In this equations worksheet, students simplify expressions with variables without exponents. Students simplify 10 expressions.

Students collect and analyze data. In this statistics lesson, students display their data using excel. They plot the data on a coordinate plane and draw conclusion from their data.

Middle and high schoolers investigate how to solve inequalities. The lesson has a good guide for taking pupils through a direct instruction of the concept. You can use counting tiles in order to help kinesthetic learners.

Practice makes perfect! Learners estimate the least squares fit line for a set of data. They understand error involved in least squares fit lines, and solve application problems using least square fit lines.

Help young mathematicians build a solid understanding of division with this base ten block activity. With the help of these popular math manipulatives, children model different math problems in order to reinforce the...

Tune in for savings! Scholars investigate pricing schemes for two different online music download sites. After comparing the two, they determine the numbers of songs for which each site would be cheaper.

Buying a new sofa? Learn how to use the Pythagorean Theorem, as well as algebra and graphing techniques, to determine whether the sofa will fit around a corner (which I'm sure you'll agree is a very important consideration!).

Here is a (great) lesson on using parentheses! The task requires the expression of ages using algebraic expressions, including the distributive property. Pupils use their expressions to determine the individual ages.

If mathematicians know the secret to compound interest, why aren't more of them rich? Young mathematicians explore compound interest with exponential functions in the twenty-seventh installment of a 35-part module. They calculate future...

Students analyze problem solving techniques for equations with variables by playing a game called "Smackdown". They place variable cards on a grid and use the area model to calculate an answer after spinning a game piece to determine the...

Tenth graders investigate the Elimination Method in the solving of equations. They solve the equation using this method in examples with the teacher and then transfer the new knowledge to independent practice.

Students develop definition for parabola, explain relationship between properties of the graph of a parabola and its equation, explain how the equation of a parabola can be written in different forms, and solve problems that relate the...

In this inverse matrices worksheet, students solve four systems of equations using inverse matrices.  Examples and explanations are provided.

Students work as a team to complete a variety of algebraic equations. Variables are assigned to students who are to substitute values to help their team solve the equation.

Ninth graders translate sentences into equations. They translate equations into sentences. They solve real life problems using verbal models to write equations. They create a problem solution graphic organizer in their journals.

In this function and graph worksheet, students read and interpret maps and graphs. They write an equation, define variables and solve the equation. Students solve diamond problems and use the distributive property to solve equations. ...

In this scatter plots activity, students solve and complete 4 different problems. First, they use the table shown to model the relation with a scatter plot and trend line and to predict the value of a variable when given the other...

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. ...

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.

In this equations of a line worksheet, 9th graders solve 10 different problems related to solving for the equation of a line as stated. First, they draw the line that is described in each statement. Then, students determine the line that...

In this factoring worksheet, students solve equations by factoring. Explanations and examples are given prior to the exercise. This two-page interactive worksheet contains 12 problems with answers.

Students investigate the concept of using quadratic data to plot coordinates on a plane. They also apply the quadratic formula for a variety of problems with the help of a graphing calculator to draw the parabola for given coordinates.
