Students explore the concepts of commutative, associative, and distributive properties. In this beginning algebra lesson, students discuss the terms "commute", "associate", and "distribute" and how they correlate with the related...

Seventh graders gather data to determine the relationships between the base and height of rectangles with fixed perimeters and express the relationships using words and symbols. Students build rectangles with pipe cleaners. They create...

In this word problem worksheet, 5th graders review various mathematical terms by selecting the correct letter that answers each question completely. There are a total of 13 math problems to solve which vary between word problems,...

Pupils manipulate negative and positive numbers. For this integers lesson, students move through three activities exploring negative and positive whole numbers. A number line, cardboard function representation, and solving expressions...

Young scholars manipulate a ball and explore quadratic functions. In this algebra lesson, students analyze the graph of a quadratic function. They identify quadratic properties.

Learn how to explore rational functions and investigate the graphs rational functions and identify its singularities and asymptotes.  Students approximate the solutions to rational equations and inequalities by graphing.

Students solve problems dealing with percents using "is over of" algorithm.

Students examine the four quadrants of Cartesian coordinate plane. They play maze games and coordinate games to discover how to read and plot points on the plane. Students plot points on the coordinate plane and examine the ratio of...

By learning to select the best representation for three meal plans, students compare three meal plans to determine the best choice. Data for the meal plans is sorted on a table, as an algebraic equation, and graphed on a coordinate grid....

Students solve equations. In this calculus lesson, students compare equations and identify equivalencies. They compare and approximate fractions and decimals.

Students pretend to borrow $1000.00 on a credit card. They pretend to make the minimum payments for a year. When they're done, they make a pie chart showing how much of their payments reduced their debt, and how much was interest.

Students examine a graph and relate it to the real world situation it depicts. They investigate changes in an equation and the appearance of a line. They investigate the connection between the graph of a situation and the meaning of the...

Teach your class how to differentiate between linear and exponential functions. They use exponential properties to solve problems, graph them using the TI-Navigator, and make comparisons.

Statisticians analyze different samples to find independent and dependent events. In this probability lesson, pupils predict the outcome and then calculate the real outcome. They create a tree diagram to help predict the probability of...

Learners examine functions and function notation. They use computer activities to discover how to graph functions, and conduct a vertical line test. Students describe spatial relationships using coordinate geometry.

Budding mathematicians graph polynomial functions and examine their zero and y-intercepts. They analyze how the zero and y-intercepts of the numerator and denominator affect the graph of a rational function. Several great additional...

Sixth graders listen to "Sixteen Tons" by Tennessee Ernie Ford and discuss what it means to owe one's soul to a store. In this mathematics lesson, 6th graders determine what a miner's income was minus his expenses graphing findings in a...

Your class will grasp the concept of domain-and range on a graph by using their TI navigator to graph their lines. They observe the effect of a function and non-functions based on the domain and range.

Students make their own puzzle grid that illustrates the number of sit-ups students in a gym class did in one minute, then they make a histogram for this same data. Then they title their graph and label the scales and axes and graph the...

Students use the quadratic formula to solve application problems. The first problem relates to the path of a football thrown from the top of the bleachers. Students compute the time it will take the football to reach certain heights. In...

Students complete a chain of numbers given the outcome. In this geometry lesson, student use deductive and inductive reasoning to solve problems. They create a formula and ways to predict numbers in the chain without starting over.

Students are introduced to the concept of variables and their uses. In groups, they are given a code in which they must find the value of the missing words. To end the activity, they find the value of words over ten letters long and...

Fifth graders discover how to use inverse operations to solve equations. In this inverse operations lesson, 5th graders explore visual examples. Students also practice solving problems that their instructors model.

Ninth graders explore relations.  In this Algebra I lesson, 9th graders investigate the various methods of expressing a relation.  Students use ordered pairs, mappings, tables and graphs to express relations.
