The structure of an expression is a descriptive feature. Learners build a solid understanding of quadratic functions using an analysis of expressions in different forms. The seventh module in a series of nine includes 12 lessons...

Young mathematicians research and discuss real world math word problems and ways in which they apply math concepts in their everyday lives. They create a storyboard of a math word problem from which they create a slide for a multi-media...

Learners demonstrate their knowledge pictorially, concretely, and abstractly in this unit meant to last three hours over three days. Using hands-on activities, manipulatives,  real-world applications, and problem...

Algebra learners can always relate to ice cream. In this case, a carton of ice cream has been at room temperature for t minutes. Given an expression for the temperature of the ice cream, it is up to your number crunchers to...

Explore a basic pattern to practice writing expressions. In collaborative groups, learners examine a contextual pattern and write an expression to model it. The task encourages groups to describe the pattern in multiple ways.

The class solves 19 problems involving rational expressions. They find the least common denominator of fractions, make fractions equivalent and then add or subtract fractions containing rational expressions.

Pupils rewrite expressions in equivalent forms to identify key features. They use the vertex and factored forms of quadratic expressions to identify the extrema and intercepts. To finish the installment of the Claim 1 Item Slide Show...

In this evaluating expressions instructional activity, students solve and complete 50 various types of review problems. First, they complete each sentence and define the listed terms. Then, students evaluate each expression for the given...

Where do those asymptotes come from? Learners graph, simplify, and solve rational functions in the fifth module of a 10-part series. Beginning with graphing, pupils determine the key characteristics of the graphs including an in-depth...

Structure makes everything easier — even math. A helpful resource contains five short problems that require pupils to use the structure of the expressions in order to answer the questions. 

In this radical expressions worksheet, 11th graders solve and complete 55 various types of problems. First, they find the function value in each expression. Then, students simplify, assuming that variables represent real numbers. In...

Express your wonder at this resource. Middle schoolers solve 10 short problems in the expressions and equations domain. They apply operations with scientific notation, set up and solve equations, and analyze linear equations.

Find out when rational expressions are closed. Pupils review adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing with rational numbers to make the connections to operations with rational expressions. Using specific examples, learners notice...

Placement of parentheses is paramount. Scholars adjust the location of parentheses in a numerical expression so its value matches a given value. A slider interactive helps with this task.

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.

Build a strong understanding of simplified rational expression with your classes. An interactive lesson helps scholars discover the equality between the original expression and the simplified expression. Questions help individuals focus...
