Students participate in a lesson that covers the concepts of solving equations and inequalities. To master the concept they must demonstrate visually and verbally how both sides of an equation must be balanced. They construct a balanced...

Students subtract monomials and polynomials by combining like terms. In this advanced subtraction lesson, students define the rules and properties for subtraction of polynomials. They apply the rules for addition to help with the rules...

Students are introduced to the concept of variables and their uses. In groups, they are given a code in which they must find the value of the missing words. To end the lesson, they find the value of words over ten letters long and their...

To find x, you have to get it by itself, correct? Individuals solve a linear word problem and share their solutions with others that solved the problem in a similar fashion. They then complete a self-assessment on how they feel about...

Use tables, graphs, and substitution to solve systems of linear equations. An envelope of sample problems is passed around the classroom, and each learner has the opportunity to solve the system in the envelope. This is a great way to...

Don't cover up this resource — use it out in the open! Pupils learn how to cover up various parts of a linear equation in order to help solve the equation. A worksheet of problems provides practice with this skill.

  Explore the connection between a finite graph, a directed graph, and a matrix. Graph lines and identify the relationship of matrices in real-world scenarios. Then use this information to work with a partner to plan and design a...

Students complete a unit of lessons on computing area and volume. They play a Jeopardy game of basic area formulas, calculate surface area of shapes, develop a Powerpoint presentation, and conduct a simulation of finding the surface area...

The class explores the concept of complex numbers on a website to generate their own Mandelbrot sets. They will practice performing operations with complex numbers and then to get a visual understanding, graph the absolute value of a...

Students identify and use the commutative properties of addition and multiplication, associative properties of addition and multiplication, and the distributive property of multiplication over addition.

In this mass of the Moon worksheet, students use the lunar orbit and the orbit period to determine the mass of the Moon. They solve 4 problems including finding the mass of the Moon, determining the ratio of the Moon's mass to the...

Students solve right triangles using the Pythagorean Theorem.  In this solving right triangles using the Pythagorean Theorem lesson, students find the missing side of a right triangle.  Students find the hypotenuse given two...

Eleventh graders study how to combine like vector's that are matrices. In this matrix operations worksheet, 11th graders combine matrices linearly and define the matrix-matrix product and its properties. Students also study matrix...

Seventh graders develop an examineing of absolute value through real world situations. They develop an examineing of when absolute value can be used in a given situation.

Students explore the concept of solving two-step equations. For this solving two-step equations lesson, students watch a short video about solving equations. Students view a PowerPoint presentation about solving two-step equations....

Sixth graders work through a two-step equation with their teacher. After reviewing one-step equations, they complete a worksheet using tiles and colored pencils to complete two-step equations. To end the lesson, they write out the step...

Students solve systems of 2-by-2 linear equations using tables, graphs and substitution. In small groups, classmates work together to discover strategies for solving equations. They use a calculator to graphically represent their answers.

Eighth graders extend skills for representing and solving linear equations to linear inequalities. Lesson activities build understanding and skill by plotting ordered pairs of numbers that either satisfy or do not satisfy a given...

Students explore the process of inverse operations to solve square root problems. After exploring the perfect squares and area, students examine methods to find square roots by observing the teacher, taking notes, and listing vocabulary...

Student study addition properties. For this addition properties lesson, young scholars use multiple methods to solve various types of problems. Students illustrate and describe in various ways the Commutative Property of Addition....

Students investigate the concepts that are related to finance and how it is used in the world. They take part in activities that are focused around the use of a spreadsheet while using a T-chart to simulate a ledger of credits and debits.

Students will practice simplifying algebraic expressions using properties: identity, commutative, associative, and distributive. It provides downloadable PDF resources to go along with the lesson as well as an assessment plan.

This lesson plan teaches students how to recognize and apply the Identity Property and Equality Properties by simplifying algebraic expressions.

This Algebra lesson focuses on writing algebraic expressions to represent real-world problems, using the properties of numbers to simplify expressions, and evaluating equations by isolating the variable.
