Learners model a real-life scenario by writing a two-step algebra equation and solving it, as they complete this worksheet. Ten practice word problems on one piece of paper are nicely prepared just for your young algebra learners.

An activity around linear equations, slope, and intercept is here for you. In it, young mathematicians engage in a whole-class activity while the teacher uses the overhead projector graphing calculator. This activity also focuses on...

In this linear equation worksheet, 5th graders complete the equations, and fill in the function tables, before graphing the equation on the coordinate planes in 4 problems . They use equations with variables to solve 2 problems.

There are many ways to correlate coffee to life, but in this case a worksheet looks at the price of two different sizes of coffee. It requires interpreting a graph with two unknown variables, in this case the price, and solving for...

Turn your classroom into a local cell phone store. Then, have your cell phone agents use linear equations to visually display three cell plans and their advantages. It makes for a great group project. Discuss how to decide which plan is...

Model the effects of practice on texting speed. Pupils develop a linear equation that models the change in texting speed based on the amount of practice. The sixth performance task in an eight-part series requires learners to solve...

Skills drills help math learners become adept at solving equations. This activity provides 15 simple linear equations with one variable each. Learners simply solve them. It should not take long, therefore you may want to keep this on...

Combine math, creative writing, and leprechauns in a fun St. Patrick's Day activity! Using a bag of gold coins and marshmallows, kids write a math story about a leprechaun that includes a multi-step equation to solve.

Develop an understanding of algebraic sequences through an exploration of patterns. Five leveled problems target grade levels from elementary through high school. Each problem asks young mathematicians to recognize a geometric pattern....

In this linear equations worksheet, students study and analyze how to solve simple equations online. Students solve forty-four simple equations and check their answers on line as they go.

In this algebra learning exercise, students solve systems of equations using elimination or linear combination. There are 24 questions with an answer key.

What sign is missing? Is this equation true? Rather than a learning exercise, this resource is a one-page script for a guided lesson on addition and subtraction equations. While the pupil handout is missing, the teacher guide could be...

Gain exposure to addition and subtraction symbols. First, pupils examine a visual number sentence (featuring Sponge Bob), filling in the correct symbol to make it a complete equation. Next, they read a run-on number sentence involving...

Pupils determine the theoretical probability of winning a game of marbles. Individuals compare the theoretical probability to experimental probability for the same game. They continue on to compare two different probability games.

Young mathematicians extend their knowledge of rational numbers on a number line to graph inequalities by first using number cards to compare rational numbers. They finish by using similar reasoning to graph inequalities on a number line.

Quadratics and height application problems go hand in hand like teenagers and sleeping in. High schoolers must look at the equation of a diver's height and calculate such features as the height of dive board, time entering the water, and...

What's so special about slope? Pupils first match cards with slope and y-intercept to graphs of linear equations. They continue the lesson by matching equations in slope-intercept form to the same graphs.

Did you know that leaky faucets waste $10 million worth of water? Conservationists perform an experiment and draw best-fit lines to explore how the US Geological Society determined this value.

Challenge the class to utilize their knowledge of linear and quadratic functions to determine the intersection of the parent quadratic graph and linear proportional graphs. Using the pattern for the solutions, individuals develop a...

Give the class a mental work out with an assessment task in which young mathematicians compare several gym membership options. They use substitution to calculate the cost for given numbers of months.

Thirty at the party won't cost any more than twenty-five. The assessment task provides a scenario for the cost of a party where the initial fee covers a given number of guests. The class determines the cost for specific numbers of guests...

Incorporate riddles into your math lesson by having students make tree factors and determine if the number is a prime or composite. They will also use other clues to find the answer to the riddle while sharpening their...

Most problems can be solved using more than one method. A worksheet includes just nine questions but many more ways to solve each. Scholars must graph, solve, and justify quadratic problems.
