Students subtract monomials and polynomials by combining like terms. In this advanced subtraction instructional activity, students define the rules and properties for subtraction of polynomials. They apply the rules for addition to help...

Learners participate in a two-week real-life math unit. In pairs, they calculate salaries, taxes, and a budget, plan a vacation, buy insurance, make a will, and design a room. They conduct Internet research to plan the vacation, and...

Students are introduced to the concept of variables and their uses. In groups, they are given a code in which they must find the value of the missing words. To end the lesson, they find the value of words over ten letters long and their...

Your learners explore growing patterns by describing, extending, creating, and evaluating practical pattern problems in this three-day collaborative unit. Beginning with concrete patterns and function tables to extend and...

Scholars find a pattern from a geometric sequence and write the formula for extending it. The learning exercise includes a table to complete plus four analysis questions. It concludes with instructional implications for the teacher.

Scholars crave practical application. Let them use the different models of a quadratic function to plan the size and shape of a school playground. They convert between the different forms and maximize area.

Most problems can be solved using more than one method. A instructional activity includes just nine questions but many more ways to solve each. Scholars must graph, solve, and justify quadratic problems.
