The title of this lesson should be "Algebraic Expressions Four Ways." Not only will your class be translating verbal descriptions of algebraic expressions to symbols, but also working with their geometric interpretation via area as well...

Multiple-step problems don't have to equal tough problems. This worksheet provides a list of steps needed to go through multi-step equations that include combining like terms and distributing. With ten problems total, your learners will...

Put your mathematicians to the test and see if they can solve this instructional activity full of multi-step equations with rational numbers. Add, subtract, multiply, and divide with fractions and decimals to solve for x. The top of the...

Test your mathematicians' skills with a worksheet full of decimals and equations. The problems start simple with one-step equations and work up to multi-step equations with variables on both sides. The top of the worksheet has the...

Learners write an example to show a function statement true and another to show it false in this short task that addresses some common student misconceptions. 

Obesity is a worldwide concern. Using survey results, learners compare local BMI statistics to celebrity BMI statistics. Scholars create box plots of the data, make observations about the shape and spread of the data, and examine the...

Students discover how to apply the order of operations to evaluating algebraic expressions. In pairs, they solve problems by placing the order of operations steps in correct order. As an exit slip, students write paragraphs about an...

In this order of operations worksheet, students solve and complete 7 different problems that include using the order of operations or PEMDAS. First, they simplify expressions inside grouping symbols and then any terms containing...

Eighth graders consider an alternate method of factoring trinomials as opposed to guess and check. They can evaluate which method is easier and more appropriate for different problems.

In this simplifying equations worksheet, learners solve 11 different problems related to simplifying equations. They first place the correct symbol between each of the number listed and then, find the opposite number as the one given....

In this radical equations worksheet, 9th graders solve 10 different problems that include various radical equations. First, they isolate the variable in each equation. Then students solve by undoing the addition or subtraction, which...

Sixth graders will practice dealing with whole numbers using the order of operations and performing calculations using the four basic operations. The lesson also includes practical investigation into the use of rational numbers.

In this algebra worksheet, students use order of operations to solve 12 equations. They use the substitution method to solve 12 variable equations.

Middle schoolers solve problems that include applying the order of operations to each expression. A nice review of the process is provided in a box at the top of the page, but it does not follow the PEMDAS acrostic. There are 15...

Middle schoolers explore grouping symbols to mathematical equations to discover the importance of the "order of operations." Learners compare the absence of commas in connected text to the absence of grouping symbols in mathematical...

In a detailed format, this plan walks learners through an introduction to place value. They explore place value words and concepts and recognize patterns in the number system. Students identify a number when given a number word. They use...

Eighth graders engage in a lesson that is concerned with the finding of angles that are found in different two dimensional figures. They compare and contrast exterior and interior angles while also determining the unknown measures of...

Fifth graders demonstrate how to find their pulse and count the beats after a certain amount of time. In cooperative pairs, 5th graders use a stopwatch to keep track of their partner's heart rate in seconds. Pairs make a graph from their...

Third graders use rulers to measure their shoe size in inches and centimeters. They then enter the class shoe measurements into an excel data base and graph the results of both to make the comparison.
