Welcome learners to the world of algebra. Use a lesson that poses a situation involving the profit from creating greeting cards to teach about algebra. It requires scholars to use linear functions and inequalities to solve problems.

This is not your typical Ferris wheel problem. In this exercise, your class will combine their knowledge of sinusoidal functions as well as linear motion to come up with parametric equations that model the position of a point on the edge...

Students graph a quadratic inequality and describe its solution set. They solve a system of quadratic equalities graphically and symbolically and as related to a real-world context.

An interesting instructional activity on hypothesizing about the diameter of a drop of blood that is splattered. To test their theories, learners work in groups to make blood droplets splatter from different heights. They use graphed...

More on the fictitious takeover of the Apple Corporation by Microsoft. In this scenario, Microsoft has $28.00 per share to spare, so how many do they need to offer to make an even trade? This is an engaging problem to solve when...

Explore logarithms and logarithmic regression. Young mathematicians first learn about inverse functions and about the logarithm function family. They take their newfound knowledge to use logarithmic functions to model situations and...

Expand your pupils' vocabulary! Learn how to use statistical vocabulary regarding linear models. The activity teaches scholars the appropriate terminology for bivariate data analysis. To complete the module, individuals use linear...

Students study a variety of math concepts in the context of cooking up a meal. In this math activity, students calculate surface area and volume. They draw and interpret different types of graphs.

Students use the quadratic formula to solve application problems. The first problem relates to the path of a football thrown from the top of the bleachers. Students compute the time it will take the football to reach certain heights. In...

Young scholars investigate the concept of using quadratic data to plot coordinates on a plane. They also apply the quadratic formula for a variety of problems with the help of a graphing calculator to draw the parabola for given...

Young scholars represent quadratic equations using different methods. In this algebra lesson plan, students solve quadratics using substitution, elimination and graphing. They relate quadratics to the real world.

Students solve quadratic equations and identify the vertex. In this algebra lesson, students factor quadratic equations and identify the different properties of a parabola. They graph the functions using the vertex and intercepts.

Students explore the concept of the associative, commutative, and distributive properties. In the associative, commutative, and distributive properties lesson, students discuss real world examples of each property. Students demonstrate...

Sixth graders practice translating verbal expressions into algebraic expressions. In this introductory algebra lesson, 6th graders practice writing written/verbal sentences into algebraic expressions and vice versa. Students also review...

Learners participate in a lesson in order to practice using systems of equations in order to graph them. A cumulative project in the form of a brochure, web page, or interactive kiosk make this lesson more engaging.

Investigate the order of operations! Learners participate in interactive multi-media activities to examine and solve multi-step equations, inequalities. They evaluate formulas and simplify monomials and polynomials.

Students, after reading an explanation from a NASA Web-based textbook, demonstrate an understanding of the text by using it, along with FoilSim, to complete an activity to graph and interpret the lift equation.

What are constraints and how can they be represented mathematically? This instructional slideshow provides an explanation and an example of how to translate constraints into algebraic inequalities.

Pupils engage in a lesson that has them practice solving equations using multiplication and division. They practice solving problems using the properties needed and then students practice changing word problems into an equation.

A six-day unit for algebra II on exponential and logarithmic functions builds upon Chapter 12 of Merrill Algebra II with Trigonometry; Applications and Connections. The text provides assistance in the depth of instruction...

Collect and analyze data. Pupils graph their data and model with it to solve real life problems. They use logic and deductive reasoning to draw conclusions.

Seventh graders investigate the concept of functions and how they are used in the context of the real world while identifying the dependent and independent variables. They graph relations and functions and find the zeros of functions....

Students determine the vertex, y-intercept and direction of a parabola and write an explanation of how to graph a parabola. They collect and graph data using a calculator.

Many things in life take the shape of a polynomial curve. Learners design a polynomial function to model a riverbed. Using different strategies, they find the flow rate through the river.
