Students factor quadratic equations. In this algebra lesson, students apply the binomial square theorem to solve quadratics. They complete the square and use the complex number system to solve for the roots.

Students explore the concept of algebra in real world situations. In this economics lesson, students design, plan, run, and evaluate a small business. Students will create a product, market the product, and try to make a profit.

Ask your algebra learners to write an equation that has unit constraints. This commentary talks about the constraints, but does not show them in the equation. It is important that your mathematicians understand that the units apply to...

High schoolers organize data from the USA TODAY Snapshot, "Is leisure time really shrinking?" into two scatter plots and determine the quadratic model for each scatter plot. They determine if these graphs intersect and learn the concept...

Pupils, while using a graphing calculator, graph systems of conic sections as well as identify their solutions. They complete various word problems dealing with conic sections with their calculators. In addition, students sketch graphs...

Sometimes the best view is from the farthest distance. Satellite imaging makes it possible to create altitude maps from far above the earth. A three-part activity has your young scientists play the role of the satellite and then use...

Ninth graders discuss the real number system and its' properties. In this algebra lesson, 9th graders discuss rational, irrational, closure, real numbers and the distributive property of algebra. They solve problems using these...

In this algebra worksheet, students calculate the slope of a line. They graph a linear equation given the slope and y-intercept and identify the slope and y-intercept given a linear graph. There are 15 questions.

Learners analyze linear functions in this algebra lesson. They explore the meaning of slope and the slope-intercept form of a line as they investigate the effect changing parameters on the graph of a linear function.
