Think critically — and linearly by applying linear equations to solve real-world problems. Young mathematicians write equations to model the profit on popcorn and cotton candy at a carnival and solve problems using these equations.

In this surface area and volume worksheet, students solve 4 short answer and multiple choice problems.  Students find the volume and surface area of cylinders and prisms.

Using the TI-89 calculator, students explore the statistical, graphical and symbolic capabilities of the TI-89.  Students investigate topics such as solving systems of equations, finding inverse functions, summations, parametrics...

Tenth graders study graphing exponential functions. In this transformations instructional activity, 10th graders apply inquiry to determine how changes to a parent function affect its graph. Students analyze transformed graphs and...

Students are introduced to plotting functions on the Cartesian coordinate plane seen several categories of functions, including lines and parabolas

Need more detail in showing your class how to solve two-step equations and proportions? This lesson plan outlines the steps young mathematicians need to solve simple equations and check their results. 

High schoolers use an interactive website or cd rom to graph equations. The lesson plan is not very clearly written. The use of the website is essential or the educational software that can be purchased from the Prentice Hall publisher.

Students, while using a graphing calculator, graph systems of conic sections as well as identify their solutions. They complete various word problems dealing with conic sections with their calculators. In addition, students sketch graphs...

In this rational exponents instructional activity, students solve ten multiple choice and two free response math regents exam questions.  The solutions are provided.

Students use problem solving skills to create various models of tricubes, tetracubes, and pentacubes. They classify the cubes into various groupings and identify them as mirror images, regular arrangements, and irregular arrangements....

Students explore the concept of patterns. In this patterns lesson, students use applets to manipulate tessellations. Students predict the next number in a sequence by recognizing patterns.

Students draw conclusions and make conjectures given a specific scenario. In this geometry lesson, students model real life scenarios using properties of triangles. They model number facts and explain why the outcome is what it is.

Students use shapes and manipulatives to demonstrate patterns. In this patterns lesson plan, students also break up patterns to identify a pattern unit.

Eighth graders complete problems where they use the definition of exponents to expand the squaring function of natural numbers. In this squaring natural numbers lesson plan, 8th graders also identify squares form 0 - 12 and complete a...

Pupils collect and Analyze data. In this statistics lesson, students identify the line of best fit of the graph. They classify lines as having positive, negative and no correlation.

Learners gain practice reading coordinates and plotting points by participating in the Coordinates! Game. They demonstrate and test their skills with graph paper and the Maze Game.

Students use an ancient math game to establish the context for solving problems by investigating them in a systematic and mathematical way. They also need to have the ability to solve various types of equations.

In this radical equations worksheet, students complete short answer questions about radical equations. Students answer 7 questions and look at many examples.

Fifth graders have the opportunity to gather information themselves on Fibonacci and on the occurrence of Fibonacci numbers in nature. They divide up into groups of 2 to 4 to research.

Eighth graders evaluate statistical equations. They examine data from archaeologists at Jamestown, complete statistical equations using the sets of data, and graph the results.

Pupils construct models of various tricubes, tetracubes, and pentacubes that are possible, classify n-cubes into different groupings, and draw these figures on isometric dot paper giving true perspective to what they visualize.

Learners use a game to establish the context of solving problems in a systematic and mathematical fashion. They also solve various types of equations to find reasonable solutions.

Sixth graders apply problem solving strategies to work with a real life situation in which they need to determine the area. They determine the area of chicken runs that are rectangular in shape when give a partial perimeter.

Students are introduced to mixed expressions and complex fractions. They work through several problems with the instructor and then complete a worksheet.
