Introduce your class to the lattice method as a way to multiply polynomials. This instructional activity is specifically aimed at getting students to use methods other than Algeblocks to solve polynomials.

There are three parts to this instructional activity on integers. In the first, learners explore positive and negative numbers on an actual painter's tape number line and by playing a "Hot Seat" game. In part two, they view a BrainPop...

Young scholars perform order of operation using integers. In this algebra lesson, students apply properties of integers as they add, subtract, multiply and divide integers. They work in groups to complete a RAFT assignment.

Students add and subtract integers. In this algebra lesson, students add, subtract, multiply and divide integers. They apply the properties of numbers as they solve equations.

This unit on integers includes a pre-test, a post-test, four spreadsheets, and links to an interactive web-site to support the learning of integer operations. Access to computers and the Internet are imperative to this unit. The lessons...

Students multiply decimals and/or mixed numbers. They explore the effects of multiplying decimals and mixed numbers. They practice estimating answers when a number is multiplied by a decimal or mixed number.

Students create visuals on the TI Calculator to solve problems. In this algebra instructional activity, students perform basic operations with integers. They add, subtract, multiply and divide.

Students multiply inequalities by negative. In this algebra lesson, students solve inequalities and graph their solutions on a number line. They pay close attention to the negative consequence, which causes the sign to flip.

Students define polynomial functions. In this algebra activity, students add, subtract, multiply and divide polynomials using properties of polynomial functions.

Middle schoolers practice determining the value of cars. Using the internet, they complete a worksheet in which they list the make of each car and use the data to determine the value. They share their results with the class and identify...

If you can multiply multi-digit integers, you can multiply polynomials. Learners use an area model to compare multiplying numbers to multiplying polynomials. They progress to using the distributive property. 

Do properties of equations hold true for inequalities? Teach solving inequalities through the theme of properties. Your class discovers that the multiplication property of equality doesn't hold true for inequalities when multiplying by a...

Explore properties of integers! In this algebra lesson, pupils add, subtract, divide and multiply using integers correctly. They differentiate between rational and irrational numbers.

Students solve problems using the order of operation. In this algebra lesson, students factor, subtract, add and divide using the correct order to remove parentheses. They simplify expressions by combining like terms.

Your sixth and seventh graders deepen their understanding of a number line and adding integers in this concrete, hands-on activity. Learners play "Warehouse Puzzle" and then discuss their game strategies and the characteristics...

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...

Learners review inverse, negative integers and order of operation. In this algebra lesson, students combine like terms and solve linear equations by multiplying and dividing by the inverse of an integer. They rewrite word problems using...

Students solve inequalities using more than two steps. In this algebra instructional activity, students solve inequalities using addition, substitution, multiplication and division. When dividing or multiplying by a negative number, you...

Students manipulate integers quickly to get their answers. In this algebra lesson plan, students play an interactive game as they review basic algebraic operations. They add, subtract, multiply and divide quickly to get the correct answer.

In critiquing someone else's theory, learners share insight into their own understanding of mathematical concepts. Fifth graders will explore the notion that products are always larger than their factors. While this statement is...

Develop a solid understanding of multiplication and division properties of exponents. Individuals expand exponential terms to discover the patterns and create the properties in the second installment in a series of 15. The activity...

Track down the Cyberchase episode that this lesson is associated with. Using a worksheet that is embedded in the plan, learners must find the next two numbers and shapes (a double pattern). Once these have been discovered, pupils try...

Time to study the most sensible function — rational functions! The seven-lesson unit develops the concept of a rational function through a connection to rational numbers and fractions. Scholars graph functions, solve equations, and...

Play a game of capture the points. Young scholars receive a number line with specific points graphed and must write an inequality that captures all the points. The second task of the algebra project is to write an inequality with...
