A great aspect of teaching math is that children have the freedom to solve problems using a variety of different strategies. The focus of this lesson plan is for young mathematicians to become aware of many ways of answering addition...

Middle-schoolers solve various problems related to proportions. They write ratios in word form and then, replace the words with numbers. Pupils also write an equation in which they will cross-multiply to solve the proportion. This is an...

Here is a straightforward practice test for first year chemistry learners. Responders balance equations, identify types of reactions, represent electron configurations, and solve stoichiometry problems. Keep this handy to use as...

Am I making any money? Help learners determine if their fictitious soda stand is turning a profit. They graph linear equations using the slope and y-intercept and identify the best price to use to sell soda. They identify the domain and...

This real-life model of braking distance motivates learners to approach quadratic equations algebraically, numerically, graphically, and descriptively.

Drawing from a scenario of the history of the penny, learners write and solve a system of linear equations from a context.

In this word problem worksheet, algebra students solve classic work problems. They find work rates, time to complete a task with a partner, or time to complete task alone. Twelve word problems are included in this worksheet. An answer...

Learners must think critically about the graphical and algebraic forms of a system of linear equations in order to come up with their own system when given a point that is the solution to the system.

Students explore parabolas.  In this algebra and technology lesson, students construct the equation of a specific parabola, then take digital photos of real-life representations of these parabolas.  Students create a podcast...

Learners solve and complete 22 various types of problems. First, they find the gradients of the lines and plot the given points. Then, they complete the table of values for each equation and use the table to draw the graph. 

Through exploration of linear programming through graphs and equations of inequalities, young scholars relate linear programming to real life scenarios, such as business. Graphing and shading is also part of this exercise.

Examine parts of an expression in this algebra lesson. Ninth graders identify the properties of the coefficient and their behavior to the graph. They graph the equation on a TI to see their results.

A single activity gets your math class to solve a word problem using two linear equations and two variables. They compare the summer earnings of Kimi and Jordan and then graph the solutions to determine who will save the most money in a...

The idea in the resource is to understand the connections between proportional relationships, lines, and linear equations. To stay within the context of the standard, skip the part of the resource that solves with unit rates. Instead,...

Five acidic and five basic solutions are listed for your chemistry apprentices to review. For each, they must state which atom or ion is being oxidized or reduced, and then name the oxidizing or reducing agent. Finally, they balance each...

Upper graders explore division through fair-shares. They will review fair shares and fractions as a segway into division. They start by playing "Share Fairly" game and create mathematical arguments for solving problems. Manipulatives and...

A great hands-on activity involving adding and subtracting, beginner mathematicians determine how many games can be played with 20 tickets. Instead of tickets, youngsters use 20 counters or linking cubes to represent the amount of...

Learners discover that a system of linear equations models this mixture of quinoa and corn in a collaborative task. Your learners receive all the relevant information in this second of three variants of tasks that ask them to find...

A mixture of quinoa and corn is for dinner in this collaborative task that sets up nicely as a system of linear equations. Your supper guests discuss numerical precision and percentages as they formulate a plan of how to solve the problem.

Learning math is so much more fun when it involves playing games. Following the rules of the classic game Memory, young mathematicians flip over two cards at a time as they look for numbers whose sum or difference is equal to the value...

Students apply their knowledge of math by rewriting word problems using equations. In this word problem lesson, students build upon previous knowledge as they set up the correct steps to solve word problems. This lesson is full of hints...

How many different ways can three planes intersect? The interactive provides three movable planes. Pupils manipulate the planes to determine the number of solutions possible based upon their intersections.
