Using the provided tracing number worksheet, a pair of kindergartners will practice their adding skills. Player A will roll two die, add the sum, and then trace the sum on the worksheet. Player B will take a turn and do the same. The...

Scholars will solve problems, create patterns, and write algebraic expressions. In addition, they will learn how to represent a number with a variable.

Learners analyze the difference between the slope intercept and standard forms of a line in this task. Given two general points using letters they explore linear functions and linear equations.

Students solve systems of equations. In this algebra instructional activity, students graph lines and identify the point of intersection. They identify the function to see if it is a function.

Expand on learners' understanding of quadratic-linear systems. Building on the graphic understanding developed in the previous lesson, pupils learn algebraic methods of solving the systems. 

How do you summarize data that cannot be averaged? Using an exploratory method, learners complete a two-way frequency table on super powers. The subject matter builds upon 8th grade knowledge of two-way tables. 

Students solve problems using PEMDAS. In this algebraic equations lesson, students evaluate expressions using real number properties. They play "Math Jeopardy" to reinforce the order of operations.

Who says math is boring? Turn dry concepts like properties and vocabulary into an interesting lesson! Examine the commutative and associative properties of addition and multiplication using geometric reinforcement. Through collaboration,...

Middle schoolers will read word problems, create questions, and come up with solutions. They are taught to use previous knowledge combined with current content to solve problems logically and algebraically.

Challenge your students' algebra skills with this activity, which presents students with several types of problem sets, including solving inequalities, graphing, word problems, and a set of algebra problems that may or may not require...

For this algebra review worksheet, high schoolers solve 100 open-ended and multiple choice problems.  Students factor, simplify, graph, and solve inequalities, expressions, and equations.

Students solve problems with slopes. In this algebra lesson plan, students identify the slope of a line and relate it to the rate of change.  They graph their lines on the TI and observe changes in the lines.

Find that slope! This video does an excellent job of demonstrating how to use the slope formula to find the slope of a line using two points. The instructor first reviews the definition of slope of a line, then works three problems using...

Your learners can approach this task algebraically, geometrically, or both. They analyze the building of a linear function given two points and expand the concrete approach to the abstract when they are asked to find the general form of...

Algebra learners explore, analyze and build an exponential equation given its form and a specific point that exists on the function in this task. The last question asks learners to apply their ideas to an exponential equation given two...

Demonstrate linear and quadratic functions through contextual modeling. Young mathematicians explore both types of functions by analyzing their key features. They then relate these key features to the contextual relationship the function...

Your algebra learners explore linear functions concretely using tables of values in a collaborative task. The idea that linear function values change by equal differences over equal intervals, is emphasized. The slope and...

Creative problem solving is fun and helps kids conceptualize content. They use grid paper, manilla paper, and markers to cut, draw, and show given double-digit numbers as many ways as they can.

Your algebra learners will build an exponential equation given a graph with two specific points labeled. 

Your algebra learners write linear, exponential, and quadratic equations containing the same two graph points in this collaborative task.

After completing an assessment task where they express numbers as the difference of squares (i.e., 9 = 5^2 – 4^2), class members note any patterns that they see in the problems.

Trying to find a linear transformation is like finding a needle in a haystack. The second lesson in the series of 32 continues to explore the concept of linearity started in the first lesson. The class explores trigonometric, rational,...

Sixth graders work with mathematical expressions by interpreting, analyzing and problem solving with them. In this two step algebraic problem solving lesson, 6th graders use algebra tiles to solve equations.

Learners factor a difference of two squares.  In this factoring a difference of two squares lesson plan, students use manipulates cut from a piece of paper to illustrate the difference of two squares.  Learners illustrate the...
