Ready to study inequalities with your class? Use this activity to solve multi-step inequalities and graph the solutions. The document would be great to use as a study guide as you present the material, or could easily be modified and...

With so many math standards to fit into a school year, it can be difficult keeping track of what you have and have not covered. This collection of Common Core checklists allows you to maintain a running record of when each...

Sixth graders connect numerical expressions to geometric area. They first complete an assessment task requiring them to identify area models for numerical expressions. Learners then participate in an activity to match area models to...

Harness the power of algebra to solve problems. Young mathematicians learn to work out multi-step problems by applying algebraic techniques, such as solving equations and proportions. They use tape diagrams to model the problem to finish...

There's more than one way to solve an equation — three, actually. Scholars learn how to solve simple linear equations in one variable using three different methods, which include using balance scales, using decomposition (e.g., turning...

Use the graphs of the trigonometric functions to set the stage to inverse functions. The lesson reviews the graphs of the basic trigonometric functions and their transformations. Pupils use their knowledge of graphing functions to model...

Perform operations to add, subtract, multiply and divide matrices. Then solve problems with vectors using matrices. A three day lesson: Matrix Madness, Mystical Matrices, and Decode the Encode. The last lesson has prizes that the class...

Oh that intercept! Budding algebra masters solve linear equations from standard to intercept form. They identify the slope and y-intercept to help graph the lines, an then create coordinate pairs using a table of values. Great TI tips...

Learners add, subtract, and multiply radical expressions. The worksheet includes like and unlike radicands. Use as a study guide during a lesson or for skills practice.

Learners investigate the slope of a cubic function. They find the tangent line of the cubic function at point P, and discuss the relationship between point P and point Q, the point the tangent line intersects the cubic function. ...

Students explore pi. In this circle measurement lesson, students define and identify radius, diameter, circumference, and perimeter. Students work in groups to measure several plastic lids and record their findings. Students compare the...

Students solve negative exponential functions. In this algebra lesson, students define the properties for rewriting functions with negative and zero exponents. They use a robot to create a visual of what is happening to the negative...

Pupils analyze graphs for specific properties. In this algebra lesson plan, students solve equations and graph using the TI calculator. They find the different changes that occur in each graph,including maximum and minimum.

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...

Young mathematicians first graph a series of quadratic equations, and then investigate how various parts of the equation change the graph of the function in a predictable way.

Show your class how people calculated complex math problems in the old days. Scholars take a trip back to the days without calculators in the 15th installment of a 35-part module. They use logarithms to determine products of numbers and...

Fourth graders complete a role playing activity to build understanding of number concepts. They use Algebraic Closure throughout six operations to better comprehend and review basic number theory. They utilize a worksheet imbedded in...

Students factor polynomials and use long division t solve problems. In this algebra lesson, students find the zeros of polynomials by synthetic and long division. They perform operation using complex numbers.

For this geometry worksheet, students answer questions about a parallelogram using the properties of quadrilaterals. They use algebra to solve for the missing sides and angles. There are 19 questions.

Students investigate the concentration level of solutions. In this math/science lesson, students identify three different ionic compounds. They predict the conductivity of each using their collected data.

Students investigate and apply properties of math. In this algebra and physics lesson, students define important vocabulary words to create a basic understanding of keywords. They perform experiments using concepts of electricity and math.
