There's only one way to multiply, right? Not when it comes to polynomials. Reach each individual by incorporating various representations to multiplying polynomials. This lesson approaches multiplying polynomials from all angles. Build...

Young geometers develop one of the fundamental properties of quadrilaterals (connecting side midpoints gives a parallelogram) in this short but thought-provoking exercise. Using a combination of hands-on techniques and abstract algebraic...

Teach your class to think outside the box. Scholars use the concept of equality to solve a problem in the assessment task. They determine how to use a scale to identify the one box out of a set of nine boxes that is heavier than the others.

Your class is asked to use inverse operations to solve eleven equations for unknown variables or to rearrange formulas to highlight a quantity of interest. By using the same reasoning as solving one- and two-step equations, algebra...

This comprehensive resource applies simultaneous equations to a real-life problem. Though the commentary starts with a graph, some home consumers may choose to begin with a table. A graph does aid learners to visualize the shift of one...

Paper folding, flu spreading in a school, bacteria growth, and continuously compounded interest all provide excellent models to study exponential functions. This is a comprehensive resource that looks at many different aspects of...

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...

Place a lesson on sequences in your sequence of lessons. Scholars first learn the basics of geometric sequences, such as common ratios and then they write recursive and explicit formulas for geometric sequences.

Using rates from a rental car company, young mathematicians graph data, explore linear relationships, and discuss the role of slope and the y-intercept. This lesson allows for the discussion of independent and dependent variables, as...

In this problem solving patterns worksheet, 6th graders solve and complete 2 various types of problems. First, they identify what the 4n represents in each block pattern illustrated. Then, students determine the number of arrows added to...

Twelfth graders identify the parts of an algebraic equation. They consider the many uses of algebra in daily life. They play a game, Algebra Match, where student pairs work to solve equations listed on index cards.

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 use interactive geometry exploration software (GES) to create a two-point perspective drawing. They explore basic geometry concepts in and geometric transformations of the model of a rectangular prism viewed from different...

Young mathematicians first graph a series of quadratic equations, and then investigate how various parts of the equation change the graph of the function in a predictable way.

(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...

Introducing inverse functions! The 20th installment of a 35-part instructional activity encourages scholars to learn the definition of inverse functions and how to find them. The instructional activity considers all types of functions,...

Time for a shift in thinking! Learners examine translations of linear functions. They use function notation to describe the translation and make connections to the graph.

In this algebra worksheet, students rewrite fractions as a mixed number and as improper fractions. They solve problems using fractions. There are 16 problems.

Students explore the concept of linear equations. In this linear equations instructional activity, students examine graphic organizers on steps to solve linear equations. Students then practice solving linear equations as they play a...

Learners discuss and review examples of the Pythagorean Theorem using a GSP, Geometer's Sketchpad, activity.

Through a variety of physical and theoretical situations, learners are led through the development of some of the deepest concepts in high school mathematics. Complex numbers, the fundamental theorem of algebra and rational exponents...

An engaging, and not to mention attractive, lesson plan has prealgebra and beginning algebra scholars examining linear relationships. They consider the rising water level as a swimming pool is being filled. They do so by charting and...

Elementary or middle schoolers use ratios to discover some nearly constant relationships between measurements of parts of the human body. They find and record pairs of measurements and determine the relationship between the pairs. Pupils...
