Think critically — and linearly by applying linear equations to solve real-world problems. Young mathematicians write equations to model the profit on popcorn and cotton candy at a carnival and solve problems using these equations.

Horses need exercise, too. Scholars create linear equations to model the perimeter of exercise fields for horses. They finish by solving their equations for the length and width of the fields.

For this brightness of stars worksheet, students use a given formula using the temperature in Kelvins of a star to find its brightness. Students solve 4 problems using this equation.

In this surface area and volume worksheet, students solve 4 short answer and multiple choice problems.  Students find the volume and surface area of cylinders and prisms.

Fourth graders are introduced to arithmetic and geometric sequences. In this mathematics lesson plan, 4th graders produce a variety of sequences by varying the starting number, multiplier, and the add-on number.

In this modeling the Keeling Curve activity, students use given data beginning in 1960 to create a mathematical model for the changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide over time. Students manipulate the equation to predict the carbon dioxide...

Eleventh graders investigate the way credit cards work when collecting interest. For this algebra lesson, 11th graders investigate the growth of interest exponentially when using a credit card. They calculate what the cheapest rate is to...

Students make informed choices among technology systems, resources, and services. They select and apply technology tools for research, information analysis, problem solving, and decision making in content learning.

Students examine complex numbers. In this Algebra II lesson, students investigate two programs that involve complex numbers: the MANDELER Program and SYNDIV program.

Students work with Ellipses in Algebra II. In this algebra lesson, students solve an equation with a radical expression. They graph ellipses and write an equation for them.

Need more detail in showing your class how to solve two-step equations and proportions? This lesson plan outlines the steps young mathematicians need to solve simple equations and check their results. 

High schoolers use an interactive website or cd rom to graph equations. The lesson plan is not very clearly written. The use of the website is essential or the educational software that can be purchased from the Prentice Hall publisher.

Students, while using a graphing calculator, graph systems of conic sections as well as identify their solutions. They complete various word problems dealing with conic sections with their calculators. In addition, students sketch graphs...

Students draw conclusions and make conjectures given a specific scenario. In this geometry lesson, students model real life scenarios using properties of triangles. They model number facts and explain why the outcome is what it is.

Students use problem solving skills to create various models of tricubes, tetracubes, and pentacubes. They classify the cubes into various groupings and identify them as mirror images, regular arrangements, and irregular arrangements....

In this rational exponents worksheet, students solve ten multiple choice and two free response math regents exam questions.  The solutions are provided.

Students factor polynomials and use long division t solve problems. In this algebra lesson, students find the zeros of polynomials by synthetic and long division. They perform operation using complex numbers.

Twelfth graders explore Derive.  In this Calculus instructional activity, 12th graders investigate the menus and tools available in Derive.  In addition to the familiarization part of the instructional activity, students...

In this math worksheet, students practice analyzing iterative methods. Then they use the reading to practice problem solving focusing upon convergence.

High schoolers collect and graph data. In this statistics lesson, students analyze their plotted data using a scatter plot. They identify lines as having positive, negative or no correlation.

In this math worksheet, students examine the concept of orders of convergence for a sequence. They practice finding the different rates of convergence.

Students measure and convert between units. In this geometry lesson, students investigate through measurements of distances. They relate the properties of circle to solving problems with radius, diameter and area.

Learners gain practice reading coordinates and plotting points by participating in the Coordinates! Game. They demonstrate and test their skills with graph paper and the Maze Game.
