Bring balance to your lesson plans with an activity that asks individuals to solve one-step linear equations with inverse operations. Balance scales help learners understand the concept of isolating the variable.

Hammer away at building different types of functions. An engaging lesson builds on learners' knowledge of domain and range to create an understanding of composite functions. Young scholars learn to write composite functions...

Amaze your classes with the ability to find side lengths of triangles immediately — they'll all want to know your trick! Learners use the Pythagorean Theorem and special right triangle relationships to find missing side lengths.

Pupils use visual models, numeric methods, and equations to solve percent problems. To complete the second installment of 20, they find the part given the percent and the whole, find the percent given the part and the whole, and find the...

For this math worksheet, students solve five problems, identifying each property as it is used. They identify the used property in 9 problems.

Students fit quadratic models to windsail designs.  In this fitting quadratic models to windsail designs lesson, students compare quadratic models of sails with different measurements and mast size.  Students vary the a-value...

Pupils review information about how to multiply polynomials and then work in pairs to complete a worksheet. They use graphing calculations to help them solve their math problems.

Students learn about the Cartesian coordinate plane, understand the four quadrants of the Cartesian coordinate plane, and plot points on the plane. Students read coordinates for a point from a graph and give the ratio of rise over run...

Young scholars practice plotting functions on the Cartesian coordinate plane, see several categories of functions, including lines and parabolas, and read a graph, answering questions about the situation described by the graph

Students plot functions on the Cartesian coordinate plane. They explore lines and parabolas. Students analyze graphs and answer questions about the information presented on the graph using an online program.

Learners explore the Cartesian coordinate plane and plot points on the graph. They interpret coordinates for a point from the graph and give the ratio of rise over run for slope.

Students are introduced to the concept of linear functions. Using new terminology, they describe linear functions in sentences and in data tables. Using the internet, they calculate and record answers to problems which are discussed...

Young scholars use an ancient math game to establish the context for solving problems by investigating them in a systematic and mathematical way. They also need to have the ability to solve various types of equations.

Students are introduced to the basic ideas needed for understanding linear functions.

Young scholars solve and graph inequalities involving absolute value. They discuss and identify the basic properties of inequalities, and solve basic examples.

Students are introduced to the notion of a complex number and function iteration in order to motivate the discussion of Julia sets and the Mandelbrot set.

Students study Pascal's triangle. They construct their own version of Pascal's triangle, and relate some of the uses for it. While working through this process, students practice their integer multiplication and division skills.

Students compare different aspects of investing money from traditional savings accounts to money market accounts. They research investment accounts at local banks and compare them.

Pupils determine the vertex, y-intercept and direction of a parabola and write an explanation of how to graph a parabola. They collect and graph data using a calculator.

Young scholars 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...

Young scholars explore the concept of probability.  In this probability lesson, students use area to determine probability.  Young scholars use charts and spinners to help determine the probability of events such as flipping a...

Students use the Internet to answer lab questions about fractals, and then construct fractals using the initial stage and iteration rule. They complete tables and generate rules for the "nth" term and create their own fractals.

Students perform basic operations in modular (clock) arithmetic. Students encode and decode messages using shift and affine ciphers. Students apply their multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction skills.

Students participate in a lecture about linear inequalities. Individually, they graph different inequalities and describe its solution. They participate in a demonstration in which they solve a system of inequalities and complete a...
