In this Algebra I worksheet, 9th graders solve basic equations, writng a proof of the solution and justifying each step. The one page worksheet contains four questions. Answers are not included.

Third graders analyze word problems. In this number sentence lesson, 3rd graders evaluate word problems. Students create number sentences from word problems.

In this geometry instructional activity, students solve for missing midpoints, segments and angles using algebraic equations. They use geometric properties to solve these equations. There are 32 questions on 7 different worksheets.

Young scholars explore change represented in graphs comparing distance and time. They exchange and share their graphs. Students interpret and create distance versus time line-graphs, and write stories based on these graphs. They...

Fifth graders devise and use problem solving strategies to solve a magic square arrangement. In small groups they explore various strategies including non-algebraic and algebraic techniques, write an explanation of their solution, and...

In this algebra activity, students develop patterns and formulas to solve sequences. They apply the Number Theory to each problem. There is 1 question.

Learners use a spreadsheet to investigate data. In this algebra lesson, students collect and graph data on a coordinate plane. They explain properties of a linear equation both algebraically and orally.

If the flu outbreak continues, exams will have to be canceled. Investigate the properties of exponential and logarithmic functions. In this algebra activity, students use the TI to examine and differentiate between exponential growth and...

Students identify the slope of a line and use it to solve real life problems. In this algebra lesson, students write linear equations in slope intercept form and make a correlation to its relation to the real world. They use the slope an...

Amaze your classes with the ability to find side lengths of triangles immediately — they'll all want to know your trick! Learners use the Pythagorean Theorem and special right triangle relationships to find missing side lengths.

In this integral formula, students explore how theorems are derived. They write proofs supporting Cauchy's Inequality, Liouville's Theorem, the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, Gauss' Mean Value Theorem and Cauchy's Residue Theorem. ...

Students solve exponential functions. In this algebra lesson, students identify the properties of logarithmic and exponential functions. They graph their functions and solve using change of base formula.

How do you know if a number is divisible? Instructors first prove the divisibility rules for three and four and then class members use this modeling to prove given divisibility rules for eight and nine either individually or in...

There are a number of activities here that look at representing data in different ways. One activity, has young data analysts conduct a class survey regarding a new radio station, summarize a data set, and use central tendencies to...

Students complete a chain of numbers given the outcome. In this geometry lesson, student use deductive and inductive reasoning to solve problems. They create a formula and ways to predict numbers in the chain without starting over.

Introduce pupils to the two types of reasoning, inductive and deductive. Classmates work in pairs or small groups to learn the difference between the two and apply these reasonings to develop valid conclusions. 

Mathematicians use an inquiry method to solve linear equations. In this linear equations instructional activity, students practice solving equations using addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. They solve multi-step...

Students use logical arguments and inductive reasoning to make or disprove conjectures. After observing a teacher led demonstration, students discover that the deductive process narrows facts to a few possible conclusions. In groups,...
