Party planners need algebra too! Here, pupils decide the perfect size of a cake based on available ingredients. They use the concepts of area and perimeter to make their conclusions.

Many problems in life have more than one possible solution, and the same is true for advanced mathematics. Scholars solve seven problems that all have at least two solutions. Then three higher-level thinking questions challenge them to...

In this algebra worksheet, students simplify rational expressions using common denominators. There are 50 questions requiring factoring and grouping, with an answer key.

Evaluating and analyzing exponential functions will help your archaeologists find the amount of Carbon 14 remaining in a plant in this real-life task centered on carbon dating. Learners will also be introduced to the concept of half-life.

Your algebra learners will discover how quickly an exponential function value grows compared to a linear function's value. Making a table of values helps in this comparison, set in the context of making a wage for raking leaves.

A 27-page packet full of math games and activities builds on algebra, measurement, geometry, fractional, and graphing skills. Young mathematicians participate in math games collaboratively, promoting teamwork and skills practice.

Kimi and Jordan have taken summer jobs to supplement their weekly allowances. Kimi earns more per hour than Jordan, but Jordan's weekly allowance is greater. This activity asks students to determine how the incomes of the two workers...

Consider complex numbers, roots, and quadratic equations. Use the discriminate as a way to determine the nature of a quadratic's roots. Then discuss the similarities and differences between quadratics with two, one, or no real roots....

In this Algebra II/college level instructional activity, students use long and synthetic division to divide polynomials and use the Factor Theorem to show that a given polynomial is a factor of a polynomial function.  The two page...

Students model quadratic and linear equations. In this algebra lesson, students solve word problems using equations. They create scatter plots and make predictions using correlations.

Youngsters become flexible problem solvers with this challenging lesson. If there are 24 square tables in a restaurant, how many customers can be seated at one time? They can use manipulatives or draw pictures to help them find the...

From start to finish this skills practice resource provides a way for individuals to explore the standard form equation of a line. Begin with a warm-up, work through the problems, and then discover the relationship between the...

Positive or negative, zero or no solution, are all possibilities for the solution of a linear equation. Here the resource gives examples of linear equations in one variable and their type of solutions. The resource comes with commentary...

This exercise is an opportunity for algebra learners to understand the connection between the slope of a line and points found on the line. Use similar triangles to explain why slope m is the same between any two points. Discuss with the...

Introduce logarithmic functions and their properties with a straightforward lesson plan. It provides an introduction to new material, examples, and practice problems. The variety of problem types keeps learners engaged while...

Buying a new sofa? Learn how to use the Pythagorean Theorem, as well as algebra and graphing techniques, to determine whether the sofa will fit around a corner (which I'm sure you'll agree is a very important consideration!).

Rewriting expressions in different forms is an essential algebra skill. Support the development of this skill by using a task that asks scholars to begin with a linear, quadratic, and rational expression and then manipulate...

Investigate the growth rates of alien animals. Pupils study fictional animals from another planet to determine how much they grow per year. The investigators plot the growth of their animals over a period of time and then compare...

These four lesson plans build algebra skills for working with numbers in exponential form and for examining triangles. Be aware that in the text, scientific notation is referred to as index notation and the laws of exponents as the laws...

Experiment with mass and density as scholars figure out what makes things float or sink. First, they watch a podcast introducing these concepts. Be sure to use the comprehension question to test their understanding. Young scientists...

Young scholars translate functional relationships into equations to answer questions. Students answer questions using different representations of the relationships: function rules, graphs of the function, tables of values, and equations...

In this precalculus worksheet, students complete horizontal shift identifies. They graph functions, solve trigonometric equations using algebra, estimation and with the use of a graphing calculator. Students find the cosine of curves. ...

Students explore the interplay between the geometric and analytic information and on the use of calculus both to predict and to explain the observed local and global behavior of a function. They write a paragraph describing any...

In this Algebra II worksheet, 11th graders graph functions on a coordinate plane. Students determine values for which the function is undefined and explore reciprocal functions. The one page worksheet contains thirty-two problems....
