The Two Coin Problem

Starting statisticians work with several sets of data, all of which involve two variables taken from the same subjects. They complete two-way tables and compute relative frequencies. Although the handouts are not visually appealing,...

Step 1: Use the resource. Step 2: Watch your class become experts in solving two-step problems. Scholars learn to solve two-step word problems in context. They use tape diagrams and algebraic techniques to break the problem into two,...

Young mathematicians improve their ability to solve two-step algebraic equations with this simple skills practice learning exercise. Offering five different problems involving the multiplication, addition, and subtraction of...

Develop an understanding of algebraic sequences through an exploration of patterns. Five leveled problems target grade levels from elementary through high school. Each problem asks young mathematicians to recognize a geometric pattern....

A single activity gets your math class to solve a word problem using two linear equations and two variables. They compare the summer earnings of Kimi and Jordan and then graph the solutions to determine who will save the most money in a...

Learners solve vacation equations with tape in a lesson that uses tape diagrams to aid in the understanding of the algebraic steps used to solve two-step linear equations. Groups work together to solve seven scenarios involving a family...

Put on your thinking caps because middle school math has never been more interesting in this huge resource full of thought provoking questions. Written as a newsletter, the resource has 10 two-page newsletters with a variety of...

How much sugar is in one bottle? Pupils use double number line diagrams to determine the amount of sugar in a 1L bottle of cola. The teacher leads a discussion on ways that double number lines can be of assistance in solving a problem...

Statistics come front and center in this unit all about analyzing discrete data. Real-world situations yield data sets that the class then uses to tease out connections and conclusions. Beginning with the basic histogram and...

Sal adds a few more steps to these problems as he solves algebraic equations with two steps - though he states that "there's more than one way to do it." Those who become confused by increasingly complicated algebra problems on a test...
