Students solve linear equations using word problems. In this algebra lesson, students rewrite the word problems by identifying the important information. They make a table and graph their results to analyze it.

Young scholars demonstrate how to solve word problems. In this problem solving lesson plan, students use strategies such as drawing pictures, using counters, and making a table to justify how they solved the word problem.

Fifth graders analyze patterns and begin looking at function tables. This is a pertinent preparation for graphing patterns. In fact, consider giving your class a piece of graph paper and then teach them how!

If you have some 9-10 year olds who are ready for some 5th year math, then check out this UK math unit. There are 172 slides that cover all of the basic multiplication tables, relate those to division, fractions, sequencing, and an...

In this tally chart learning exercise, students read the word problems and use the information within the problem to make a tally chart. Students use the tally charts to help them finish and solve the word problem.

In this pictograph problem solving learning exercise, students analyze the data on a table and create a pictograph. Students read and solve 6 story problems about the pictograph.

How do letters and numbers create a picture? Scholars learn to create input/output tables to graph functions. They graph both linear and nonlinear functions by creating tables and plotting points.
