Multiple Variables in an Equation
Young mathematicians apply problem-solving skills to equations that have more than one variable. They will work through the process to problem solve and discover the solution.
Curated OER
Connecting Formulas Related to Geometric Figures
Students identify diagrams of quadrilaterals and circles by different names and classify the figures. They name the areas for each diagram and practice solving the formulas for each.
Curated OER
Plan or Move
Students note the similarities between decimals, fractions and percentages. They practice converting numbers between these types. They participate in an activity as well.

Investigation - Looking For Triangles
Seventh graders investigate a series of triangles, looking for patterns and generalizing what they have found. They analyze the pattern data and organize it into a table and graph. Students identify the relationship and discover the rule...
Curated OER
60-30-10
Students use ratios and proportions to represent quantitative relationships as they investigate the concept of how percentages are used by designers. Students decorate the same room using three different percentages of colors.

Take Your Medicine 2
Real-world application of the finite geometric series. Sick? Need to take Ampicillin? How much is in the body at any given point in time as this medication is taken over the course of time. Use the formulas, make calculation, and graph...
Curated OER
Graphing the Population Explosion of Weeds
Students are introduced to the seed cycle and draw the specific steps. In groups, they identify the human barriers to the spreading of weeds. After calculating the rate of spreading of the Yellowstar Thistle, they create graphs to see a...
Curated OER
Introducing the Concept: Exponents and Powers of Ten
Fifth and sixth graders gain information about the powers of ten and exponents. They participate in a teacher demonstration of how using the powers of ten helps learn the place value chart. Pupils create their own place value chart.
Curated OER
Prime Factorizations - Post Test
In this prime factorizations instructional activity, students complete a set of 10 multiple choice questions. Students may print out the test or click on a link to see answers.
Curated OER
Rational Exponents
In this Algebra worksheet, students simplify expressions involving rational exponents. The one page worksheet contains explanation, examples and nine practice problems.
Robert Gordon University
Indices
The laws of exponents are written on a handy reference sheet. Note that since this worksheet was written in the UK, powers or exponents are also called indices (singular: index). If this does not pose a problem for you, the concepts and...
Curated OER
The Virtuoso Phenomenon
After reading the New York Times article "Virtuosos Becoming a Dime a Dozen," learners answer eight who, what, when, where, and why questions. They post their answers on the New York Times Education Blog. A fun way to get learners...

Graphing and the Coordinate Plane
Ready to introduce your class to the coordinate plane? This website includes a detailed lesson plan that includes two interactive games to help learners practice graphing ordered pairs. The scripted discussion is a little cheesy and a...
Curated OER
Solving Linear Equations
Use this worksheet for practice or review solving linear equations in one variable. Problems range from multiple-step problems involving parentheses and combining like terms, to word problems, to equations with no solution or infinitely...
Curated OER
Solving Absolute Value Inequalities
Start this activity with a brief description of how to solve absolute value inequalities. A space is provided to help classify the inequalities into types (greater than, less than, or equal to) and for learners to show how to graph their...
Curated OER
Power Function Inverses
Pupils graph polynomial functions and analyze the graphs. They identify the inverse of the functions and find the domain and range. Learners will then label the functions as one to one and use the horizontal and vertical line test to...
Curated OER
Calculator-Based Lessons Help Examine Real-World Data
Students may determine equations based on graphs and regression models.
Curated OER
Carbon Dating
Simulate C-14 decay using M&M and Reese's Pieces candies. In this scatter-plot lesson plan, students perform an experiment to simulate the half life of C-14. Information is plotted on a scatter-plot. Students answer four...
