Students explore the concept of Chinese contributions in mathematics. In this Chinese contributions in mathematics lesson, students research Chinese achievements in mathematics. Students solve 3x3 systems of equations using the method...

Eighth graders investigate linear equations.  In this Algebra I lesson, 8th graders explore the effects that manipulating a linear equation has on the graph of the function through the use of a java applet.

Twelfth graders graph ordered pairs on a coordinate plane.

Ninth graders study the correct way to solve equations using the order of operations. They apply a mnemonic device to remember the proper order.

In this eighth grade worksheet, 8th graders assess their knowledge of the major topics of algebra and geometry covered in eighth grade.   The lesson contains twelve questions and a mathematics reference sheet.

Adjust this lesson to fit either beginning or more advanced learners. Build a scatter plot, determine appropriate model (linear, quadratic, exponential), and then extend to evaluate the model with residuals. This problem uses real-world...

Students identify inverse variations. In this inverse variation lesson, students explore graphs and identify the inverse variation. They write equations for the inverse variation. Students compare and contrast the inverse variation...

Learners are introduced to the elimination method in Algebra. As a class, they solve two linear equations with two unknowns using this new method. They discuss the positive and negative aspects of using this method to solve problems. ...

Students graph systems of linear inequalities. For this linear programming and profit lesson, students explore linear programming problems. They graph a feasible region in a linear programming problem and identify the profit lines. ...

Young scholars participate in an activity to simulate direct variation. In this oil spills on land lesson plan, students participate in a simulation using toilet paper and vegetable oil to explore the characteristics of direct...

Students calculate the distance between two points using the distance formula. In this geometry lesson, students derive the distance formula using the Pythagorean Theorem.

Students solve problems with ratios and proportions. In this algebra lesson,students apply the concept of ratios and proportions to the real world.

Young scholars compute surface area and volume of prisms. In this surface area lesson, students find the surface area and volume of rectangular and triangular prisms. Independently, young scholars use their computers to determine the...

Students complete tasks. In this Seven Intelligences lesson, students complete a variety of activities that are all based on the seven different intelligences humans are supposed to possess based on Dr. Gardener's theory. They work in...

Second graders engage in a lesson which focuses on adding two-digit numbers and the regrouping process. They identify when the regrouping process is necessary and make appropriate "trades" to complete an addition problem.

Students study exponential decay and its application to radiocarbon dating. In this exponential decay lesson, students use candy to model the time it takes for something to decay. Students also graph the data they collect and...

In this geometry worksheet, students answer questions about geometric and arithmetic sequences. This lesson is an online interactive lesson.

Students explore the relationship between mass, volume and density. They use model boats to discover how changing mass and volume affect density. This is a very engaging lesson plan which provides great demonstrations and hands-on...

Sixth graders listen to "Sixteen Tons" by Tennessee Ernie Ford and discuss what it means to owe one's soul to a store. In this mathematics lesson plan, 6th graders determine what a miner's income was minus his expenses graphing findings...

Students calculate the slope of a line. In this slope instructional activity, students use a graph, an equation or two points to help them calculate the slope of a line. They differentiate between a slope of zero and an undefined slope.

Learners graph and solve quadratic equations. In this functions lesson, students analyze a quadratic equation using three points on a curve to define the graph of a quadratic function. They find the vertex and intercepts of the graph.

Students define and differentiate between experimental and theoretical probability. In this statistic lesson, students play the game "Monty Hall" and use probability to come up with the best strategies to play the game.

Students solve the area for parallelograms,squares, rectangles, trapezoids, and triangles. In this geometry lesson, students compare and contrast two dimensional shapes and apply their properties to solving real life scenarios. This is a...

Students calculate ratio and proportion. In this unit rates lesson, students estimate using proportions and find their errors in doing so. They calculate unit rates and define the concept of unit rates.
