It's the stairway to learning! Scholars research all aspects of building a staircase. Using information from building codes, they write and graph a system of inequalities to analyze the constraints. The completed project is a scale model...

Get a line on the snakes. The assessment task requires the class to determine the species of unknown snakes based upon collected data. Individuals analyze two scatter plots and determine the most likely species for five...

Find that slope! This video does an excellent job of demonstrating how to use the slope formula to find the slope of a line using two points. The instructor first reviews the definition of slope of a line, then works three problems using...

Young scholars explore circular functions. They identify the amplitude, period, phase shift and vertical shift of circular functions. Students analyze phenomena described by sine waves and they find mathematical models for transforming...

Students draw conclusions and make conjectures given a specific scenario. In this geometry instructional activity, students model real life scenarios using properties of triangles. They model number facts and explain why the outcome is...

Everyone loves math when it includes food! This lesson plan tries to take the notion of combining like terms in algebra and comparing it to sorting apples and oranges. It takes a step-by-step approach to helping young scholars understand...

Students use logical arguments and inductive reasoning to make or disprove conjectures. After observing a teacher led demonstration, students discover that the deductive process narrows facts to a few possible conclusions. In groups,...

Fourth graders find the range, mode, median, and mean for each of the data sets (height and shoe size). They discuss which measure of central tendency for each data set best represents the class and why. Students graph the shoe size and...

Compose and decompose sets of 13 and 14 and compare sets of each with your little learners. They use objects to construct sets of 13 and 14, record their answers, and compare sets in several different ways.

Students calculate the probability of an event occurring. In this probability lesson, students differentiate between independent, dependent or compound events. They find the range of the data.

Students collect data on the time of the ferry. For this algebra lesson, students use the data to predict a ferry schedule. They also compute the depth where oxygen would be needed when diving.

student make predictions or draw conclusions based on physical and visual representations of profit and sales. They model problems with physical materials and visual representations, and use models, graphs and tables to draw conclusions...

Fourth graders using the idea of "how many more squirts" fill a container to develop multiplicative thinking. They also investigate the idea of conservation of volume when working with oddly shaped containers. They attempt to use...

In this instructional activity, 8th graders will learn how to solve linear equations in one variable including equations with one solution, no solution, and infinite solutions.

Visualize solutions to one variable equations by performing a balancing act. This interactive exercise focuses on linear equations and mathematical reasoning to show how one variable equations need to stay balanced to be solved correctly...

A comprehensive guide for learning all about linear equations in one variable with definitions, how to solve them, solved examples, and practice questions.

After completing this tutorial, you'll know what a linear equation is and how to solve one using various arithmetic properties. Contains several definitions, problems with step-by-step solutions, and practice exercises. Includes links to...

This site is a great place for activity information on the concept of writing and solving one-step, one-variable, linear equations. Three other tabs are available besides the-What Is It? tab. They are Tips and Tricks, When Students Ask,...

Through this tutorial, which offers step-by-step examples, video explanations, and practice questions, you'll learn what linear equations are and how to solve and classify them.

This resource provides a look at linear equations and inequalities, from how to solve them to how to use them as models for word problems, with lots of examples.

When given a table, equation or verbal description, students will solve one- and two-variable equations and inequalities using algebraic steps or graphing methods.

Provides examples and a video lesson that illustrate how to solve systems of equations in two variables. [1:43]

This WebMath site explains how to enter your equation with one variable and solve for that variable. It explains step-by-step how to solve the equations and gives the final solutions.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this lesson students learn how to solve real-world problems using one-step equations. Students examine guided notes, review guided practice, watch instructional...
