Students compute the length of time it will take to save enough money to purchase a yo-yo. For this math lesson, students create a design with pennies and write the associated linear equation. In this linear equations lesson, students...

Students research Pythagoras and learn how to apply his theorem. They solve real life problems using the theorem and demonstrate knowledge of exponents, equations, and radicals. Students include diagrams in their research papers.

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...

Word problems can make even expert mathematicians go blank. Practice solving word problems with an extended version of the GUESS method (givens, unknowns, equations, solve, substitute), which adds the steps of drawing a diagram, making...

Quadratics and height application problems go hand in hand like teenagers and sleeping in. High schoolers must look at the equation of a diver's height and calculate such features as the height of dive board, time entering the water, and...

Learners model a real-life scenario by writing a two-step algebra equation and solving it, as they complete this learning exercise. Ten practice word problems on one piece of paper are nicely prepared just for your young algebra...

When you have to flow, you have to flow. The instructional activity introduces class members to microfluidic devices and their uses in medicine. They watch a short video on how the diameter affects the rate of flow. The worksheet has...

In this linear systems instructional activity, students solve systems of equations using three different methods: substitution, adding and subtracting, and graphing. This two-page instructional activity contains three multi-step problems.

Students solve systems of equations graphically. In this algebra lesson plan, students find the point of intersection of two lines if they are not parallel. They rewrite the equation in the y=mx + b form and graph using slope and intercept.

Students solve systems of equations algebraically. In this algebra lesson, students solve systems using substitution and elimination. They solve linear and quadratic systems.

Students solve systems of equations. For this algebra lesson, students use elimination and substitution to solve for the point of intersection. They use graphing to see where the two lines intersect.

In this differential worksheet, students read a word problem and write a differential equation and solve it. They draw the slope field for given problems. This two-page worksheet contains 9 multi-step problems.

Third graders use graphing calculators to graph equations. They make visual models of algebraic expressions and they can readily see that an equation represents something.

Pupils study linear and non-linear equations. After a teacher demonstration, they use calculators to solve and graph equations. They distinguish the difference between linear and non-linear equations.

What do yo-yos and pennies have to do with linear equations? Learn about writing and solving linear equations while considering the Yo-Yo Problem and Penny Pattern Exploration from the High School Math Project. Learners utilize algebra...

Use this series of activities to introduce learners to graphing functions. They graph both linear and quadratic equations by hand and with a Graph Sketcher Tool. Several imbedded links and handouts are included in the lesson.

Combine math, creative writing, and leprechauns in a fun St. Patrick's Day activity! Using a bag of gold coins and marshmallows, kids write a math story about a leprechaun that includes a multi-step equation to solve.

Engage in a hands-on addition and subtraction activity that is a wonderful tie-in with ocean studies. As the teacher, you will make up equations using construction paper and goldfish crackers.

Tenth graders explore mathematics by participating in hands-on daily activities. Learners identify a list of different shapes and classify them by shape, size, sides and vertices. They utilize tangrams and geometric pieces to gain...

Develop an understanding of algebraic sequences through an exploration of patterns. Five leveled problems target grade levels from elementary through high school. Each problem asks young mathematicians to recognize a geometric pattern....

Solve equations and graph systems of inequalities. Designed as a lesson to reinforce these concepts, learners revisit shading and boundaries along with solving linear inequalities.

How are skyscrapers built? What does it take to make a structurally sound building? How can one work within a budget to complete a building project? These guiding questions will be investigated and answered within a hands-on...

Sew up pupil interest with an engaging, hands-on instructional activity. Learners first design a sports bag given constraints on the dimensions of fabric. They then evaluate provided sample responses to identify strengths and weaknesses...

Your young basketball players will build a table and develop a general formula for a decaying exponential scenario involving the rebound distance of a bouncing ball. Using a CBR and graphing calculator can make this even more hands-on...
