Pre-algebra pupils need to understand that two expressions are only equal if they have the same value. Show them that once the expression is multiplied by a number, the value of the expression changes. It makes for a good lead-in to...

Learners discuss and review examples of the Pythagorean Theorem using a GSP, Geometer's Sketchpad, activity.

What do you do with a difficult-to-factor quadratic expression? This lesson provides the answer. Pupils learn a grouping strategy to help factor trinomials. When guess and check seems too tedious, this method is the "works every...

Pupils solve quadratic equation by graphing. In this algebra lesson, students use the TI calculator to get a visual of their graph. They create a table of values, plot their points and graph the parabola.

Seventh graders solve inequalities using addition and subtraction. They write number sentences based on word problems.

In this algebra worksheet, students solve inequalities using addition, subtractions and multiplication. They graph the inequalities with shading. There are 2 questions.

In this acid-base reaction worksheet, students calculate the ion concentration and pH for 6 solutions, graph titration results for 11 reactions and use Henderson-Hasselbach equations for three problems.

In this proportion worksheet, students use proportions to find the missing side of similar triangles, they identify the percent of a number, and graph points on a coordinate plane. Students solve real life story problems dealing with...

In this calculus worksheet, students review topics they need to already understand in order to be successful in a basic calculus course. Topics include functions, linear equations, coordinate graphing, piece-wise formulation, exponents,...

Tell the story of the math. Given a graph of a linear system, learners write a story that models the graph before crafting the corresponding functions. Graphs intersect at an estimated point, allowing for different variations in the...

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.

Young analysts use real (provided) data from a class's test scores to practice using statistical tools. Not only do learners calculate measures of center and spread (including mean, median, deviation, and IQ range), but...

Following detailed directions, teams collect the voltage and current outputs of a photovoltaic cell by adjusting the resistance. Using the collected data, they determine the highest power output. Implications for weather and a large...

In this algebra worksheet, students solve quadratic equations and factor using complete the square. There are 20 problems. 

Students investigate the concept of exponential functions and how they increase in size over time. They simplify the functions in order to find the solutions that are possible and perform analysis of the curved line that is produced when...

Students must use their mathematical reasoning skills in order to make four math statements true by filling in the boxes with the correct digits. Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division problems appear.

Seventh graders graph solutions for inequalities on a number line. They solve 1 and 2 step inequalities in one variable. Students also check solutions to 1 and 2 step equations in one variable

For 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...

In this math worksheet, young scholars solve five problems, identifying each property as it is used. They identify the used property in 9 problems.

In this calculus activity, students identify functions as linear or nonlinear, homogeneous versus nonhomogeneous by using the reduction power theorem. There are 5 questions.

Prompt scholars to complete a magic square using only variables. Then they can attempt to solve a numerical magic square using algebra.
