In this completing the square instructional activity, students simplify given equations by completing the square. This one-page instructional activity contains ten problems.

Domain to a math teacher makes perfect sense, but it can seem like gibberish to high schoolers. As it is laid out in clear terms, domain is introduced and explained among all types of functions throughout the handout. The first three...

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...

During an inquiry-based lesson plan, scholars decide which variable to test and then design an experiment to determine the needs of producers. After two weeks, they complete a full analysis and research paper.

Students are introduced to the elimination method in Algebra. As a class, they solve two linear equations with two unknowns using this new method. They discuss the positive and negative aspects of using this method to solve problems. ...

In this variables and expressions worksheet, students solve and complete 20 different problems that include various types of expressions. First, they write a variable expression of each given algebraic expression. Then, students write an...

For this control and experimental variables worksheet, students read about the variables in an experiment and practice identifying each in 2 experiments. Students analyze the data in an experiment, identify the hypothesis and the...

In this writing equations for comparison word problems worksheet, learners use a as the variable in equations, compare numbers, and solve. Students solve six problems.

Students use an on line website to simulate the effects of light intensity and wavelength on photosynthesis. In this photosynthesis lesson plan, students determine how wavelength of light and intensity of light affect the rate at which...

Learners identify the slope of linear functions. For this slope lesson, students collect data and graph it. They write equations with no more than two variables and use technology to explain their data.

Pupils explore the concept of derivatives. They use implicit differentiation to determine points on a graph where a tangent line is horizontal, vertical, or oblique. Finally, learners find the derivative of a polynomial by...

In this multi-step equations worksheet, 9th graders solve and complete 11 different problems that include applying several steps to complete each one. First, they determine what the operations have done to the variable and undo these...

In this solving equations worksheet, students solve 15 equations with variables on both sides of the equal sign. Students are encouraged to check all solutions.

Ninth graders solve multi-step equations.  In this Algebra I lesson, watch a video on solving equations with variables on both sides of the equal sign.  Students visit an Internet site to solve simple equations through the use...

In this equations and formulas worksheet, 9th graders solve and complete 15 different problems. First, they solve for the variable x in each equation. Then, students solve for y in each equation. In addition, they write an equation and...

In this systems of equations worksheet, high schoolers translate word problems into algebraic equations.  They solve system of equations problems dealing with geometry, money, investment, angles and age problems. ...

In this equations activity, 4th graders solve 8 problems in which the value of the variable is identified after testing the 4 possibilities provided.

Students solve inequalities and systems of equations. For this algebra lesson, students use substitution and elimination as they solve algebraic systems. They use graphing and a table to support their solutions.

In this quadratic equations worksheet, students rewrite five given equations into quadratic equations by changing the variables.  Students then find the real solutions for three quadratic equations.

In this systems of equations worksheet, 9th graders solve and complete 19 different problems. First, they solve each of the given equations. Then, students set the equations up in standard form and enter the coefficients of x and y. They...

In this least squares activity, students solve 3 different problems that include determining the least squares of equations. First, they use the data given in the table to write out the normal equations a system of 2 equations in 2...

In this solving equations worksheet, students solve and complete 12 different problems that include solving various equations by addition or subtraction. First, they identify and define the difference between using the addition property...
