Students explore a website to practice math skills. In this algebra lesson, student go to Carol Fisher's web-page where there are explanations and games to follow along with an entire year of algebra. 

Learners simplify simple equations. Using a maze game, young mathematicians speculate about the size of different algebraic values and what other equivalent expressions might look like. It is a nice beginning activity for introducing...

Students graph systems of equation. In this algebra lesson, students find where the lines cross and identify the type of solution. They analyze a graph and write the equation of the line.

Learners apply the concept of transformation to the game of battleship. In this algebra lesson, students relate their linear equations to how they would graph or set up their game pieces to win.

Students investigate the graphs of conics.  In this Algebra II lesson plan, students solve equations of conics while playing the game of Tracker.  In Tracker the graphs are hidden on a coordinate plane and students use probe...

Students investigate the pros and cons of the lottery. In this algebra lesson, students use the formulas for permutation and combination to test their arguments about the lottery. They collect data about their argument and plot it on a...

Students practice identifying points on a coordinate plane, creating charts, and calculating ratios. In groups, students play a "battleship" game where they determine the location of their own fleet and attempt to find the location of...

On a three-page assignment, number crunchers will examine the laws of exponents and apply them to a variety of problems. They write expressions in exponential form or as repeated multiplication. They evaluate and simplify exponential...

Collect and analyze data. Pupils graph their data and model with it to solve real life problems. They use logic and deductive reasoning to draw conclusions.
