In this language arts learning exercise, students study 10 words in a word bank, then locate them in a word search puzzle. The words appear to be related to algebra; the meaning of the title is not known. There is one misspelled word in...

In this literacy worksheet, students find the words that are in the word search puzzle that focus upon the vocabulary that is from the theme of the sheet.

Students observe and demonstrate the step-by-step process for solving one-step equations. They view a teacher-created PowerPoint presentation, solve one-step equations, and in small groups create a PowerPoint presentation.

Students explore the concept of multi-step equations. In the multi-step equation lesson, students solve equations by the 'party method'. Students make a flip book that shows the steps in solving multi-step equations.

Use this worksheet for practice or review solving linear equations in one variable. Problems range from multiple-step problems involving parentheses and combining like terms, to word problems, to equations with no solution or infinitely...

Eighth graders complete seven work stations that highlight math activities while they focus on the rules for Internet use and classroom rules for working in cooperative groups. After completing the activities, they complete a self-...

Scholars find a pattern from a geometric sequence and write the formula for extending it. The worksheet includes a table to complete plus four analysis questions. It concludes with instructional implications for the teacher.

Students model data using quadratic equations. In this algebra lesson, students simplify and factor quadratic equations. They graph the function using collected data and analyze the parabola.

Use manipulatives (film cans and balance scales) to visualize and solve equivalent equations with your math class. After a lecture/demo, they utilize handouts and solve various equations using the methods learned.

Students use the partial products algorithm to complete multiplication problems. In this partial products lesson plan, students are introduced to the algorithm and connect the relationship to multiplication and division problems.

Fourth graders develop strategies for identifying geometric and number patterns. In this mathematical patterns lesson, 4th graders use pattern blocks to make repeating patterns with numbers and shapes. Students then explore number...

Learners complete subtraction problems where they use goldfish crackers as their manipulatives in the problem. In this subtraction lesson plan, students use words and pictures to also show their problems.
