Students solve algebraic proportions. In this algebra lesson, students convert between fractions, percents and decimals. They solve problems using the distributive property.

Use the strategy of working backwards to practice factoring polynomials and multiplying binomials in a game format. Play, and work to find which products combined with the available factors will result in the placement of four tokens in...

Challenge the class to determine the equation of a line. The 21st part in a 33-part series begins with a proof that every line is a graph of a linear equation. Pupils use that information to find the slope-intercept form of the...

Students translate between verbal and algebraic expressions. After folding paper into four sections (multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction), students list code words under the appropriate section title. Next, they...

Students investigate where in their everyday life math is used. In this algebra lesson, students describe linear transformation as it relates to business and sales. They relate area and perimeter to their yard or garden, as well as...

Demonstrate the abstract process of solving equations by using algebra tiles as a concrete representation. Scholars begin by solving equations through the use of manipulatives. As they gain more confidence, they progress to...

Build a patio from toothpicks and marshmallows to analyze functions! Learners look for patterns in the data as they create different size patios. As they discover patterns, they make connections between the different representations of...

An Algebra II instructional activity draws the connection between the exponential function and its inverse. By graphing an exponential function and using tables and a calculator, high schoolers graph the logarithmic function. The...

Reinforces the use of the distributive property for the pre-algebra or the beginning algebra pupil. Multiple choice and short answer questions test the use of the distributive property in expressions using solely numerical values or...

Students convert between two units as they calculate the temperature. In this algebra lesson plan, students collect data on seasonal climate and create a graph. They make conjectures based on their data collection.

Students revise their Algebra plays. They collaborate in small groups to work on different aspects of the play and report to the class. They make modifications to their plans and review the Musical Rubric to incorporate the concepts...

Students read real world problems, determine the variables, and set up the function using algebraic statements. After entering data into the graphing calculator, they display information in the form of graphs and scatter plots. ...

Students rewrite word problems using the correct symbols. In this algebra lesson, students simplify algebraic expressions and use the correct representation of the unknown. They solve equations using one and two steps operation.

Students create models to represent both linear and quadratic equations.  In this algebra lesson, students collect data from the real world and analyze it. They graph and differentiate between the two types.

Build on your class' understanding of real numbers as they begin working with complex numbers. Pupils begin with an exploration of i and the patterns in the powers of i. After developing a definition for i, they simplify complex number...

Comparatively speaking, does a bug travel farther than a human in 10 seconds? Get a bug and measure how far it travels in 10 seconds. Have a human team member run for 10 seconds and calculate the distance ran. Answer the question,"Who...

In this algebra worksheet, pupils rewrite word problems using an algebraic equation to find the answer. There are 14 questions with an answer key.

Twelfth graders identify the parts of an algebraic equation. They consider the many uses of algebra in daily life. They play a game, Algebra Match, where student pairs work to solve equations listed on index cards.

Eighth graders participate in a lesson plan that is intended to review topics of Algebra.They investigate the concepts of percent and solve problems. Students also solve equations that involve percent of change.

Students apply higher level thinking skills to determine rules for sorting and classification. In this pre-algebra lesson, students nominate classmates who they think satisfy the unspoken "rule" established by the leader. As students are...

Students rewrite word problems using algebraic symbols. In this algebra lesson, students graph linear equations after they rewrite the equation using algebra. They relate math to the real world.

Students investigate linear equations through models. In this algebra lesson, students investigate solving one and two step equations. Review solving a basic equation before starting this assignment.

Students perform basic matrices operations. In this algebra lesson, students add, subtract, multiply and divide matrices. They solve system of equations using matrices.

Eighth graders participate in using algebraic proportional reasoning to find the missing amount that balances on a scale. Substitution is used to discover the missing objects on a scale. They answer multiple choice questions that are...
