Learners are given a graph of a parabola on a coordinate system, but intercepts and vertex are not labeled. The task is to analyze eight given quadratic functions and determine which ones might possibly be represented by the graph. The...

Middle-school mathematicians identify the need for scientific notation. Learners convert large and small numbers into scientific notation. Students review the powers of ten and write them on the board in standard form and scientific...

Seventh graders use toothpicks to investigate a series of designs and identify patterns. Data is organized and analyzed using tables and graphs, and students make generalizations using algebraic expressions.

Students create a mathematical formula to help plan ration supplies for a polar expedition. Using basic algebra skills, students identify the variables in planning for rations. They create an equation to help plan the expedition....

Students explore the concept of ratios. They observe a website of Trident Gum that gives a real life example of ratios. Students practice ratio problems in three forms. They express ratios as a proportion and solve proportions using...

Reinforces the use of the distributive property for the pre-algebra or the beginning algebra pupil. Multiple choice and short answer questions test the use of the distributive property in expressions using solely numerical values or...

A cute zoo theme sets the tone for a problem-solving activity which primes early learners for division. They separate zoo animals into equal groups and then write an equation that expresses the action. 

Fractions, decimals, and percents all say the same thing! Show your classes how to convert between the three forms using visual and numeric representations. Then lead them to an understanding of scientific notation.

Students explore the concept of chemical formulas.  In this chemical formula lesson, students watch a video about balancing chemical equations.  Students conduct an experiment using silver nitrate and sodium phosphate. ...

In this addition worksheet, 2nd graders write the correct expressions for the one digit word problems about trees, books, and more. Students complete 5 problems.

Students examine numbers and try to find a pattern in their relationship. They write an algebraic expression for the nth term.

In this Euler's method worksheet, students determine algebraic expressions for quantities in given terms. Next, they use Euler's Method to identify the information. Lastly, they confirm their calculations through the S-I-R method. ...

Students incorporate their conceptual understanding of proportions to write a creative piece similar to the example poem.

In this algebra worksheet, learners play a game of "Algebra War". They write linear equations and evaluate functions. They work in groups as they play the game to reinforce basic algebra skills.

Learners use pattern blocks to develop an understanding of algebraic generalization(pattern) in order to write a mathematical equation using algebraic symbols.

In this solving problems worksheet, young scholars read short word statements, translate them into an algebraic equation, and solve the problem. Twelve problems are listed on this one-page worksheet.

Third graders discuss light sources and collect data about energy sources. They compare data and create a multiple line graph showing energy used by light sources for each student in the group. They present their graphs and write a...

Sixth graders practice translating verbal expressions into algebraic expressions. In this introductory algebra lesson, 6th graders practice writing written/verbal sentences into algebraic expressions and vice versa. Students also review...

In this math worksheet, students engage in a mental math activity. Student think a number and follow several computations with that number and always come up with the answer 9. Students discuss why this happens.

Students investigate the concepts of expressions and equations while defining the similarities and differences. They explore the operations by using a number line and record answers while working with the teacher. Students play the game...

In this surface area and volume worksheet, students solve 4 short answer and multiple choice problems.  Students find the volume and surface area of cylinders and prisms.

In this mathematics worksheet, 5th graders write each of the written form into a number form. Then they name the place value that has been underlined in the number. Students also write each decimal number into its normal form.

Students solve one step linear equations. In this algebra lesson, students manipulate their variables and numbers to answer each problem. They make sure the equations stay balanced at all times.

These aren't models made of clay. Young mathematicians model given population data using exponential functions. They consider different models and choose the best one.
