Is this enough to show the two triangles are congruent? Small groups work through different combinations of constructing triangles from congruent parts to determine which combinations create only congruent triangles. Participants use the...

Learners identify the slope of a line as negative, positive, zero or undefined. For this algebra lesson, students identify the distance versus the time using graphs of linear equation. They use the robot and the CEENBoT program to...

Students factor trinomials. In this algebra lesson, students use special patterns and formulas to factor. They utilize algebra tiles as a hands-on method for gaining practice with trinomials.

Young elementary students will discover there are patterns all around them in their daily lives. In groups, they sort pattern blocks by size and color. Using the internet, they create their own type of patterns and share them with the...

Ninth graders apply basic algebra concepts to equations using cognitive, affective, and kinesthetic components. They create their own word problem, perform the story problem using a dramatic presentation, and present the problem to the...

Students practice using algebra to be applied to real world situational problems. The key concepts of translation of language to algebraic expressions is covered. They also look in depth at relationships between different quantities.

Students solve story problems using a spreadsheet in combination with various problem-solving strategies. Working in teams of three, students create attempt to solve a story problem using three different methods; using manipulative,...

Students explore inequalities. In this Algebra I lesson, students solve and graph linear inequalities involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division.  Students use inequalities to solve and graph real-world problems.

Students graph quadratic equations. In this algebra lesson, students solve quadratic equations by factoring. They identify the end behavior of the graph.

Students graph linear and quadratic functions. In this algebra lesson, students create graph with specific coordinate points. They use the Ti to visualise and differentiate between the two functions.
