Whether scholars understand independent and dependent variables depends on you. The 32nd installment of a 36-part series has learners analyze relationships in real-world problems through tables. They determine independent and dependent...

Once your math class is adept at writing expressions, challenge them with a few word problems! There are six real-world scenarios for which learners must come up with a representative variable expression. Take CCSS.Math.Content.6.EE.2.a...

In this two step equations worksheet, high schoolers solve 14 word problems in short answer format. Students write a linear equation and solve given a word problem.

In this system of equations worksheet, learners decide if the addition, subtraction, or substitution method works best for 15 problems of two equations and two unknowns and then use the preferred method to solve the system. Theys are...

Through exploration of linear programming through graphs and equations of inequalities, students relate linear programming to real life scenarios, such as business. Graphing and shading is also part of this exercise.

It's time to show off what they learned! The final lesson in the series is a review activity on the topics learned throughout the unit. Scholars solve systems of equations using graphic and algebraic methods, solve system-based word...

In this algebra worksheet, students solve quadratic equations by factoring and foiling. There are 20 problems, including 2 real world application problems.

In this algebra worksheet, students write equations from a given diagram. They relate these problems with functions having to do with inputs and outputs. There are 10 diagrams to be deciphered.

Use this worksheet to write equations in both point-slope form and slope-intercept form. Start by writing equations given one point and the slope and finish by writing equations given two points and a few real-world applications. The...

Groups explore illumination with NASA's Lighting Environment Test Facility (LETF) as a context. Using the TI-Nspire app, groups determine the lux equation that models their simulation. They then use the lux equation to...

This activity gets at the heart of algebraic reasoning and setting up equations with one variable to solve real-world problems. The worksheet has only one problem, but it requires that learners first use their own reasoning...

What an impressive task it is to make dental impressions! Pupils learn how dentists use proportional reasoning, unit conversions, and systems of equations to estimate the materials needed to make stone models of dental impressions....

For this properties of real numbers worksheet, 9th graders solve 10 different problems that include applying various properties for real numbers. First, they identify the property of real numbers that is demonstrated in each problem....

An inquiry-based algebra activity explores real-world applications of linear functions. Scholars investigate four different situations that can be modeled by linear functions, identifying the rate of change, as well as the...

In this linear equations activity, students solve six linear equations and check their work. Then they translate the next 4 problems into an equation and solve those too. Students first combine like terms when necessary and then solve...

In this absolute value equations activity, students solve ten absolute value equations. They first set the quantity inside the absolute value sign equal to the positive and negative value on the other side of the equal sign. Students...

Scholars determine how two quantities vary with respect to each other. They complete a fill-in-the-blank activity by stating whether the entities vary directly, inversely, or jointly, create equations that match different variations, and...

Creating equations with one variable  to solve real-world-type problems is a key skill any algebra learner needs to master. Here the focus is on realizing that one can write the equation in different ways depending upon how one...

Scholars identify and continue the numerical pattern for the number of wheels on a train. Using the established pattern and its inverse, they determine whether a number of wheels is possible. Pupils finish...

Determine the better deal. Pupils write the equation for the cost of printing tickets from different printers. They compare the costs graphically and algebraicaly to determine which printer has the best deal based upon the quantity of...

Often inequalities exist in many real-world contexts but young math learners struggle with understanding how to represent that relationship in a simple equation using an inequality. This activity focuses on the basic concepts by using...

In this math worksheet, students solve the problems that involve linear equations. They substitute the values given for each variable.

Young analysts use real (provided) data from a class's test scores to practice using statistical tools. Not only do learners calculate measures of center and spread (including mean, median, deviation, and IQ range), but...

Your algebra learners become bankers for a day as they explore compounding interest and the formula used to calculate the balance in a savings account. Questions guide the learners as they analyze the formula's parts and their connection...
