Help plan a road trip with linear equations. Scholars consider two different rental car companies and write equations representing the cost for each company. They graph the system of equations to determine the conditions under which each...

Fifth and sixth graders compare decimals to the place-value structure in the base-ten number system. They represent fractions as parts of unit wholes, as parts of a set, as locations on a number line, and as divisions of whole numbers....

Create a linear equation for a problem when the intercept information is not given. The two-day lesson introduces the class to the point-slope form, which can be used for problems when the initial conditions are not provided. Pupils...

The sixteen problems in this resource present opportunities for pupils to practice substituting into algebraic expressions. Scholars evaluate algebraic expressions for given values of the variables. In a few cases, class members need to...

In this using inverse operations to solve fraction equations worksheet, students review the steps and examples, solve the problem, and use substitution to check their answer. Students solve one problem.

In this solving quadratics activity, 10th graders write radicals in the simplest form. They solve quadratics by factoring, completing the square, and through the use of the quadratic formula. Students determine the vertex and axis of...

In this half-life activity, students are guided through the steps of solving radioactive decay problems. They solve nine problems finding rates of decay, half-life and quantities of substances remaining after given amounts of time.

There is only one introductory algebra word problem here and an explanation is detailed below. Because of this format, consider projecting it as an all-class warm up. Learners examine a scenario where Sam can fill a box in three minutes,...

In this single digit division of whole numbers zero through nine activity, 3rd graders problem solve twenty division equations while showing each step of their work.

In this math learning exercise, students practice solving systems of linear equations using the elimination and substitution methods. They also graph the solutions.

This study guide is a great resource to help you present the steps to graphing linear inequalities. Show your class two different ways to graph an inequality and work on a real-world example together. The document could also be easily...

Pupils learn to solve square root equations and rationalize denominators. Problems include those with extraneous solutions. 

Graph equations of lines using the slope-intercept method or by plotting both x and y intercepts. Determine if two lines are parallel or perpendicular by comparing their slopes. This handout includes step-by-step directions and four...

Ready to study inequalities with your class? Use this activity to solve multi-step inequalities and graph the solutions. The document would be great to use as a study guide as you present the material, or could easily be modified and...

Teach your class to think outside the box. Scholars use the concept of equality to solve a problem in the assessment task. They determine how to use a scale to identify the one box out of a set of nine boxes that is heavier than the others.

Find the percent of the population that meets the criteria. The 17th segment of a 20-part unit presents problems that involve percents of a population. Pupils use tape diagrams to create equations to find the percents of subgroups...

Ever wonder how a butcher creates the different types of ground beef? Young mathematicians explore the methods butchers use to create their desired ground beef quality. Given a combination of two types of meat with varying...

Graph A goes with equation C, but table B. The short assessment task requires class members to match graphs with their corresponding tables, equations, and verbalized rules. Pupils then provide explanations on the process they used to...

Young scholars read multiple step story problems and solve by adding and subtracting. They solve five problems.

Can your class write linear equations three different ways? Here is a study guide that includes slope-intercept, standard, and point-slope forms. Learners are given the slope and a point on the line, or two points and are asked to write...
