Students solve word problems using systems of equation. In this algebra lesson, students use computer and graphing to graph and analyze their solution. They solve system involving inequalities.

Eighth graders experiment with a bathroom scale, books and a plank to determine how weight readings change as distance is applied. They graph and interpret the results.

Students develop the concept of supply and demand. For this economics lesson, students listen to a lecture and take notes on supply and demand. Students create a coherent set of notes about supply and demand.

In this math worksheet, young scholars solve the problems that are correlated with the objectives. Each practice set has an in depth example.

First graders explore patterns. They look for patterns in number problems and use algebra as a means of solving general problems. Students devise a strategy to solve the number problem.

Young scholars calculate the length, width, height, perimeter, area, volume, surface area, angle measures or sums of angle measures of common geometric figures. They create an equation of a line of best fit from a set of ordered...

High schoolers use an ancient math game to establish the context for solving problems by investigating them in a systematic and mathematical way. They also need to have the ability to solve various types of equations.

Students examine how driving a hybrid car can save money and cut down on pollution.  In this hybrid vehicles lesson students complete an exercise that shows them how to work with proportions, percents, dimensional analysis and...

Students create a list of products with estimated prices. In this algebra lesson, students learn to write equations using variables. They match their created list with that of actual products and compare their prices,

In this inequality instructional activity, students solve inequalities on a coordinate plane by graphing. The linear equations contain two variables. This one-page instructional activity contains ten problems.

Relate factors to zeros and x-intercepts. Scholars first graph quadratics in both standard and factored forms to see that they are the same. They go on to use the graphs to see the relationship between factors and x-intercepts.

Students discover patterns and write conjectures relating to perimeters and polygons. Working in cooperative learning groups, they use manipulatives and graphic organizers to solve problems then answer a series of questions in which they...

Students work together in groups to collect data in relationship to how much water marbles can displace. After the experiment, they use the data to identify the linear equation to determine the best-fit line. They use the equation to...

Twelfth graders solve first order differential equations using the separation of variables technique. In this calculus lesson, 12th graders explain the connection between math and engineering. They brainstorm what engineers do in real life.

Sixth graders apply problem solving strategies to work with a real life situation in which they need to determine the area. They determine the area of chicken runs that are rectangular in shape when give a partial perimeter.

Students attempt a problem that Students has the potential to have more than one solution. Hence the problem is accessible to a wide range of students. The problem is essentially about finding patterns and this is typical of a number of...

Learners use a game to establish the context of solving problems in a systematic and mathematical fashion. They also solve various types of equations to find reasonable solutions.

Students explore the concept of adding and subtracting using positive and negative numbers. In this addition and subtraction of signed numbers lesson, students use pennies to represent positive and negative numbers. Students deposit and...

Fourth graders listen to the problem to the class and think about how they solve the problem and to discuss it with their friends using number sentences in their written record of the solution.

Here is a quick guide to direct, joint, and inverse variation used in realistic situations. Each topic has a page of notes and examples followed by practice problems. The resource explains each type of variation and provides their...

This short handout addresses the concept of slope in two different ways: geometrically and analytically. Start with a brief description of slope, then use graphical representations to compare positive vs. negative slope and zero vs....

Ninth graders add and subtract polynomials.  In this Algebra I lesson plan, 9th graders work practice problems as they view a PowerPoint presentation of the lesson plan.  Both the horizontal and vertical methods of addition and...

In this substitution and elimination worksheet, students complete short answer problems for substitution and elimination and read notes about them as well. Students complete 13 problems.

Students build their own nation in groups where they create a name, flag, declaration of independence, form of government, mathematical layout, and more. In this nation lesson plan, students also provide a scale drawing of their nation...
