Sixth graders work through a two-step equation with their teacher. After reviewing one-step equations, they complete a worksheet using tiles and colored pencils to complete two-step equations. To end the lesson, they write out the step...

Students identify patterns in equations. In this algebra lesson, students write equations of problems with recurring patterns. They relate and model real life situation using functions.

Students create visuals on the TI Calculator to solve problems. In this algebra instructional activity, students perform basic operations with integers. They add, subtract, multiply and divide.

Put out by Texas Instruments, this lesson involves learners in an activity focused on adding polynomials, solving equations, factoring trinomials, and expanding binomials. A TI-89 calculator is needed to complete this lesson.

To find x, you have to get it by itself, correct? Individuals solve a linear word problem and share their solutions with others that solved the problem in a similar fashion. They then complete a self-assessment on how they feel about...

Students practice this problem that needs a certain amount of experimentation (trial and error) to get any answer at all. In the process they practice their basic number facts. However, to get the complete set of answers Students need to...

Students use physical models and graphs in order to solve problems that have their origin in the real world that require algebraic thinking. The words are changed into equations and inequalities in order to be solved. This requires...

Students engage in a study of the Pythagorean Theorem to classify the hypotenuse of a triangle. The teacher uses examples from the lesson plan to aid students in comprehension of solving problems that involve problem solving. They create...

Students use visuals and words to solve equations. In this algebra lesson plan, students observe the necessary steps needed to add, subtract,multiply and divide to solve an equation. They graph their solution using the TI calculator.

Middle schoolers solve integers using addition. In this algebra lesson, students add integers using counters. They define and label patterns created by integer operations.

Ninth graders design a safe passage through a 2-D obstacle. For this geometric math lesson, 9th graders engage in a hands on activity to better understand the concept of geometric and algebraic perpendicularity. Students will work in...

Students investigate shapes and patterns. In this algebra lesson, students move from concrete to abstract understanding of shapes and concepts. They use variable to identify the unknown.

Students investigate patterns and functions. In this algebra instructional activity, students examine the repetition of integers and objects. They create formulas for the repetition and identify them as function using equations.

Students explore perimeter, volume, and area. In this math lesson, students explore how changes in dimensions of geometric shapes affect the perimeter, area and volume of the various shapes. Students investigate the results when the...

In this algebra worksheet, students calculate problems dealing with exponents as it relates to money and savings, bacterial growth and paper folding. There are 3 different sections with questions.

Students investigate road surface and calculate speed. In this algebra lesson, students analyze the roughness of a road and calculate distance and speed based on friction. They relate friction and energy to speed.

Learners participate in a lesson that covers the concepts of solving equations and inequalities. To master the concept they must demonstrate visually and verbally how both sides of an equation must be balanced. They construct a balanced...

Geometers explore the concept of tessellations. They use a tessellation applet to manipulate shapes and design their own tessellation using the applet.

This is a great lesson from start to finish. With partners and on their own, learners write and solve linear equations and inequalities. They use manipulatives, group work, and an included worksheet to make magic with their problem...

Students make equations from everyday data. They create a graph from the equations. Students predict and analyze the results. Students complete the second scenario on their own and turn in their handout.

In this factoring worksheet, students factor guided monomials, then binomials, and work their way to trinomials. There are 8 questions with multiple parts.

Study geometry through the concept of quilt design. High schoolers examine the geometric shapes in various quilts and then create their own quilts using geometric shapes that fit together. In the end, they write a paragraph to...

Learners investigate the concept of the Pythagorean Theorem for geometry by using word problems. The challenge is for them to translate the words into the right measurements for a triangle looking for the longest side known as the...
