Students create friendship bracelets using a circular pattern. In this friendship lesson, students use visual aides such as Kidspiration and use a problem solving method to learn more each other.

Review the multiple methods of solving quadratic equations through an analysis of the discriminant. Scholars use the discriminant to determine the best solution method and then solve various equations. As a challenge, learners build...

Explore nonlinear systems through graphs and algebra. High schoolers begin by examining the different types of quadratic functions and their possible intersections. They then use algebraic methods to solve systems containing various...

This assessment pair goes way beyond simple graphing, factoring and solving polynomial equations, really forcing learners to investigate the math ideas behind the calculations. Short and to-the-point questions build on one another,...

Visualize methods of finding percents. Classmates find a percent of a quantity using two methods including a visual model in the 26th lesson in a series of 29. By the end of the lesson, scholars find percents given a part and the whole...

After an introductory activity to demonstrate the theory of a limit, additional activities approach a limit from graphical, numerical, and algebraic methods. The activity looks at the multiple ways of understanding and evaluating a...

Extend young mathematicians' understanding of area with a geometry lesson on trapezoids. Building on their prior knowledge of rectangles and triangles, students learn how to calculate the area of trapezoids and other...

How random is random? Demonstrate the different random sampling methods using a hands-on activity. Pupils use various sampling techniques to choose a random sample of elements from the periodic table. They use the different samples to...

Find patterns in the process instead of the result. Learners convert series of decimals and fractions identifying patterns along the way. The lesson includes nine problem tasks with progressively more involved patterns.

We see percents everywhere! Building a solid understanding of their meaning is important to future mathematics, but also as citizens. Young scholars practice rewriting decimals, percents, and fractions. They also determine percents of a...

Each form of a linear equation has its purpose — pupils just have to find it. Building on the previous lesson in the series, learners examine point-slope and standard form. Using point-slope form, pupils write the equation of a...

Find the pattern is the name of the game! Learners examine different patterns represented by numbers, shapes, and words. They must describe the pattern, predict the result in a given position, and find an equation that...

Facilitate an understanding of equality using a modeling task. After watching different-sized cups being stacked, learners use their math skills to determine when the height of each cup tower will be the same. Meant as an introduction to...

Sweethearts® candies are a beloved Valentine's Day treat—so much so that eight billion hearts are produced every year around the world! Learners use number sense reasoning and critical thinking to solve nine word problems about the...

Solve systems of equations using the substitution or elimination method. Kids can practice by solving each of the five problems on this one-page learning exercise.

One step equations involving addition, subtraction, multiplication and subtraction.  Step by step methods of how to solve these equations and has practice problems for each operation.  Answers are provided.  As a...

Youngsters practice looking for the links to numeracy in their classes. This isn't a worksheet but a curriculum guide for an entire unit. Teachers can use any part of the resource to extend or inform their teaching practices related to...

Learners discuss Sol LeWitt and conceptual art, then analyze the differences in expressing a concept through model-based inquiry and aesthetic art criticism. They develop a geometric, scientific, or mathematical concept, then create an...

In this algebra worksheet, students are guided to choose the best method to solve problems using graphing, factoring, completing the square, and quadratic formula. There are 4 problems with an answer key.

In this system of equation worksheet, students use the substitution and elimination methods to solve systems of equations. Students must read a short story, write the equations the story represents, and then solve the systems of...

For this algebra worksheet, students solve systems of inequality using the graphing method. There are 5 questions with lots of examples and an answer key.

Students explore various approaches to solving a problem of maximizing the total production of apples in an orchard. In this apple orchard lesson, students collect data in order to solve the apple orchard problem presented. Students plot...

Students explore archeologists and anthropologists and the tools and methods they use to gather and interpret scientific evidence. They research current archaeological excavations and contact the scientists working at these digs.

Students build snow goggles similar to those used by the Inuit people. They create their version of the goggles to improve upon existing designs. Pupils compare the process used to invent snow goggles with that employed by the MESSENGER...
