Scholars realize the importance of reading and correct interpretation when engaging in mathematical problem solving. This begins with the understanding of vocabulary and the translation from numeric to algebraic and algebraic to numeric.

Pupils work several real-world problems that use percents in the 11th portion of a 20-part series. The problems contain percents involved with taxes, commissions, discounts, tips, fees, and interest. Scholars use the equations formed for...

Learn about polymers while playing with shrinky dinks. Young scholars create a shrinky dink design, bake it, and then record the area, volume, and thickness over time. They model the data using a graph and highlight the key features of...

Collaborative groups utilize their knowledge of parent functions and transformations to determine the equations associated with graphs. The graph is then related to the scenario it represents. 

Following detailed directions, teams collect the voltage and current outputs of a photovoltaic cell by adjusting the resistance. Using the collected data, they determine the highest power output. Implications for weather and a large...

In this linear motion worksheet, students answer 12 questions about displacement, velocity, and acceleration. They solve problems for acceleration, displacement and velocity and show the equations they used to find the solutions. They...

Students explain functions.  In this function lesson, students solve functions.  Groups of students develop strategies to perform operations with functions.  They write test questions using functions which include all...

In this Algebra II learning exercise, students are given a test of twenty-three problems regarding Rational Expressions and Rational Equations.  Some of the questions are multiple choice, while others are word problems or problem...

Think critically — and linearly by applying linear equations to solve real-world problems. Young mathematicians write equations to model the profit on popcorn and cotton candy at a carnival and solve problems using these equations.

For this derivative worksheet, pupils derive the equation of a plane containing given points. This one-page worksheet contains eight multi-step problems.

Graph it! Investigate transformations with a graphing calculator. Pupils graph sets of linear functions on the same set of axes. They determine how changes in the equation of a linear function result in changes in the graph.

Pupils investigate different equations and think critically how they could represent a real-life situation. They should write a word problem to coincide with the given equations. The lesson requires students to use critical thinking skills.

Often inequalities exist in many real-world contexts but young math learners struggle with understanding how to represent that relationship in a simple equation using an inequality. This activity focuses on the basic concepts by using...

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...

In this sum of integer worksheets, students formulate and prove the sums of cubes. They explore a quadratic polynomial, cubic polynomial and solve with systems of equations. This two-page worksheet contains eleven problems.

In this differentiation worksheet, pupils determine the seconds of motion, identify the constant, and speed of movement. This two-page worksheet contains five multi-step problems.

In this algebra worksheet, students compute 4 functions for a given value. They graph 4 functions, and write equations for two graphs. Each function has an exponent as the variable.

Ninth graders solve linear equations.  In this Algebra I instructional activity, 9th graders investigate the properties of equations (Reflexive, Symmetric, Transitive, Substitution, and Transformation Properties) and use these...

For this complex function worksheet, students examine the properties of integrals of complex functions of a real variable, smooth arcs, and the Jordan Curve Theorem. This two-page worksheet contains approximately seven equations.
