Sixth graders work with equivalent fractions, decimals, and percents. In this equivalency instructional activity, 6th graders participate in a number of activities aimed at increasing their understanding of equivalent expressions. They...

Fourth graders study about sound waves and how they behave in various media. They create a soundproofed container. They explain that velocity describes a change in distance over time.

Students investigate the acidity and alkalinity of common household products in an experiment. They use red cabbage juice and litmus paper to show the difference between strong acids and bases as they work with vinegar, dish washing...

Students explore number sense by completing a statistical analysis game in class. In this data graphing lesson, students utilize visual references such as colored cubes and tiles to map out the results of an experiment outcome such as a...

Students analyze velocity and how it is determined. They experiment with velocity in order to measure and calculate the magnitude of speed. They use examples in their novel "Skateboard Renegade" to relate velocity to real life situations.

Students compete in playground games in order to review velocity and wave behavior in real life situations. They demonstrate understanding by calculating velocity in their "Playground Games" packet.

First graders complete center activities as they practice their addition and subtraction skills. They listen to Rick Walton's, "How Many, How Many, How Many" before playing games, and completing addition and subtraction worksheets at...

In this introduction to approximation theory, students compute the slope and intercept of a line. They describe nonlinear relationships. This four page worksheet contains approximately five problems.

Young scholars investigate growing patterns. In this additive patterns lesson, students analyze the core of growing patterns. Young scholars extend additive patterns based on the core.

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...

In this Algebra II worksheet, 11th graders investigate matrix multiplication. The two page worksheet includes instructions and examples and two problems. Solutions are included.   

Middle schoolers will learn and reinforce skills for solving for unknowns, manipulating equations while keeping them in balance, using formulas to solve real-world challenges, and working with proportions, radicals and exponents.

This tutorial models how to solve word problems which state that one unknown variable is greater or less than another. Includes detailed explanations of sample problems and ten practice questions to try.

Get independent practice determining if the variable value given is a solution for the equation. Each incorrect response gets a text box explanation and another try. Correct responses are confirmed.

Examples and video tutorials that teach how to solve equations that contain unknown variables.

Solve a linear equation for a variable where the coefficients are represented by letters. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video, or receive hints.

Children will learn the term variable and then work to "attack" a problem using what they know about the relationship between multiplication and division to solve for an unknown.

Students will solve rational equations for unknown variables, use given information to create rational equations, and determine the relationship between rational expressions.

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.

The lesson plan provided here gives a step-by-step set of instructions for balancing an equation in order to find the value of the unknown variable. After two examples are worked through, 10 practice problems are given, as well as their...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this lesson, students learn how to solve multi-step equations by combining like terms. Students examine guided notes, review example problems, watch instructional...

Solve for an unknown value x with this fractions calculator. Find the missing fraction variable in the proportion using cross multiplication to calculate the unknown variable x. Solve the proportion between 2 fractions and calculate the...

Students can input an equation and have the site solve it for them, complete with steps shown and explanations given along the way. Equations must be simple, first- or second-degree with only one variable. A quick list of rules to follow...

In this task, two brothers track how many games they have each won. Students are asked to make calculations based on the percentage of games won. They set up a rational equation (and a rational inequality) in one variable, and then solve...
