Review basic algebraic rules of addition of integers. Then have the class define a variable and explore methods of solving equations with one variable. They observe solving expressions using inverse operations and simplifying solutions....

There are three parts to this instructional activity on integers. In the first, learners explore positive and negative numbers on an actual painter's tape number line and by playing a "Hot Seat" game. In part two, they view a BrainPop...

Students solve linear inequalities. In this algebra lesson, students rewrite inequalities using one and two step equations. They graph their findings and identify the slope and solution of the line.

Students use a variety of strategies to figure out the cost of baseball tickets. They use a combination chart, notebook notation, etc. to find the cost of their family to attend a Cardinal's game in St. Louis.

Sixth graders perform the Order of Operations. Given various story problems, groups of students solve equations requiring division, multiplication, parenthesis, exponents and other mathematical processes. They discuss the order of...

Students relate what they know about boundaries on sports courts to explore range of space. For this domain and range lesson, students identify numbers needed to calculate ranges and use the problem solving strategy of making a table.

Young scholars identify the radius and diameter of a circle. In this geometry activity, students calculate the volume and area of a cylinder and circle. They relate the circumference of a circle to Pi.

Students work in teams creating and posing math rules and trying to guess them using a formula controlled worksheet they create with Excel. Student pairs take turns to see who can crack the other's code the fastest.
