Students investigate the idea of gender descrimination in the classroom. In this algebra lesson, students collect data in stereotyping, and gender bias in the classroom, school materials and activities. They graph and analyze their...

Students perform operations and graph their data using charts and bar graphs. In this algebra lesson, students follow specific steps to make a bar graph. They create a survey about people favorite things and plot their data from the...

Students investigate Mayan Numbers. In this algebra lesson, students compare our number system to the number system of the Mayans. They identify base 10 and base 20 numbers including zero in the Mayan symbols. They solve a Mayan problem.

Young scholars solve problems using scales and ratios. In this algebra lesson, students create drawings using scales of 1:12. They follow a key to help them draw different buildings using the right scales. They also complete word...

Young scholars identify real graphs and misleading graphs. In this algebra lesson, students surf the Internet for real life scenarios where graphs are used in a misleading way as well as in a correct way.

Students use concrete models (algebra blocks) to demonstrate their processes for solving quadratic equations. They apply the commutative, associative, and distributive properties to simplify algebraic expressions and to solve quadratic...

Students create their plays to demonstrate concepts from Algebra I. They collaborate in small groups to add music and dancing to their plays. They analyze the suggestions from the previous class as they revise their plays.

Young scholars revise their Algebra plays. They collaborate in small groups to work on different aspects of the play and report to the class. They make modifications to their plans and review the Musical Rubric to incorporate the...

Students learn that speed is a function of time and distance, a quadratic equation can be used to figure out the path of fireworks, a photographer can use Algebra to figure out how many rolls he can afford if he needs twice as much of...

Students use algebra tiles to identify the binomial factors and the graphing calculator to verify the result. In addition, they will identify the x-intercepts and y-intercepts of each trinomial function and explore relationships between...

Learners participate in a lesson that reviews the concept of linear functions in connection with preparation for an exam. The teacher reviews problems with the students for scaffolding. Learners practice graphing linear functions.

Learners use given information on wind speed with the quadratic formula to determine the pressure of the wind on a building. In this quadratic equations lesson, students compute the pressure of the wind from two data tables. They graph...

Students are given pre-made graph paper. In this algebra instructional activity, students are given copies of graph paper that can be used to plot points on a coordinate plane already measured out.

Students graph linear equations. In this algebra lesson, students discuss the effect the change in one variable has in an equation. They discuss the effect equations have if you chage the value of the variable.

Investigate the case of two negatives making a positive. Pupils fill in a quadrant system to generate the products of integers. They analyze the quadrants to find patterns and relationships to help complete the table values. The teacher...

Many things in life take the shape of a polynomial curve. Learners design a polynomial function to model a riverbed. Using different strategies, they find the flow rate through the river.

Looking for an alternative approach to long division? Show your classes how to use factoring in place of long division. Increase their fluency with factoring at the same time!

All data is not created equal. Scholars examine the different types of studies and learn about the importance of randomization. They explore the meaning of causation and when it can be applied to data. 

Forget your ID number? Your pupils learn to use logarithms to determine the number of digits or characters necessary to create individual ID numbers for all members of a group. 

Everybody loves video day! Grab your class's attention with this well-designed and engaging resource about graphing. The video introduces a scenario that will be graphed with a piecewise function, then makes a connection to domain...

Increase your sample and increase your accuracy! Scholars complete an activity that compares sample size to variability in results. Learners realize that the greater the sample size, the smaller the range in the distribution of sample...

I can't calculate a base-2 logarithm since my calculator doesn't have a base-2 log key. Young mathematicians use the change of base formula to extend the properties of logarithms to all bases. Among these bases is the natural log base,...

Don't leave your classes vulnerable in their calculations! Help them understand the importance of calculating a margin of error to represent the variability in their sample mean.
