a Hooke for a lesson on elasticity with an activity that has groups investigate a set of springs. They use a set procedure to collect data to calculate the spring constant for each spring using Hooke's Law. The groups...

Lesson 16 in the series of 28 is a mid-module assessment. Learners simplify expressions, write and solve equations, and write and solve inequalities. Most questions begin as word problems adding a critical thinking component to the...

Collaboration is the key for this equation-solving lesson. Learners solve a multi-step linear equation that requires using the distributive property. Within collaborative groups, scholars discuss multiple methods and troubleshoot mistakes.

Use texts and dances to teach inequalities and equations. A sixth-grade unit covers using variables in equations and inequalities to solve problems. Learners show what they know at the end of the unit using two performance tasks, one...

Students 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.

This all-encompassing lesson plan immerses your math class in the world of algebraic expressions. Written details are provided to guide you in guiding them to identify the parts of an expression and simplify them. Sample problems are...

Learners translate between verbal and algebraic expressions. After folding paper into four sections (multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction), students list code words under the appropriate section title. Next, they...

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,...
