Literal Equations
All the variables make it look harder. Individuals find out that solving a formula for a variable on interest is no different than solving an equation. Pupils participate during the video presentation by pausing the video and working...
Flipped Math
Rational Equations
Take a rational look at solving equations. Learners watch a video presentation on solving simple rational equations that shows solving the equation along with finding excluded values. Viewers then practice the skill with the worksheets...
Flipped Math
Solve Equations
Solutions for linear equations create solution sets. Pupils watch a video on solving multi-step linear equations. They then solve equations with variables on both sides of the equal sign, combining like terms and the distributive...

By the Numbers: Mathematical Connections in Newspapers for Middle-Grade Students
A cross-curricular resource teaches and reinforces mathematical concepts with several activities that use parts of a newspaper. Scholars use scavenger hunts to find the different ways math is used in the paper along with using data...
Concord Consortium
Same Solution Equations
Group equations by their solutions. Given six different equations, pupils determine which have the same solutions. Scholars explain why some are the same and some are different.
