Examine parts of an expression in this algebra lesson. Ninth graders identify the properties of the coefficient and their behavior to the graph. They graph the equation on a TI to see their results.

Graph linear equations using a table of values. Learners solve equations in two variables using standard form of an equation. They identify the relationship between x and y values.

Learners differentiate between expression and equation by evaluating integers and observing the difference. They use the TI to see the steps to solve problems.

Students solve linear equations and identify the unknown. In this algebra lesson, students define a variable and use addition, subtraction, multiplication and division to solve. They change the equation depending on the value of the...

Learners solve equations by writing expressions. In this algebra lesson, students identify the different values for each variable. They use the navigator to see how to solve equations.

Middle and high schoolers complete and solve 12 various types of problems. First, they express the output as a function of the input in each table. Then, pupils evaluate for the given variable when the value is as stated. In addition,...

Help learners translate word problems into algebraic equations. They will rewrite words using symbols and evaluate algebraic expressions using real life scenarios, animation sequences, video presentations, and activities to help students...

(vegetable)^(1/2) = root vegetable? The fourth installment of a 35-part module has scholars extend properties of exponents to rational exponents to solve problems. Individuals use these properties to rewrite radical expressions in...

It seems the post office has run out of stamps! Learners build all the values of postage available if the post office only sells five- and seven-cent stamps. The task provides an opportunity to create an expression in two variables and...

Subway orders are the same in every language, right? An inquiry-based lesson presents a Subway ordering board from an Asian country. Given an order, learners must determine the cost by comparing symbols of the order to the symbols on the...

Learn the stories a formula holds. An interesting lesson takes a unique approach to teach how to use formulas. Beginning with a formula, learners predict what the variables stand for and then use the formula to make calculations and tell...

Practice evaluating polynomial expressions at the same time you find Pythagorean Triples. Look for patterns and find examples when the "formula" does and doesn't work. Finally, verify the formula by proving the identity true.

Solve equations and graph systems of inequalities. Designed as a lesson to reinforce these concepts, learners revisit shading and boundaries along with solving linear inequalities.

Students name and sketch numerical expressions. In this order of operation lesson, students add, subtract, multiply and divide using the correct order of operation. They perform four specific calculations for their motivation lesson.

You will need a photovoltaic system and monitor at your school in order to obtain all of the data required to thoroughly implement this lesson. Your class monitors daily temperature and insolation amounts over a two week span of time....

If you can multiply binomials, you can factor trinomials! This is the premise for a lesson on factoring. Pupils look for patterns in the binomials they multiply and apply them in reverse. Examples include leading coefficients of one...

Young scholars collect data from measurements and weights for this experiment. In this algebra lesson, students analyze graphs they create form their data to find the expression representing the data. They label which graph provided the...

Graph inequalities and discuss the difference in their slopes. Learners observe rate of change as they compare linear, quadratic, and cubic functions.

Your learners explore growing patterns by describing, extending, creating, and evaluating practical pattern problems in this three-day collaborative unit. Beginning with concrete patterns and function tables to extend and...

Presenting ... the gold standard for a lesson. Learners first investigate a task maximizing the area of a plot for gold prospecting. They then examine a set of sample student responses to evaluate their strengths and weaknesses.

Learners step up to the plate as they first complete an assessment task using linear equations to determine the best company from which to buy baseball jerseys. They then evaluate provided sample responses identifying strengths and...

Ninth graders solve problems involving exponential functions. In this algebra lesson, 9th graders apply their knowledge of exponential properties to add, multiply, divide and subtract exponential functions. They perform these operations...

Young mathematicians use photos and video clips to determine if a cricket player is "in" or "out." This analysis occurs using scale factors, distance-rate-time formula, and consideration of precision and accuracy.

Students solve problems using formulas. In this algebra activity, students evaluate numbers using substitution. They graph their answers using a TI and discuss the outcome.
