Solving word problems requires reading comprehension and math computation. Through an interactive slideshow presentation, fourth graders observe and follow each step toward solve multiplication and division word problems. 

The legend of a wise man who asks a king for rice as a reward presents a context to study exponential solutions to differential equations. Pupils move quantities of rice to a chessboard and calculate the amount of rice for each day. To...

Find Pythagorean Triples like the ancient Babylonians. The resource presents the concept of Pythagorean Triples. It provides the system of equations the Babylonians used to calculate Pythagorean Triples more than 4,000 years ago. Pupils...

Put it in slope-intercept form! Learners solve linear equations and sketch a graph of the equation on a coordinate plane. This worksheet contains 12 problems and an answer key.

Eighth and ninth graders solve and graph 24 different problems that include completing input/output tables and graphing the pairs. First, they find the missing values for each table and write the rule for x. Then, students write the...

Help pupils see the world through the eyes of a mathematician. As they examine tide patterns, sound waves, and stock market patterns using trigonometric functions, learners create scatter plots and write best-fit functions. 

Malleable, magnetic, mesmerizing metals! Pupils love learning about metallic elements, especially through the hands-on activities in an engaging lesson plan. The resource provides thorough instruction on the properties of metals, the...

You are what you eat, or so they say! After surveying family and friends on a week of eating habits, learners analyze the data for patterns. They compare different variables such as fats and cost, fats and calories, or fats and LDLs. 

This comprehensive lesson plan reviews solving and graphing quadratic functions and functions of higher degree.  Using the vertex form of a quadratic functions, one finds the vertex, minimum or maximum, and axis of symmetry. A few...

This problem-solving PowerPoint includes detailed steps to follow when solving a math story problem. Each slide describes and gives an example of what a student should ask himself and/or what particular strategy would work in order to...

With 30 problems, each accompanied by a blank graph, pupils get thorough practice solving systems of equations by graphing and finding the point of intersection. Answers are provided in coordinate form.

Students factor polynomial equations. In this algebra instructional activity, students apply the zero product property to factor quadratic equations. They solve real life scenarios by apply the concepts of parabolas.

For this quadratic equation worksheet, students solve quadratic equations by graphing on a coordinate plane. Given the roots and maximum or minimum points, students graph a quadratic equation. This one-page worksheet contains five problems.

Elementary schoolers solve two-step equations and practice money concepts. They solve multi-step addition and subtraction contextual problems and apply money concepts to real life situations. Pupils use pictures and counters to help them...

Pupils solve multi-step number stories. They create number models to solve number stories.  Everyone chooses the appropriate operation to use after reading the problem, and then work in small groups to...

In this math word problems worksheets, students solve 4 multi-step problems that require them to add, subtract, multiply, and divide fractions.

Don't cover up this resource — use it out in the open! Pupils learn how to cover up various parts of a linear equation in order to help solve the equation. A worksheet of problems provides practice with this skill.

Where did all these variables come from, anyway? The previous lessons in the series ask learners to solve multi-step equations using the distributive property, combining like terms, and using inverse operations. Now scholars solve...

Can you handle one more method? It just might be your favorite! Building on the skills learned in the previous lessons in the series, scholars now learn the elimination method. The video examines problems of varying difficulty.
