Building on knowledge from the previous lesson, the second lesson in this unit teaches scholars to identify and interpret rate of change and initial value of a linear function in context. They investigate how slope expresses the...

Use statistics to decide if NFL quarterbacks earn their salaries! Learners study correlation coefficients after using technology to calculate regression equations. Through the data, they learn the meaning of correlation and correlation...

Examine parts of an expression in this algebra lesson. Ninth graders identify the properties of the coefficient and their behavior to the graph. They graph the equation on a TI to see their results.

Young math whizzes role play a doctor operating on a patient without diagnosing the patient's condition. They relate this medical malpractice to performing a mathematical operation before evaluating conditions or deciding what the...

Students use their knowledge and understanding of equations of lines to explore independent and dependent variables. They determine how to isolate a variable and how to predict data points not represented in data.

Pupils solve 2 X 2 systems graphically and algebraically. They investigate parallel systems. They solve application problems using 2 X 2 systems.

Students solve linear equations. In this algebra lesson, students solve equations using addition, subtraction, division and multiplication. They evaluate and simplify functions.

What does a graph or equation say about a situation? Lots! The lesson uses the concepts explored in the previous four lessons in the series and applies them to problem solving situations. Learners create an equation from problems posed...

Where did all the variables go? Scholars learn how to interpret an equation when they eliminate all variables during the solving process. They interpret the solution as infinite solutions or no solutions. 

Playing with values in this fruit salad problem allows learners to find out how many cherries were mixed in. Your middle schoolers can organize their thoughts in a chart before going into the equation. Eigth graders can skip the chart...

Don't leave this task on the shelf — use it is assess middle schoolers understanding of patterns. Participants try to discover a pattern in the number of bricks and planks used to make shelves. They then match descriptions...

The bounce of a golf ball changes the result in golf, mini golf—and a great math activity. Scholars graph the height of golf ball bounces before finding a line of best fit. They analyze their own data and the results of others to better...

Investigate the relationship between height and arm span. Young statisticians measure the heights and arm spans of each class member and create a scatter plot using the data. They draw a line of best fit and use its slope to explain the...

Students solve systems of equations. In this precalculus lesson plan,students solve linear equations using matrices. They use the Gaussian elimination method to identify the missing variables and simplify the linear equations.

Ninth graders explore the point-slope form of linear equations and graph lines in the point-slope form. After completing the point-slope equation, they identify the slope of a line through a particular point. Students explain the...

In this differential equations worksheet, students solve systems of simultaneous differential equations using linear algebra. This six-page worksheet contains approximately six problems, with explanations and examples.

In this algebra activity, students solve inequalities using addition, subtractions and multiplication. They graph the inequalities with shading. There are 2 questions.

Students graph 2x2 systems and solve them algebraically. They investigate parallel systems by solving equations.

Practice with literal equations. Solve for one variable in terms of another.  Find the value of y given specific values of x. This short worksheet would make a good warm-up activity at the beginning of class or a quick assessment at...

Graph it! Investigate transformations with a graphing calculator. Pupils graph sets of linear functions on the same set of axes. They determine how changes in the equation of a linear function result in changes in the graph.

Solve polynomial equations of degree using different theorems and apply the zero factor theorem for unknown numbers in a quadratic equation. Also use the discriminate to find out the kind of solutions to given quadratic equations shown.

Solve systems of equation using graphing! In this algebra lesson plan, students use the TI to graph two lines and identify the number of solutions. They perform interactive graphing on the navigator.

Here is a great opportunity to introduce your mathematicians to a food they may never have heard of, quinoa. It may help to show a short video on quinoa, or make some quinoa for the class to try. Once they get over how to say quinoa,...
