In this exponents and factoring worksheet, 9th graders solve and complete 32 different problems that include simplifying a number of equations. First, they write each expression with only one exponent. Then, students simplify to a number...

In this basic polynomial operations worksheet, students identify polynomials by degree and number of terms, and perform operations of addition, subtraction, and multplication. There are also a few critical thinking questions included....

Your Algebra learners will explore what equations are functions or not functions and how to alter the domain to produce a possibility for the relations being a function with a limitted domain.

Teach your class to think outside the box. Scholars use the concept of equality to solve a problem in the assessment task. They determine how to use a scale to identify the one box out of a set of nine boxes that is heavier than the others.

In this algebra worksheet, students play a game of "Algebra War". They write linear equations and evaluate functions. They work in groups as they play the game to reinforce basic algebra skills.

In this worksheet, algebra learners solve and complete 20 different equations that include combining like terms. First, they identify and define like terms and how they can be combined in solving an equation. Then, students combine like...

Keep your hands on the wheel—at all times! Scholars learn why pilots use a flight computer through a high-flying demonstration. Making calculations for speed, distance, or time is automatic if you know how to use a flight computer. 

Students test factors that may affect the rate at which sugar dissolve in water. They conduct two studies: One is to test the effect of temperature on the rate of solvation and the other is to test a factor which Students come up with...

Weighted averages can be tricky to explain! However, this study guide makes it easy for teachers by including definitions, explanations, and breaking down problems into three steps. Includes mixture problems and uniform motion problems.

Protect yourself from identity theft! Establishing a strong understanding of the Pythagorean identity allows learners to prove that sine^2x + cos^2x = 1. They then use the identity to find sine or cosine ratios given the other.

Undo a function to create a new one. The inverse of a function does just that. An inquiry-based lesson examines the result of reversing the variables of a function, beginning with linear patterns and advancing to quadratic and...

Help learners translate word problems into algebraic equations. They will rewrite words using symbols and evaluate algebraic expressions using real life scenarios, animation sequences, video presentations, and activities to help students...

Abracadabra! Letters can be used in math to represent numbers with the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to solve problems! Math magicians will participate in an activity that uses a calculator and a bag...

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...

The best part of learning about equilibrium is that nothing changes. Young chemists observe four demonstrations during this instructional activity: equilibrium in a saturated solution, equilibrium with an acid-base indicator, equilibrium...

Negative exponents can be tricky, but this resource makes a mathematical conundrum an easier concept to grasp by relating the concept of exponents to the amount of time a plant has been owned. Fifth, sixth, and seventh graders will...

Parent functions and their combinations create unique graphical designs. Learners explore these relationships with a progressive approach. Beginning with linear equations and inequalities and progressing to more complex functions,...

Your algebra learners analyze the value of an algebraic expression to decide if it will increase, decrease, or stay the same when one variable is changed as the others stay constant. Their collaborative efforts culminate with a written...

Of course, there might be a correlation! Young mathematicians investigate several different data sets, create scatter plots, and determine any correlation. They consider whether a causation exists between any of the variables in question.

Start this activity with a brief description of how to solve absolute value inequalities. A space is provided to help classify the inequalities into types (greater than, less than, or equal to) and for learners to show how to graph their...

Middle schoolers compare the basic needs of plants to the basic needs of democracy. In this democracy comparison lesson, students complete a worksheet on what happens to a plant that's not nourished. Middle schoolers draw a correlation...

What are constraints and how can they be represented mathematically? This instructional slideshow provides an explanation and an example of how to translate constraints into algebraic inequalities.

What are terms, factors, and coefficients? This slideshow provides definitions and examples of various parts of algebraic expressions, and provides guided practice problems in writing and identifying parts of algebraic expressions for...

This basic handout would be good for skills practice or a review of parallel and perpendicular lines. Review the definitions, then practice writing equations of lines that pass through a specific point and are either parallel or...
