Students solve area problems.  In this area, circumference, and perimeter lesson plan, students solve area and perimeter problems using standard and metric units of measure.  They identify the best customary unit of measure for...

Students define patterns, relation and function. In this algebra lesson, students find the slope of a line and write equations of line. They model the slope using real life scenarios.

Matrices help solve systems of equations in chemistry, computer graphics, circuitry, probability, and more. The second instructional activity in a seven-part series focuses on using matrices to balance chemical equations. Pupils rely on...

Students define accuracy and precision, and differentiate between the two terms, apply the concepts of accuracy and precision to a given situation and correctly apply the concept of significant figures to measurement and mathematical...

Students practice graphing compound inequalities. They draw a Venn Diagram on two different sports visualizing that their is a middle section on commonality among the two sports groups and then relate that concept to compound inequalities.

Eighth graders identify and compare acute, right, obtuse, and straight angles. They draw two angles on pieces of construction paper so they can accurately know what it looks like. Students hang the drawings on the wall. They are asked...

Develop a more precise definition of similar. The lesson begins with an informal definition of similar figures and develops the need to be more precise. The class learns about dilations and uses that knowledge to arrive at a...

Pupils solve systems of 2-by-2 linear equations using tables, graphs and substitution. In small groups, classmates work together to discover strategies for solving equations. They use a calculator to graphically represent their answers.

Students identify the vertex and intercepts of a parabola. For this algebra lesson, students graph parabolas and factor quadratic equations. They perform transformation on the parabolas.

Students perform order of operation using integers. In this algebra lesson, students apply properties of integers as they add, subtract, multiply and divide integers. They work in groups to complete a RAFT assignment.

Students drill on math patterns, functions and Algebra. They construct and use tables to solve problems associated with mathematical relationships and identify a rule/equation. Students comprehend input/output to determine the...

Wow! Put on that thinking cap and solve multi-step equations. To solve equations, learners review the use of the distributive property and combining like terms. This three-day lesson comes with about 20 pages of worksheets, warm-ups,...

Learners add and subtract integers. In this algebra lesson, students add, subtract, multiply and divide integers. They apply the properties of numbers as they solve equations.

Tenth graders have been introduced to the concepts of translation, reflection, and rotation, and have practiced translating, reflecting, and rotating two-dimensional objects on the coordinate plane.
