Middle schoolers complete one and two digit number word problems containing variables. They complete 10 multiple choice questions.

Solving systems of equations with a twist! If you are looking for something out of the ordinary, then this is the problem for you. For this scenario, some money is found on the ground and you need to determine if it belongs in the cash...

Students create addition sentences. They review number lines and how to jump between numbers to solve equations. They play the "Magic Number" game by using a spreadsheet and guessing numbers. They discuss how they found the magic numbers.

Students make equations from everyday data. They create a graph from the equations. Students predict and analyze the results. Students complete the second scenario on their own and turn in their handout.

Middle schoolers explore grouping symbols to mathematical equations to discover the importance of the "order of operations." Learners compare the absence of commas in connected text to the absence of grouping symbols in mathematical...

Here is a great opportunity to introduce your mathematicians to a food they may never have heard of, quinoa. It may help to show a short video on quinoa, or make some quinoa for the class to try. Once they get over how to say quinoa,...

How do you solve equations with more than one variable? Scholars view a video that explains solving literal equations as simply an extension of solving simple equations. Once they have a handle on the concept, they work on several...

Use manipulatives (film cans and balance scales) to visualize and solve equivalent equations with your math class. After a lecture/demo, they utilize handouts and solve various equations using the methods learned.

This resource should be called "All About Lines, and Then Some!". Packed full of all the key components of linear functions, learners review how to set up different equations, find intercepts, and graph. All the main topics are included...
