A matrix is just a fancy way of making a table. Young scholars explore operations with matrices with the first lessons in the final module of a 10-unit Algebra II series. After adding, subtracting, and multiplying matrices, pupils use...

Prompt scholars to complete a magic square using only variables. Then they can attempt to solve a numerical magic square using algebra. 

As if solving equations with an x isn't tricky enough, now they add a y, too? A pre-assessment gauges the knowledge of your classes related to systems. They are asked to solve graphically and algebraically and to solve word...

Here is a task that gives the graph of the solutions of a system of linear inequalities and asks learners to analyze and write the algebraic form of the systems. By turning the problem around, learners make the connections between...

Your algebra learners write linear, exponential, and quadratic equations containing the same two graph points in this collaborative task.

Your algebra learners will make use of structure and manipulate expressions involving function notation using the definition of odd and even functions. They then advance even further to analyze the structure in a system of two equations.

Students explore parabolas.  In this algebra and technology lesson, students construct the equation of a specific parabola, then take digital photos of real-life representations of these parabolas.  Students create a podcast...

This assessment pair goes way beyond simple graphing, factoring and solving polynomial equations, really forcing learners to investigate the math ideas behind the calculations. Short and to-the-point questions build on one another,...

In this language arts worksheet, students study 10 words in a word bank, then locate them in a word search puzzle. The words appear to be related to algebra; the meaning of the title is not known. There is one misspelled word in the word...

Students write and solve parametric equations. In this algebra lesson, students find and eliminate parameter of equations. They graph parametric equations and analyze the graphs.

In this algebra worksheet, students solve quadratic equations and linear equations. They graph their points and identify where the 2 intersect. There are 10 questions with an answer key.

Determining the number of solutions is an important stepping stone to higher math. In this case, the resource asks algebra pupils to find a second linear equation for a certain solution of a system. When one is asked for a linear...

What are constraints and how can they be represented mathematically? This instructional slideshow provides an explanation and an example of how to translate constraints into algebraic inequalities.

Ask your algebra learners to write an equation that has unit constraints. This commentary talks about the constraints, but does not show them in the equation. It is important that your mathematicians understand that the units apply to...

For this linear system worksheet, students determine the point of intersection between two lines, they complete linear combination problems. This two-page worksheet contains four multi-step problems.

Tune in for savings! Scholars investigate pricing schemes for two different online music download sites. After comparing the two, they determine the numbers of songs for which each site would be cheaper.

Students determine the degree of polynomials.  In this determining the degree of polynomials lesson, students find the difference between consecutive y-values.  Students find the degree of a linear, quadratic, and cubic...

Tenth graders investigate the Elimination Method in the solving of equations. They solve the equation using this method in examples with the teacher and then transfer the new knowledge to independent practice.

In this math worksheet, students solve the problems that are correlated with the objectives. Each practice set has an in depth example.

In this Algebra I/Algebra II activity, learners use graphing to solve systems of linear inequalities.  The two page activity contains a combination of five multiple choice and free response questions.  Answers are provided. 

In this algebra worksheet, students evaluate exponential functions using tables and graphs. There are 6 questions with an answer key.

Students analyze graphs of two equations. In this algebra instructional activity, students rewrite word problems as linear equations. They graph their solution and compare and contrast the two items being represented.

Investigate the application of vector transformations applied to linear systems. Individuals use vectors to transform a linear system translating the solution to the origin. They apply their understanding of vectors, matrices,...

Young scholars identify relation, function, patterns and range. In this algebra lesson, students factor and graph quadratic equations. They use transformation to move the parabola around and make predictions.
