This assessment pair goes way beyond simple graphing, factoring and solving polynomial equations, really forcing learners to investigate the math ideas behind the calculations. Short and to-the-point questions build on one another,...

Here is a short, but well-rounded review of redox reactions. Chemistry apprentices identify the type of reaction, write half-reaction equations, balance equations, and assign oxidation numbers. Being brief, this would make a purposeful...

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...

Chemistry and earth science meet in a lesson on carbon dioxide emissions. After reading about atmospheric problems caused by using fossil fuels, science stars balance equations for the burning of different alkanes. They compute the...

Fifth and sixth graders compare decimals to the place-value structure in the base-ten number system. They represent fractions as parts of unit wholes, as parts of a set, as locations on a number line, and as divisions of whole numbers....

For this systems of equations worksheet, students solve 5 different word problems that include writing an equations and solving it by applying a system of equations. First, they write an equation that when solved will give the required...

In this nonlinear equations instructional activity, students use iterative methods for solving systems of nonlinear equations. This four-page instructional activity contains eight multi-step problems.

In this matrix operations activity, students perform matrix addition and multiplication. This two-page activity contains six problems. Definitions, examples and explanations are also provided.

Write a math story for a series of problems using given variables. The class writes stories, showing understanding of strategies in compound sentences. They then solve the equations.

Design a plan for finding the best health insurance for your money. Learners compare two health plans by writing and graphing piecewise functions representing the plan rules. Using Excel software, they create a technical report...

Build a function to solve problems rooted in archeology. A comprehensive set of five lessons presents problems requiring individuals to use functions. The initial lesson asks learners to find the possible number of dinosaurs from a...

Students use matrices and linear equations to decrypt a secret message. They receive a part of the encoded message to decode by means of inverse matrices. Pupils write critiques about the activity.

What would your dream house look like? A cottage? A medieval castle? High schoolers enrolled in Algebra design the perfect house while using slopes to write equations for various aspects of the project.

Ask your algebra learners to write an equation that has unit constraints. This commentary talks about the constraints, but does not show them in the equation. It is important that your mathematicians understand that the units apply to...
