Scholars first complete an individual assignment using a quadratic equation to model the movement of a bus around a corner. Learners then discuss their solutions with classmates and analyze the provided sample responses.

Find the faster rate. The resource tasks the class to compare proportional relationships represented in different ways. Pupils find the slope of the proportional relationships to determine the constant rates. They then analyze the...

Word problems offer class members an opportunity to learn the concept of solving linear systems using graphs. Individuals choose a problem based upon preferences, break into groups to discuss solution methods and whether there...

Identify the identity. Learners first solve equations to find the number of solutions. Scholars then determine if given equations are always, sometimes, or never true, leading to the concept of identities.

They claim there are problems on the assessment. The presentation provides 13 questions that demonstrate the problem-solving claim for Smarter Balanced assessments. Teachers use the resource to provide examples of problem-solving...

Scholars develop the conversion formulas between Fahrenheit and Celsius with a task that presents the class with two known temperature equivalents between the two scales. Pupils use those two points to develop the linear conversion...

Bothered by a wobbly table? Learn how to fix this problem using concepts of slope and continuity. Pupils first consider the problem in two dimensions and then progress to three dimensions. The solution is really quite simple.

In this math worksheet, students learn to read a word problem, write an equation, solve for the variable and write and label the answer. There are examples given at the top of the page although directions tell students to "use...

If I want to build up my heart, where should I start? Science scholars use statistics in a sports physiology setting during an insightful experiment. Groups measure resting and active heart rates and develop a scatter plot that shows the...

In this solving equations worksheet, students solve and complete 16 different types of problems. First, they simplify using the inverse of addition or subtraction. Then, students simplify further by using the inverse of multiplication or...

How can you solve systems of linear equations? This slideshow introduces learners to the substitution method, the elimination method using addition and subtraction, and the elimination method using multiplication. Guided practice...

Creating equations with one variable  to solve real-world-type problems is a key skill any algebra learner needs to master. Here the focus is on realizing that one can write the equation in different ways depending upon how one...

Kids learn what it means to use a letter in place of a number in an equation. They complete a series of number sequences and compose rules using letters and numbers. This is a good way to introduce the concept to elementary-aged learners.

Put your mathematicians to the test and see if they can solve this worksheet full of multi-step equations with rational numbers. Add, subtract, multiply, and divide with fractions and decimals to solve for x. The top of the worksheet has...

You can't go wrong with a lesson that involves candy! Learners solve and graph one-variable inequalities and use candy to graph the solution. Individuals associate open circle graphs with life savers and closed circle graphs with round...

Investigate the relationship between height and arm span. Young statisticians measure the heights and arm spans of each class member and create a scatter plot using the data. They draw a line of best fit and use its slope to explain the...

In this number sense and operations worksheet, learners solve 15 different types of problems that include reading number lines and solving inequalities. First, they write the scientific notation of various numbers given. Then, pupils...

Direct change by finding the constant. Using two known values within a direct proportion, the resource shows how to find the constant of proportionality. Once individuals do that, they then find any value given the other. The video works...

In this Algebra I/Algebra II worksheet, students solve multi-step equations in one variable in which one side of the equation requires that like terms are combined.  The one page worksheet contains a combination of five...

In this algebraic equation worksheet, students solve simple algebraic equations containing integers and fractions. They solve for the unknown. This four-page worksheet contains 20 multi-step problems.
