Translate, evaluate, educate. Discover how to translate and evaluate expressions. Young mathematicians first review words and phrases that indicate operations and learn to write algebraic expressions from verbal descriptions....

Understanding how functions transform is a key concept in mathematics. This introductory lesson makes a strong connection between the function, table, and graph when exploring transformations. While the resource uses absolute value...

Fifth graders use the Internet to learn about translations, reflections and rotations. Students access the Transmographer program on the Internet, where they practice what they have learned. Students also complete a worksheet.

Help learners translate word problems into algebraic equations. They will rewrite words using symbols and evaluate algebraic expressions using real life scenarios, animation sequences, video presentations, and activities to help students...

Life isn't fair ... like inequalities. After first reviewing inequality symbols and how to read inequality statements, learners discover how to solve one-step inequalities and graph their solution sets.

Hopefully nothing gets lost in translation. Pupils translate between verbal phrases and algebraic expressions. They then use candy to determine what values to substitute into the expressions.

What happens to a function whose graph is translated horizontally? Groups find out as they investigate the effects of addition and subtraction within a function. This nineteenth lesson in a 26-part series focuses on horizontal...

Transform your lesson plan on transformations. Scholars investigate transformations, with particular emphasis on translations and dilations of the graphs of logarithmic and exponential functions. As part of this investigation, they...

Time for a shift in thinking! Learners examine translations of linear functions. They use function notation to describe the translation and make connections to the graph.

Functions have families, too. Learners first graph the parent functions for linear, quadratic, and cubic functions, and then use vertical translations to graph families of functions.

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...

Abracadabra! Letters can be used in math to represent numbers with the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to solve problems! Math magicians will participate in an activity that uses a calculator and a bag...

Transform your lesson on transformations. Learners use given congruent triangles and tracing paper to determine the single transformation that carries one to the other. The concept is extended to combinations of transformations to...

Tenth graders have been introduced to the concepts of translation, reflection, and rotation, and have practiced translating, reflecting, and rotating two-dimensional objects on the coordinate plane.

Seventh graders translate word sentences to algebraic expressions. In groups of three, 7th graders determine the number of times their heart beats in fifteen seconds. Using this data, they calculate the heartbeats per minute, in five...

In this translating worksheet, students read a word sentence, and then translate it to an algebraic equation. Fifteen problems are provided on this one-page worksheet. Answers are provided on the right-side of the page.

Second graders are exposed to algebraic thinking by exploring the concept of a variable. They tell how many years have passed since they've seen a favorite teacher and then examine how they arrived at this number. They write equations.
