Now it becomes crystal clear why the unit is called Mixtures and Solutions. The fifth installment of a six-part unit explores mixtures and solutions. After viewing a demonstration on mixing pebbles with water, salt with water, and...

Solve two-step equations using order of operation in this algebra lesson plan. Young mathematicians evaluate functions through substitution and apply the properties of exponents and negatives correctly. They complete the order of...

Explore patterns in the multiplication table in order to deepen your third graders' understanding of this essential skill. Implement this activity as a whole-class lesson, allowing young scholars to work in pairs or small groups to...

Use the distributive property to solve equations. The sixth lesson in a 33-part series has scholars solve equations that need to be transformed into simpler equations first. Class members apply the distributive property to the equations...

High schoolers discover properties of parallelograms as they construct a parallelogram using Cabri Jr. They will measure angles and side lengths of their construction and determine the relationship between the diagonals of a...

Young scholars study the properties of circles. In this circles lesson, students read a word problem about circles. Young scholars watch a video about the activity and then practice drawing the circle solution to the problem. Students...

Who says math is boring? Turn dry concepts like properties and vocabulary into an interesting lesson! Examine the commutative and associative properties of addition and multiplication using geometric reinforcement. Through collaboration,...

Challenge the class to prove that the dilation properties always hold. The instructional activity develops an informal proof of the properties of dilations through a discussion. Two of the proofs are verified with each class member...

What properties does area possess? Solidify the area properties that pupils learned in previous years. Groups investigate the five properties using four problems, which then provide the basis for a class discussion.

Investigate dilations to learn more about them. The second segment in a series of 16 provides a discussion of properties of dilations by going through examples. The problem set provides opportunities for scholars to construct dilations.

In this algebra worksheet, 11th graders solve logarithmic problems using the properties of logs. They condense and expand logs using the correct properties. There are 78 problems with an answer key.

Practice relating linear equations to quadratic equations and identify the properties of a quadratic equation. Draw a quadratic equation and assess how the coefficients a, b, and c affect the shape of a parabola. Create a model of each...

A fascinating and engaging lesson on the properties of water awaits you. In it, learners engage in four activities that are designed to teach about the properties of water. This exciting plan has worksheets embedded in it which make the...

The number of basic algebraic properties can become overwhelming for learners. A lesson explains and gives examples for all the basic algebraic properties. The resource is perfect to use as a way for pupils to organize and...

Eighth graders combine like terms in this properties of variables lesson. Using named items (stars, moons and hearts), they combine like terms using variables. They use the distributive property to combine like terms. Finally, they write...

Solving an equation is the art of creating simpler equivalent equations using properties of equality. Here, classes see that solving an equation is not always as easy as guessing. The lesson presents linear equations that scholars must...

Develop an understanding of the properties of exponents through this series of activities. This third lesson of 15 explores the patterns associated with the power property. Scholars expand the powers before applying the property.

Build a definition of congruence from an understanding of rigid transformations. The instructional activity asks pupils to explain congruence through a series of transformations. Properties of congruence emerge as they make comparisons...

Explore the definitions of algebraic properties through a hands-on activity. Individuals cut and paste examples and match them to the correct properties. After examining the provided examples, pupils create examples of their own.

Properly teach properties with three activities that allow learners to investigate properties of real numbers. The resource covers the identity properties for addition and multiplication, the inverse property for multiplication, and the...

You can explain it, but can you do it? After learners view a sequence of transformations, the next logical step is creating the transformation. Challenge your classes to construct a composition of transformations and verify the...

Learners investigate properties of similar figures. In this properties of similar figures lesson, pupils construct similar figures using Cabri Jr. They dilate their figure to create a similar one, and discuss the relationships between...

In this algebra worksheet, high schoolers apply various properties of logarithms to transform and evaluate logarithmic expressions. There are four questions.

Is there one, none, or more? Through discussion or activity, scholars find the properties of an equation that will determine the number of solutions. They then use the properties discovered to figure out the number of solutions...
