Students rewrite word problems using equations. In this algebra lesson, students relate the concept of equations and symbols to the real world. They graph their solutions on a graph and analyze it.

Learners analyze graphs for specific properties. In this algebra instructional activity, students solve equations and graph using the TI calculator. They find the different changes that occur in each graph,including maximum and minimum.

Students graph linear http://www.lessonplanet.com/review?id=180542equations. In this problem solving lesson, students calculate slope and plot ordered pairs on a coordinate grid. Using a real-life example of a walk-a-thon, students...

Young analysts use real (provided) data from a class's test scores to practice using statistical tools. Not only do learners calculate measures of center and spread (including mean, median, deviation, and IQ range), but...

Students research loans. In this financial instructional activity, students explore the benefits and drawbacks of applying for a pay-day advance loan. Students compare different programs and calculate interest owed. Multiple resources...

Solve problems using integration and derivatives. By using calculus, learners will analyze graphs to find the extrema and change in behavior. They then will identify the end behavior using the derivatives. Activities and handouts are...

Mathematics is all about patterns. Young mathematicians analyze geometric patterns to write algebraic expressions. They use the expressions to predict future stages of the patterns.

In this scientific notation activity, learners read about the discovery of new planets. They use scientific notation to identify the number of miles from one planet to the next. Students determine how long it would take to travel, when...

Students explore the concept of 2-variable equations and expressions. In this 2-variable equation and expression lesson, students translate 2-variable word problems into 2-variable equations and expressions.

Learners are given instruction on how the class will work. In this math class lesson, students are given a breakdown of what is expected of them on a daily basis. They are given basic math problems as an introduction to the class.

In this practice exit exam, students complete a variety of basic algebra problems on an Algebra I skill level. They simplify expressions containing variables, factor quadratic equations, find the slope of a line, identify the...

Seventh graders, exploring methods to estimate fractions, take notes on estimating fractions, 7th graders write letters to explain the process of estimating fractions and mixed numbers to someone who does not know the concept. Students...

Ninth graders investigate the concept of an inequality. They begin the lesson by covering relevant vocabulary. They write an inequality for each word problem given. Then they translate problems from words to algebraic inequalities.

Put geometry skills to the test! Learners solve compound inequalities and then graph the inequalities on a coordinate plane using their geometric skills. They identify the slope and y-intercept in order to graph correctly. I like this...

Solve equations and graph systems of inequalities. Designed as a lesson to reinforce these concepts, learners revisit shading and boundaries along with solving linear inequalities.

What does translating points on a number line have to do with solving inequalities? Young mathematicians first learn about translations of points on a number line, and then use this information to solve linear inequalities in one variable.

Rescue animals in the zoo by applying math concepts. Groups of learners solve three missions involving oxygen, food, and climate control. Each group selects an animal from one of four bio-domes.

Students measure using the metric system. In this geometry lesson, students solve problems using grams, meters and liters. They convert between the US units of measurements and the Metric System.

Third graders investigate numerical and geometric patterns and express them in words or numbers.  In this algebraic reasoning lesson, 3rd graders analyze the structure of the pattern and how it changes or grows, organize information...

Students differentiate between a feral cat and a domesticated cat. For this cat lesson plan, students use the scientific method, calculate averages, solve story problems, and learn how a caretaker can help a feral colony live safely.

Students play games as they review math concepts on grids. In this algebra lesson, students review quadrants and other parts of a coordinate system as they play a game. They must finish a word problem by making their final answer forty.

Students recognize the difference between a prime and a composite number.  In this prime and composite number lesson plan, students  use a factor tree model to show prime factorization. Students participate in a bingo activity....

Seventh graders find the perimeter and area of triangles.  For this finding the perimeter and area of triangles lesson, 7th graders find the perimeter and area of triangles given two sides.  Students find the missing side by...

Science equipment can be handy for math class, too. Scholars learn to solve one- and two-step linear equations by using the concept of a balance. They solve real-world problems in a variety of contexts by writing and solving linear...
