Students solve systems of equations with fluency. In this algebra instructional activity, students graph, use elimination and substitution to solve systems of equations. They identify the point of intersection using algebra.

Eighth and ninth graders combine pairs of linear equations by multiplying and either adding or subtracting. They find the value of x in the pair of equations. They use substitution to find the value of y. Students use graphing to solve...

Students solve systems of 2-by-2 linear equations using tables, graphs and substitution. In small groups, classmates work together to discover strategies for solving equations. They use a calculator to graphically represent their answers.

What a great classroom resource! The intention of this lesson plan is to show that real-world math can and should be applied to the community in which your students reside. The class relates properties of equations to solving for species...

Number towers use addition or multiplication to ensure each level is equal. While this is common in factoring, it is often not used with algebraic equations. Solving these six questions relies on problem solving skills and being able to...

Round and round they go ... where they stop, only scholars will know. By writing systems of equations, classes determine the number of cars a roundabout can handle given specific constraints. Systems use up to six variables and become...

Examine parts of an expression in this algebra lesson. Ninth graders identify the properties of the coefficient and their behavior to the graph. They graph the equation on a TI to see their results.

This activity guides learners through an exploration of common transformations of the graph of a function. Given the graph of a function f(x), students generate the graphs of f(x + c), f(x) + c, and  cf(x) for...

Let your classes show you what they know! Use this pre-test to assess the current knowledge of your learners. The assessment includes all pre-algebra concepts related to functions: writing and graphing linear relationships, comparing...

Learners complete a 24 page unit. They solve expressions by plugging in values, and translate words into algebraic equations. Included are: mixed operations, square roots, exponents and negative numbers. This resource provides a good...

For this identify and equality properties worksheet, 9th graders solve and complete 14 different problems. First, they solve each equation for the given variable. Then, students name the property or properties illustrated by each...

In this verifying angle relationships instructional activity, 10th graders solve and prove various types of problems related to the verification process of various angle relationships. They complete each of the two proofs shown...

Students work to complete various algebraic equations using different methods. Given a word problem, students create a poster identifying the various parts of the equation as well as the solution to the problem. Posters are presented...

In this language arts activity, 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...

In this Algebra II worksheet, 11th graders use the properties of equality to solve multi-step equations in one variable.  The tow page worksheet contains explanation, guided examples, and fifteen practice problems.  Answers are...

Students watch the teacher demonstrate on an overhead projector how to graph various equations before the students try them on their own. They start with pencil and paper; once they grasp the concept they move on to punching in the...

Solve two-step equations using order of operation in this algebra lesson plan. Young mathematicians evaluate functions through substitution and apply the properties of exponents and negatives correctly. They complete the order of...

Solve systems of equation problems using four different methods: elimination by addition or subtraction, graphing, elimination by multiplication, and substitution. Middle schoolers are then given a series of "missions" to complete.

Graph inequalities and discuss the difference in their slopes. Learners observe rate of change as they compare linear, quadratic, and cubic functions.

In this calculus worksheet, students solve problems using integration. They solve exponential functions using differentiation formulas. There are 12 problems with an answer key.

You have to love lessons that foster problem solving strategies. This one has upper graders devise and employ their own strategy to solve given problems after they have used classics like guess/check, substitution, make a table, and look...

The rides at a theme park always have limits on weight or number of riders. This makes a natural example of the use of inequalities to solve real-world problems. Learners explore intuitive solutions using substitution to solve the...

Science equipment can be handy for math class, too. Scholars learn to solve one- and two-step linear equations by using the concept of a balance. They solve real-world problems in a variety of contexts by writing and solving linear...

Determining the number of solutions is an important stepping stone to higher math. In this case, the resource asks algebra pupils to find a second linear equation for a certain solution of a system. When one is asked for a linear...
