Students solve systems of equations graphically. In this algebra lesson, 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 discuss the meaning of balance and how it applies to equations. After listening to a lecture, they practice solving equations with two orders of operation and doing whatever they do on one side to the other side as a class. To...

Nothing fancy here ... just your run-of-the-mill Algebra party! Learners explore the patterns of linear functions while designing seating arrangements for a dinner party. Comparing the number of tables to the perimeter of the combined...

Students conduct an ice melting investigation in which they observe and measure the melting of two ice spheres. They develop a hypothesis as to which sphere will melt the fastest, collect data every ten minutes, and graph the data using...

Young scholars compare two lengths using the area of a square. In this geometry lesson plan, students solve problems using ratio and proportion of the two shapes. They solve equations by taking the square root of both sides.

Students investigate polynomials. In this algebra lesson, students solve problems dealing with multiplication of polynomials by using the distributive property and the FOIL method. Students also describe how the...

Welcome learners to the world of algebra. Use a lesson that poses a situation involving the profit from creating greeting cards to teach about algebra. It requires scholars to use linear functions and inequalities to solve problems.

Walk the class through the steps of how to evaluate linear inequalities in one variable and graph the solution set. Define and discuss key vocabulary terms, then have individuals work problems of varying difficulty. Included are word...

In this systems of inequalities worksheet, students solve systems of equations. Afterward, they shade in all possible answers on a coordinate plane. This two-page worksheet contains five multi-step problems.

Exponential functions and their growth rates are explored concretely using tables in a collaborative task. Then the successive quotient is explored algebraically.

Bring algebra to life with scientific applications. Math minded individuals calculate and graph the time it takes a bacterium to double. They discuss geometric sequences and use a chart to graph their findings. There are 38...

Youngsters become flexible problem solvers with this challenging lesson. If there are 24 square tables in a restaurant, how many customers can be seated at one time? They can use manipulatives or draw pictures to help them find the...

Middle schoolers work together to solve word problems. They examine the concepts of functions and relations. They develop plans for roles in the play they are creating.

Learners graph inequalities and solve the equations. In this algebra lesson, students graph their solutions on a number line and create an inequality for a word problem.

Middle schoolers engage in a study of equations and how they are solved using algebraic methods. This overrides the fact of guessing as done in earlier grades. They cover the concept of inverse operations as the main way to manipulate...

Learners calculate the maxima and minima of quadratic equations. In this calculus lesson, students apply the derivatives by finding the maxima and minima using real life application. They solve optimization using the derivative.
