Student study addition properties. In this addition properties lesson, students use multiple methods to solve various types of problems. Students illustrate and describe in various ways the Commutative Property of Addition. Students...

Use this video to show your learners an example of how to translate word phrases into an equation to solve a real-world problem. The presenter begins with a review of how to use cross products to solve a proportion, including how to do...

Middle and high schoolers investigate how to solve inequalities. The lesson plan has a good guide for taking pupils through a direct instruction of the concept. You can use counting tiles in order to help kinesthetic learners.

Graph inequalities and discuss the difference in their slopes. Learners observe rate of change as they compare linear, quadratic, and cubic functions.

In this asymptote worksheet, students compute limits, graph vertical asymptotes, and find the slope of the secant line. This one-page worksheet contains six multi-step worksheets.

In this limit of slopes worksheet, students compute the limit of slopes, find the slope of the secant line, and determine the slope of the tangent line. This one-page worksheet contains five multi-step problems.

Students participate in a lesson plan that covers the concepts of solving equations and inequalities. To master the concept they must demonstrate visually and verbally how both sides of an equation must be balanced. They construct a...

In this mass of the Moon worksheet, students use the lunar orbit and the orbit period to determine the mass of the Moon. They solve 4 problems including finding the mass of the Moon, determining the ratio of the Moon's mass to the...

Young scholars subtract monomials and polynomials by combining like terms. In this advanced subtraction lesson, students define the rules and properties for subtraction of polynomials. They apply the rules for addition to help with the...

Students are introduced to the concept of variables and their uses. In groups, they are given a code in which they must find the value of the missing words. To end the lesson, they find the value of words over ten letters long and their...

Sixth graders work through a two-step equation with their teacher. After reviewing one-step equations, they complete a worksheet using tiles and colored pencils to complete two-step equations. To end the lesson, they write out the step...

Students complete a unit of lessons on computing area and volume. They play a Jeopardy game of basic area formulas, calculate surface area of shapes, develop a Powerpoint presentation, and conduct a simulation of finding the surface area...

Young scholars explore the concept of adding integers.  In this adding integers lesson, students simulate the battle of the 300 spartans at Thermopylae.  Young scholars use colored game pieces to represent positive and negative...

Young scholars solve right triangles using the Pythagorean Theorem.  In this solving right triangles using the Pythagorean Theorem lesson, students find the missing side of a right triangle.  Young scholars find the hypotenuse...

Eleventh graders study how to combine like vector's that are matrices. In this matrix operations worksheet, 11th graders combine matrices linearly and define the matrix-matrix product and its properties. Students also study matrix...

Learners investigate the concepts that are related to finance and how it is used in the world. They take part in activities that are focused around the use of a spreadsheet while using a T-chart to simulate a ledger of credits and debits.

Seventh graders develop an examineing of absolute value through real world situations. They develop an examineing of when absolute value can be used in a given situation.

Students explore the concept of solving two-step equations. In this solving two-step equations lesson plan, students watch a short video about solving equations. Students view a PowerPoint presentation about solving two-step equations....

This Algebra lesson focuses on writing algebraic expressions to represent real-world problems, using the properties of numbers to simplify expressions, and evaluating equations by isolating the variable.

Students will practice simplifying algebraic expressions using properties: identity, commutative, associative, and distributive. It provides downloadable PDF resources to go along with the lesson as well as an assessment plan.

Standard 5.OA.2 asks students to "Write simple expressions that record calculations with numbers, and interpret numerical expressions without evaluating them." This task asks students to exercise both of these complementary skills,...
