Students identify word problem strategies. In this problem solving lesson, students act as "math coaches" to identify key words that indicate mathematical operations. Students use a white board to complete each word problem

Students act as math coaches to solve word problems. In this math word problems lesson, students brainstorm key words in math operations, create flash cards to review relationships between words and operations, coach each other in the...

Third graders create pictures using ordered pairs after listening to a piece of literature. In this ordered pairs and literature instructional activity, student listen to and discuss The Polar Express by Chris Van Allsburg. They...

In this algebra worksheet, students work with pairs of linear equations. Three problems ask students to determine if the given ordered pair is a solution of the system of equations. Students graph two systems to determine the solution.

Sixth graders interpret linear and nonlinear graphs. They create graphs based on a problem set. Next, they represent quantitive relationships on a graph and write a story related to graphing.

Students solve problems using equations. In this algebra instructional activity, students identify the correct symbols and steps when solving word problems. They graph their lines and analyze the slope using tiles.

Simplify your life by using a resource on simplifying square roots. Pupils review square roots and calculate values of given radical expressions using a calculator. The lesson concludes by having them consider the results to develop the...

What do you do when you don't think you have enough information? You look for another way to do the problem! Pupils combine what they know about finding the area of a triangle and trigonometry to determine triangle area when they don't...

Students collect data from an experiment they perform. For this data lesson, students use multiple representations to solve practical problems; describe advantages and disadvantages of the use of each representation. Then, they evaluate...

Guide multiplication lesson plan instruction with a formative assessment. Mathematicians are given two multiplication problems to solve and represent using the area model, equal groups, repeated addition, and word problems. Following the...

Can an equation have an infinite number of solutions? Allow your class to discover the relationship between the input and output variables in a two-variable equation. Class members explore the concept through tables and graphs and...

Word problems offer class members an opportunity to learn the concept of solving linear systems using graphs. Individuals choose a problem based upon preferences, break into groups to discuss solution methods and whether there...

In this algebra worksheet, students translate 39 word problems into algebraic terms and solve them. They complete 42 problems about coordinate graphing, working with ordered pairs, slop, and equations of lines.. They make 2 scatter grams...

Fourth graders explore their multiplication skills. In this number sense lesson, students use their problem solving skills to solve a word problem that requires them to multiply 2 or 3-digit numbers by 1 or 2-digit numbers....

Learners investigate linear functions. In this mathematics lesson, students plot points onto a graph by solving the equations y=x and y=mx+b by being given numbers for x and solving for y.

Students rewrite word problems and solve using math. For this word problem lesson, students gather data and observe the data. They relate this process to the scientific method and math. They review their data to be able to answer...

Do these items have the same ratio? Through a learning contract, pupils master proportions by practicing proportions via word problems, graphs, and with manipulatives. An exit ticket checks for understanding at the end of the...

Investigate the different types of slope using graphs and ordered pairs. Scholars use the slope formula to determine the slope of a line between two points. Includes examples with a slope of zero and with no slope. The lesson follows a...

Students investigate the use of The Order of Operations using a story. The solution of the story correlates with using the same thinking involved in the application of the Order of Operations. This brings the concept into real world for...

Seventh graders practice using the Order of Operations to simplify algebraic expressions. They start with some basic operations and move into gradual harder problems to bring to the level of mastery.

Explore the joy of math with you little learners! They practice creating math problems with numbers from a fact family using numbers 1-10. They work independently with a set of connecting cubes to aid them in creating number sentences...

Fifth graders use estimation to solve word problems. In this fractions lesson, 5th graders decide whether or not an answer to a work problem is reasonable by applying their knowledge of fractions, decimals and estimation. This lesson...

How do you show that something is a rectangle? This activity starts with four coordinate points and asks young geometers to explain whether they create a rectangle. Knowledge from both geometry and algebra come into play here, as well...

Students graph linear http://www.lesson planplanet.com/review?id=180542equations. In this problem solving lesson plan, students calculate slope and plot ordered pairs on a coordinate grid. Using a real-life example of a walk-a-thon,...
