When is finding the discriminant enough? Using the quadratic formula helps find solutions to quadratic equations, but there are times when just using the discriminant is appropriate. Use this algebra II lesson to help classes see...

Can you solve an equation graphically? Absolutely! This Algebra II lesson makes the connection between solving an absolute value equation and graphing two functions. Graphing absolute value functions is presented through the process of...

For this math worksheet, students work at home with a family member to add and subtract decimals in a sample check register. Students add deposits, subtract withdrawals and determine the balance of the account.

Represent, order, and compare rational numbers in order to practice placing them on a number line. Your class will use appropriate operations, methods, and tools to compute with real numbers. Then they must explain completely and clearly...

Fifth and sixth graders compare decimals to the place-value structure in the base-ten number system. They represent fractions as parts of unit wholes, as parts of a set, as locations on a number line, and as divisions of whole numbers....

Young scholars utilize a checklist in order to help them stay focused on long division problems.

One must obey the sine laws. A lesson introduces and derives the Law of Sines for non-right triangles. With examples that use the Law of Sines to determine unknown measures in triangles, the lesson checks to see if the Law...

Increase understanding of the algebraic properties and their importance. Scholars justify their steps as they simplify expressions and solve equations. They formalize their work as two-column proof.

Laws are meant to be broken, right? Learners derive the Law of Sines by dropping a perpendicular from one vertex to its opposite side. Using the Law of Sines, mathematicians solve for various parts of triangles.

Seventh graders discuss the associative property of math. They are to find examples of the property and others. They also write in their journals about what they learned.

In this math activity, students use the rules of probability in order to complete the word problems focused upon the act of turning right or left.

Designers measure their own rooms and produce a scale drawing. They use the Internet to visit sites to find the costs of purchasing new carpet, paint, or anything else they would like to add to their room. Using a $1500 budget, they will...

Learners, working with their parents in real world situations, calculate to complete three word problems associated with multiplying and dividing fractions.

Multiplication can be expressed in many ways. This PowerPoint should help students decipher different algebraic expressions by including definitions, examples of word phrases, and placement rules of variables. The last four slides...

Ever sigh when learners ask why they have to know so many different forms of the quadratic equation? Here is a lesson that comes in handy! Using hands-on matching activities, quadratic equations are explored through...

Encourage at-home assistance with a reference sheet designed to provide parents and guardians with the information they need to help their child divide fractions. Three pages offer detailed descriptions and labeled examples.    

Three pages make up a reference document designed to assist families in providing the information needed for their children succeed in mathematics. Detailed descriptions and labeled examples showcase how to multiply fractions. 

Direct variation can be applied to many problems and here is a worksheet that has learners practicing them all. The skills include graphing, finding proportional relationships, and solving word problems to show how different factors...

Finding the critical numbers of a function can be extreme. The lesson introduces the Extreme Value Theorem to the class with a graph. Pupils then have an opportunity to practice determining the values using an algebraic function.

Scholars first learn to graph square root and cube root functions by creating a table of values. They then learn how to graph functions from transformation of the graphs of the parent square root and cube root functions.

Put all of the derivative rules into one basket. The lesson plan stars with warm-up exercises that provide a connection to previously learned concepts. The lesson plan uses the different derivative theorems to calculate a variety of...

The inverse of matter is anti-matter, so the inverse of a derivative is an antiderivative. The lesson introduces antiderivatives and indefinite integrals to the class along with the notation for integrals. Groups work together to find...

Derivatives are useful for many things — they can even keep track of particle motion. An informative lesson plan provides an introduction to the idea of the second derivative in particle motion. Class members determine the...

Scholars first learn to solve two-step equations with fractional coefficients and constants by traditional methods and by clearing the denominator. They continue by learning another approach to solve two-step equations that have decimal...
