Engage your critical thinkers with a series of word problems that ask them to discuss their problem solving strategies. There are eight multi-step problems to solve, each problem includes the notes on the operation performed, the process...

These numbers have some personality! Are they rational or irrational? The lesson examines the definitions of rational and irrational numbers and shows examples of how to identify them. 

How do you solve for a variable? This slideshow provides definitions, key concepts, and guided practice to teach learners how to solve literal equations for a specified variable.

Students, using algebraic operations, solve and check linear equations. At the beginning of class, they write a paragraph comparing the solving of math problems to solving real life problems. Students observe solving systems of two...

Students explore the math concept of percents. In this percents lesson, students examine visual examples of the relationships among fractions, decimals, and percents. Students also practice solving problems that their instructors model.

Use this worksheet for practice or review solving linear equations in one variable. Problems range from multiple-step problems involving parentheses and combining like terms, to word problems, to equations with no solution or infinitely...
