Fifth graders solve equations. In this algebraic equations lesson plan, 5th graders use the inverse operation to solve an equation. The teacher reminds students to perform the operation on both sides of the equation. This lesson plan...

In this solving equations with a table worksheet, 6th graders use the data in the table to solve seven problems, completing the table as they work.

Investigate field properties of real numbers. Scholars use a table for a given operation to determine the identity element. They use the same table to find a missing value in an equation.

Hopefully nothing gets lost in translation. Pupils translate between verbal phrases and algebraic expressions. They then use candy to determine what values to substitute into the expressions.

In this calculus activity, students solve problems using the first and second derivatives. They define the behavior of the function based on the derivative. There are 11 questions with an answer key.

Get some practice with double-digit addition and subtraction from all directions! Learners complete two equations for each operation, one horizontally and one vertically. Consider your objective with this one; do you want scholars to use...

In this equivalent ratios worksheet, students simplify 6 ratios and write each in 2 different ways. Students solve 8 proportional equations using equivalent ratios to find a missing term. Students solve 2 test prep questions regarding...

Solving factor trees is a helpful way to introduce prime numbers. Your math class practices using this method along with two-column tables to find if a number is prime or not. They also learn other vocabulary, such as composite numbers,...

Graph equations of lines using the slope-intercept method or by plotting both x and y intercepts. Determine if two lines are parallel or perpendicular by comparing their slopes. This handout includes step-by-step directions and four...

Ready to study inequalities with your class? Use this activity to solve multi-step inequalities and graph the solutions. The document would be great to use as a study guide as you present the material, or could easily be modified and...

Keep your hands on the wheel—at all times! Scholars learn why pilots use a flight computer through a high-flying demonstration. Making calculations for speed, distance, or time is automatic if you know how to use a flight computer. 

Complete incomplete tables by using proportions. Pupils use information provided to complete tables based on proportions. Class members use their knowledge of part-to-part ratios and totals to find the missing information.

Help your pupils find a pattern of direct variation. Young scholars use input-output pairs to find a constant of variation and then write the equation. As they build their equations, the interactive lesson provides feedback.

The old plug and chug method will help the class investigate functional notation. They explore the meaning of functional notation, f(x), and determine the functional value of given values. The lesson includes two application problems and...

Students apply their knowledge of math by rewriting word problems using equations. In this word problem lesson, students build upon previous knowledge as they set up the correct steps to solve word problems. This lesson is full of hints...

Let your first graders translate these word problems into subtraction sentences. Some of the equations involve finding the answer after Char gives some of her markers away, while others require finding the amount of markers Char started...

Strive for gold with an informative resource. A short task challenges learners to investigate the thickness of a box made from a given volume of gold. The box must have specific dimensions, so setting up and solving a literal equation is...

Would you work for a penny today? Use this activity to highlight the pattern of increase in an exponential function. Scholars compare two options of being paid: one linear and one exponential. Depending on the number of days worked, they...

Learning math is so much more fun when it involves playing games. Following the rules of the classic game Memory, young mathematicians flip over two cards at a time as they look for numbers whose sum or difference is equal to the value...

How fun would it be to teach the concept of stoichiometry while allowing your chemistry class to assemble a classic campfire treat? This fun and engaging activity allows pupils to explore the principles of the chemical theory while...

A deceptively simple question setup leads to a number of attack methods and a surprisingly sophisticated solution set in this open-ended problem. Young geometers of different strengths can go about defining the solutions graphically,...

Are complex numbers and binomials similar? This stack of slides provides an introduction to complex numbers and shows how to operate with them. The worked examples show a connection between operating with binomials and operating with...

Six questions make up a challenging interactive that tests scholars' knowledge of repeating decimals. Mathematicians answer true or false and multiple-choice questions with help from a tool that highlights decimal movement in an...

That's the ticket! Pupils write and investigate two linear functions representing the cost of printing tickets. Individuals then determine which of two printing companies would be a better buy.
