School subjects connect when your young scholars use math to edit English. Math allows you to convert an entire paragraph into a simple equation or inequality. Examples encourage learners to write expressions, equations, and inequalities...

Many people confuse atomic mass and atomic numbers. The sixth of seven lessons in a unit requires scholars to find the weight of different groups of pennies. Then, they must solve how many of each type of penny exists in a closed system...

Students balance equations using the correct method. In this algebra lesson, students solve linear equations using a virtual balance beam as a manipulative. They play games to reinforce the concept of equations being and staying balanced.

Learners illustrate the concept of balancing equations using a Four-Pan Algebra Balance. In this balancing lesson, students visualize why it is necessary to add or subtract the same quantity on both sides of an equation when solving...

Sixth graders solve two-step equations.

Ask your algebra learners to write an equation that has unit constraints. This commentary talks about the constraints, but does not show them in the equation. It is important that your mathematicians understand that the units apply to...

Students solve linear equations using two steps. In this algebra lesson, students add, subtract, multiply and divide to solve linear equations. They apply concepts of equations to a robot pulling cargo.

Young scholars use algebra tiles to solve linear equations with integer solutions. In this algebra lesson plan, students use the additive inverse and the zero pair concept.

Students solve systems of equation through graphing. In this algebra lesson, students solve linear equations and analyze the result to figure out if there is one solution, no solution or infinitely many solutions. They graph their lines...

High schoolers determine the linear equations of the density of water and oil by collecting data on the mass of various volumes of each liquid. They construct scatter plots from the data and use these to write the linear equations for...

Your algebra high schoolers double their money monthly in this task based on a checking account balance. Learners write an equation to model the situation and then use their model to answer contextual questions.

Students solve one step linear equations. In this algebra lesson, students manipulate their variables and numbers to answer each problem. They make sure the equations stay balanced at all times.

Students perform an experiment to find the linear relationship between the appllied weight and the bend of the cantilever. For this linear relationships lesson, students follow detailed directions to set up an experiment. They add...

Students create visuals on the TI Calculator to solve problems. In this algebra lesson plan, students perform basic operations with integers. They add, subtract, multiply and divide.

Learners collect data from measurements and weights for this experiment. In this algebra lesson, students analyze graphs they create form their data to find the expression representing the data. They label which graph provided the best...

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...

Learners analyze velocity and how it is determined. They experiment with velocity in order to measure and calculate the magnitude of speed. They use examples in their novel "Skateboard Renegade" to relate velocity to real life situations.

Young scholars analyze the relationship between speed, time and distance. In this math lesson, students plan a school trip. Young scholars determine the efficiency and cost effectiveness of a trip.

Students build and program a Lego Mindstorms Roverbot to travel for a given amount of time. They gather data on time versus distance traveled to determine a calibration constant for their robot, which relates time to distance.

The lesson plan provided here gives a step-by-step set of instructions for balancing an equation in order to find the value of the unknown variable. After two examples are worked through, 10 practice problems are given, as well as their...

Students will learn and reinforce skills for solving for unknowns, manipulating equations while keeping them in balance, using formulas to solve real-world challenges, and working with proportions, radicals and exponents.

Sixth graders work with the concept of equality and balance to solve one and two-step algebraic equations.

This task challenges students to demonstrate an understand of the concept of equality using scales and balance beams.

This lesson plan will result in students solving equations and using properties to form equivalent expressions. It provides downloadable PDF resources to go along with the lesson as well as strategies for diverse learners, extensions and...
