Math whizzes read through three examples on solving linear equations and then work online through three practice problems. For the practice questions, they can click on "Show me. . . " to see the solution. A total of 26 linear equation...

In this density worksheet, students review how to rearrange the equation for density to solve for mass or volume. Then students complete 4 problems.

Write a math story for a series of problems using given variables. The class writes stories, showing understanding of strategies in compound sentences. They then solve the equations.

Keep track of your sixth graders' mastery of the Common Core math standards with this practice assessment. Taking a different approach than most standardized tests, this resource includes not only multiple choice questions, but also...

Determine the better deal. Pupils write the equation for the cost of printing tickets from different printers. They compare the costs graphically and algebraicaly to determine which printer has the best deal based upon the quantity of...

Rumor has it that an exponential can be undone. After playing a rumor game to model exponential growth, pupils learn about undoing exponential functions. They use the definition of the logarithm to convert exponential equations to...

Expand area problems to incorporate prior knowledge. Pupils begin by reviewing the formulas for finding the area of parallelograms and triangles. The scholars apply previous learning of trigonometric ratios and the Pythagorean Theorem to...

In this linear programming worksheet, students solve and complete 6 different word problems related to programming. First, they define the variables in each problem and write a system of inequalities. Then, students graph the...

If you think Dr. Seuss has no place in a math classroom, then take a look at this resource. Based on the classic children's book Green Eggs and Ham, this sequence of activities engages children learning to model real-world contexts...

Far out — plan a trip to space! Aspiring mathematicians steer a space vehicle through an asteroid field, calculate currency exchanges to buy provisions, and determine placement of charges to blow up asteroids. Along the way, they learn...

True or false: 20 = 10 + 10. The statement is true because two 10s make a 20. These are the types of equations learners must label or false. They must also explain in mathematical terms how they know.

Wait, let's start over — teach your class how to return to the beginning. The first lesson looking at inverse matrices introduces the concept of being able to undo a matrix transformation. Learners work with matrices with a determinant...

It is all in a matter of time. The model curriculum module uses parametric equations and vectors to solve problems dealing with particle motion along a curve. At the beginning of the lesson, the unit reviews parametric equations and...

Help your pupils find a pattern of direct variation. Young scholars use input-output pairs to find a constant of variation and then write the equation. As they build their equations, the interactive lesson provides feedback.

If you like to start each day with a new math challenge or warm-up, this resource is a must have. It includes 36 slides, each containing a different math challenge that stimulates algebraic reasoning, problem solving, and basic math...

An informative presentation covers motion, metric system, conversions, graphing of coordinates and lines, speed, velocity, and acceleration problems, as well as mean calculations. This is the first lesson in a 26-part series.

If your youngsters are new to numbers, here are several interactive strategies to get them thinking about even and odd numbers. For example, they can count the number of desks, people, etc. in the room and determine if it is even or odd....

You would probably do anything for your Nana, including fixing her mistakes! Nana provided the wrong ratio to mix red and white paint, and she didn't realize it until after she mixed the paint. Your class now needs to figure out how to...

In this ordered pair and linear systems worksheet, students problem solve two equations involving ordered pairs and solving linear systems by graphing.

In this math worksheet, students learn to read a word problem, write an equation, solve for the variable and write and label the answer. There are examples given at the top of the page although directions tell students to "use...

Young mathematicians listen to the book Sold!: A Mathematics Adventure by Nathan Zimelman where they encounter ways to solve story problems. They then create and solve start unknown addition and subtraction equations. Resource builds in...

In this equation of a line worksheet, students determine the equation of a line, use the distance formula to identify the relationship between two moving objects, and solve inequalities algebraically. This two-page worksheet contains...

Students use, with increasing confidence, problem-solving approaches to investigate and explain mathematical content. They make and test conjectures. They use tables and graphs as tools to interpret expressions, equations, and inequalities.

Students use the children's story of The Tortoise And The Hare in order to investigate the graphing of equations. The story is converted to an algebraic word problem for them to solve. Students investigate the relationships of data and...
