There are a multitude of games for reviewing almost any subject matter or lesson. The rules can be adapted to fit your own needs and levels. Most of these games have been borrowed from others and adapted. Football Review, Baseball...

In this Algebra I worksheet, 9th graders explore the basic of beginning algebra:  the order of operations, integer operations, translating phrases and sentences, and solving basic one-step equations.  The six page worksheet...

Learners define patterns, relation and function. In this algebra lesson, students find the slope of a line and write equations of line. They model the slope using real life scenarios.

In this algebra worksheet, students identify the properties of a parabola. They factor and graph quadratic equations. There are 18 questions.

Students explore adding and subtracting positive numbers. Students discuss the use of algebra in our daily lives. They examine the algebraic equations and observe their solutions. Students work on the board and at their desks to solve...

Learners explore multiplying fractions and their relationship to parts of a whole. They draw and shade fractional parts to show parts of a whole and fractional parts of a fraction. Pupils also use an Internet site for interactive...

Use paper strips or models to relate division problems to division of fraction problems. Since the materials can be broken up, it helps them to show how they can complete repeated subtraction with fractions and not just whole numbers.

Explore properties of integers! For this algebra lesson, pupils add, subtract, divide and multiply using integers correctly. They differentiate between rational and irrational numbers.

Seventh graders use highest and lowest points of land elevation around the world to find the differences. Sea level is zero, so students be operating with positive and negative numbers. After students find the information on the...

Students determine the common denominator of two unlike fractions. They practice adding fractions and finding equivalent fractions of numbers. They compare and contrast different types of equations involving fractions and construct...

Often inequalities exist in many real-world contexts but young math learners struggle with understanding how to represent that relationship in a simple equation using an inequality. This activity focuses on the basic concepts by using...

In this inequality instructional activity, students graph the inequality of a line. They list ten integer coordinates that lie on the grid. Students explore their findings and answer thought questions. They shade the graph to indicate...

In this word activity, 9th graders examine pictures and write a mathematical phrase to describe the picture.  This one-page activity contains 25 problems.  Answers are provided.

In this rational numbers instructional activity, students solve and complete 35 different problems that include identifying a number of rational numbers. First, they replace each blank line with greater than, less than, or equal to...
