Young mathematicians explore the maximun area for patio with the added complexity of finding the mimimum cost for construction. First, they maximize the area of a yard given a limited amount of fence and  plot width v. area on a...

Start this activity with a brief description of how to solve absolute value inequalities. A space is provided to help classify the inequalities into types (greater than, less than, or equal to) and for learners to show how to graph their...

Students in a college algebra class use graphs to solve inequalities. Using the coordinate graphing system, they represent the relationship between x and y intercepts. They practice solving equations with complex numbers and locate...

Students read real world problems, determine the variables, and set up the function using algebraic statements. After entering data into the graphing calculator, they display information in the form of graphs and scatter plots. ...

Students solve systems of equations. In this algebra lesson, students graph lines and identify the point of intersection. They identify the function to see if it is a function.

In this discrete least squares learning exercise, students use a linear algebra approach to discrete last squares approximation. This two-page learning exercise contains approximately 10 problems.

In this least squares approximation learning exercise, students use linear algebra to find the least square error and the equation of a line for given points. They find the equation of a parabola through provided points. This four-page...

Functions require an input in order to get an output, which explains why the answer always has at least two parts. After only three multi-part questions, the teacher can analyze pupils' strengths and weaknesses when it comes to...

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...

What did you do over your summer vacation. Young wage earners must compare summer job options, and determine when each job earn the same amount and what that amount be. This be done by creating, graphing, and solving systems of...

Young scholars create a spreadsheet to analyze functions. In this algebra lesson plan, students use spreadsheets to find the intersection of systems of equations. They identify the dependent and independent function as it relates to a line.

Students solve word problems using the correct math symbols. In this algebra lesson, students use the TI calculator to graph their equation and analyze it. They find the line of regression and use to draw conclusion.

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.

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 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.

In this algebra learning exercise, students figure out the equation of the general vector, they find the orthogonal basis and apply the formula to solve the problems.

Student are able to devise and use problem solving strategies to explore problems systematically and mathematically. They also form and solve various types of equations. This lesson requires some prior knowledge of equations.

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...

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...

In this language arts worksheet, students study 10 words in a word bank, then locate them in a word search puzzle. The words appear to be related to algebra; the meaning of the title is not known. There is one misspelled word in the word...

High schoolers devise a strategy to solve problems that is done in a systematic and mathematical fashion. The finding of the unknown value is the focus of the lesson. To solve linear equations proficiently is the skill of the lesson.
