When is the last time you assigned your students only one problem? This seemly simple problem requires learners think like a mathematician and reason about how to solve this compound inequality in one variable. More than just using...

An informative module highlights eight polynomial concepts. Learners work with polynomial functions, expressions, and equations through graphing, simplifying, and solving. 

Class members create a table of the number of chords that can be drawn given the number of points on a circle. Pupils analyze the data created, find a function to fit to it, and use the function to make further predictions.

Time to study the most sensible function — rational functions! The seven-lesson unit develops the concept of a rational function through a connection to rational numbers and fractions. Scholars graph functions, solve equations, and...

You can't go wrong with a lesson that involves candy! Learners solve and graph one-variable inequalities and use candy to graph the solution. Individuals associate open circle graphs with life savers and closed circle graphs with round...

This activity helps young mathematicians connect the graph and the point-slope form of a line, by first solving a real-world problem and then using that example to motivate the understanding of the equation. By manipulating the gizmo,...

Reinforce math vocabulary with a set of flash cards. With a total of forty-eight cards, each are printed in bold font, and include definition cards that offer a labeled example. Terms include absolute value, ordered...

How can baseball and skeet-shooting be modeled mathematically? Sports lovers and young mathematicians learn how to use quadratic equations and systems of equations to model the flight paths of various objects.

Associative property of addition, exponents, and variables are a few of the terms that a set of flash cards includes and are designed to support math vocabulary instruction. Cards offer a a bold-faced font as well as a thorough...

Agriculture is truly a math-based profession! Help the dairy farmer determine the supplies needed to complete his barn. Using given dimensions, learners build equations and use units to determine the correct amount of materials.

Students graph exponential equations of the form y=Ma. They understand the effects of M, a, and k on the graph. They solve application problems using exponential functions.

What linear equation will fit this data, and how close is it? Through discussion and partner work, young mathematicians learn the procedure to determine a regression line in order to make predictions from the data. 

Let's get the herd to follow the rules. The activity associated with the second lesson in the unit introduces the class to the definition of a function. Individuals must gather in groups of zebras and rhinos defined by the general...

This is a cool math activity. Kids collect and interpret data based on a physical act. A board is balanced between a scale and a step, learners record a peer's weight as it decreases while s/he walks further away from the scale. They...

Solve systems of equation problems using four different methods: elimination by addition or subtraction, graphing, elimination by multiplication, and substitution. Middle schoolers are then given a series of "missions" to complete.

Ninth graders graph linear equations and inequalities in two variables and then, they write equations of lines and find and use the slope and y-intercept of lines. They use linear equations to model real data and define to define the...

In this using inverse operations to solve fraction equations worksheet, learners review the steps and examples, solve the problem, and use substitution to check their answer. Students solve one problem.

This short handout addresses the concept of slope in two different ways: geometrically and analytically. Start with a brief description of slope, then use graphical representations to compare positive vs. negative slope and zero vs....

In this linear equation learning exercise, learners solve five systems of linear equations using the substitution method.  Three examples with steps to solve are provided.
