Ninth graders investigate solving word problems.  In this Algebra I instructional activity, 9th graders explore the four step process for solving word problems:  Step 1-make a table of values, Step 2-identify the constant, Step...

Students evaluate the equations that each variable is a function of time. They differentiate each expression with a comparison to the variable of t.

In this discrete least squares activity, students use a linear algebra approach to discrete last squares approximation. This two-page activity contains approximately 10 problems.

Students study what an experiment is comprised of and how to be successful when doing an experiment.  In this experimental lesson students design their own experimental investigation and answer questions.

Students analyze relating a model to an algebraic equation and visa versa. Patterns are reviewed in detail and then in pairs new models are created and then translated into a word problem or equation. They illustrate their models on...

In this population worksheet, pupils read word problems relating to population growth. They write the problem as a differential equation, create models and graphs of the solution. This three-page worksheet contains 10 multi-step problems.

In this math learning exercise, students find the solutions to the differential equations. They also investigate the application of recognizing the parts of the equation.

In this writing equations worksheet, students solve 6 math word problems that require them to write and solve equations using the information provided.

Students change verbal expressions to algebraic equations. They practice the vocabulary of algebraic equations.

Eighth graders demonstrate the mathematical components of a scientific problem as well as illustrate how real world problems can be solved using math. They demonstrate math skills such as rate calculation, graphing, and linear equations.

Students use the quadratic formula to solve application problems. The first problem relates to the path of a football thrown from the top of the bleachers. Students compute the time it will take the football to reach certain heights. In...

Students use scientific methods to investigate the effects of overpopulation of seed plants on growth in a limited living space. Students relate seed plant population findings to that of other organisms.

In this algebra worksheet, students read the information about the relationships of functions and then they fill in the graphic organizer with the information at the bottom of the page.

Young scholars 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...

Learners imagine that they own a sneaker company. They are asked how they would know if their company made a profit. Students determine the number of sneakers of each type they need to sell in order to "break even." They are asked how...

Ninth graders study the correct way to solve equations using the order of operations. They apply a mnemonic device to remember the proper order.

Students create their plays to demonstrate concepts from Algebra I. They collaborate in small groups to add music and dancing to their plays. They analyze the suggestions from the previous class as they revise their plays.

In this logarithmic and exponential form learning exercise, students solve 10 different problems that includes converting each from one form to the other. First, they determine what the base needs to be in each problem. Then, students...

Sixth graders are shown a variety of algebraic equations. In groups, they use tiles to represent each expression in the equations. To end the lesson, they solve story problems with one and two unknown variables. Individuals share their...

Use a activity to go over the basic concepts of relations and functions. Included are clear definitions and examples of relations, domain and range, and functions and the vertical line test.  However, the problems are pretty...

With only indirect information, can your mathematicians figure out how old Mr. P is? This secondary mathematics worksheet has algebra students examining 9 pieces of information about Mr. P's life, each of which is integral to answering...

An upper-level treatment of what is often presented as a basic concept (the right angle of an inscribed circle on the diameter), this activity really elevates the mathematical thought of the learner! Expected to develop formulas...

In this math worksheet, students compute the quotient of two differential amounts. They compute the trigonometric functions of a given variable. Students compute the derivatives of three functions.

This study guide would be great to use when presenting a lesson on ratios and proportions. It includes clear definitions, explanations, and examples to work through as a class or individually. In addition, it has notes on rates and...
