Math apprentices are introduced to the components of a linear relationship. In groups, they write story problems that incorporate this relationship and relates to the real world. They give their problem to the class for them to solve.

In this thousands word problems instructional activity, 7th graders solve and complete 6 different word problems that include the thousands place. First, they read each story and draw a picture to determine the solutions to each problem....

Students rewrite word problems using equations. In this algebra lesson, students relate the concept of equations and symbols to the real world. They graph their solutions on a graph and analyze it.

In this math word problem worksheet, 6th graders use their problem solving skills to examine 1 story problem that requires them to set up and solve an algebra problem.

Young scholars write the algebraic equation to determine the number of weeks money must be saved to purchase a yo-yo. In this algebra instructional activity, students create a pattern of one penny surrounded by six pennies. They continue...

Students are presented with a story about two individuals running a race in which one is given a head start. Students must map the progress of the runners, create a chart examining patterns and graph the progress. In the end, students...

In this algebra lesson, students work in groups to design a treasure map in which algebraic equations must be solved using the correct order of operations. Students decide where treasure is hidden, then create and follow their group's...

For this algebra equation worksheet, students read story problems, write algebraic equations and solve for the unknown. This one-page worksheet contains four problems involving total length, total cost, and figuring tax.

In this algebraic equation worksheet, students read a story problem. They write algebraic equations and solve for the unknown. Students also use a guess and check table to solve problems. This one-page worksheet contains three story...

Graphing all kinds of situations in one and two variables is the focus of this detailed unit of daily lessons, teaching notes, and assessments. Learners start with piece-wise functions and work their way through setting up and solving...

Use context to explain the importance of the key features of a graph. When context is introduced, the domain and range have meaning, which enhances understanding. Pupils use application questions to explore the key features of the graph...

Collaborative groups utilize their knowledge of parent functions and transformations to determine the equations associated with graphs. The graph is then related to the scenario it represents. 

Pupils explore the many representations of linear functions by completing a matching activity to connect the multiple representations of a function. They then reinforce the connection as individuals create the different representations...

In this Applied Skills Assessment worksheet, 5th graders complete a sample state assessment for Language Arts and Mathematics for 5th graders. They read a writing prompt and complete a writing activity that follows, answer various types...

An informative module highlights eight polynomial concepts. Learners work with polynomial functions, expressions, and equations through graphing, simplifying, and solving. 

Take steps into sequences. An 11-lesson unit builds upon pupils' previous understanding of writing expressions to develop the idea of sequences. The resource explores both arithmetic and geometric sequences using recursive and explicit...

Young scholars use the children's story of The Tortoise And The Hare in order to investigate the graphing of equations. The story is converted to an algebraic word problem for them to solve. Students investigate the relationships of data...

A graph not only tells us who won the bike race, but also what happened during the race. Use this resource to help learners understand graphs. The commentary suggests waiting until the end of the year to introduce this topic, but why...

Students produce an equation from a graph, based on an engineering-context story provided. In this production of equations lesson, students write an equation given the graph and description. Students also describe what the y-intercept...

Students explore change represented in graphs comparing distance and time. They exchange and share their graphs. Students interpret and create distance versus time line-graphs, and write stories based on these graphs. They interpret a...
