Welcome learners to the world of algebra. Use a lesson that poses a situation involving the profit from creating greeting cards to teach about algebra. It requires scholars to use linear functions and inequalities to solve problems.

Don't just use a fraction of this resource ... use it all. Learners first investigate patterns to determine how to deal with fractional exponents. Individuals then evaluate expressions involving fractional exponents.

Hammer away at building different types of functions. An engaging instructional activity builds on learners' knowledge of domain and range to create an understanding of composite functions. Young scholars learn to write...

The class braids irrational numbers, Pythagoras, and perimeter together. The mini-assessment requires scholars to use irrational numbers and the Pythagorean Theorem to find perimeters of rugs. The rugs are rectangular, triangular,...

In this limits worksheet, students use L'Hospital's Rule to solve two short answer problems. They solve fourteen short answer limits problems.

In this math worksheet, students solve multi-step computation problems. Each problem involves three numbers and a mix of addition, subtraction and multiplication. Students use the rules of order of operations to work the problems....

Students generate patterns from a structured situation, find a rule for the general term, and express it in words and symbols. They also devise and use problem solving strategies in a systematic way.

Ninth graders investigate the order of operations.  In this Algebra I lesson, 9th graders explore the rules of arithmetic and algebra as they review and practice simplifying increasingly complex numeric expressions using the order...

In this math worksheet, students evaluate 15 expressions using the order of operations. Students then evaluate 4 more expressions with given numerical values for variables.

Sixth graders construct a rule about the number of sides found in a pattern of hexagons. In this mathematical problem solving lesson, 6th graders observe different hexagon patterns and create a rule about the relationship between the...

Fifth graders utilize input/output tables to help them solve algebraic equations. They incorporate patterns, number sequences and relations to represent and analyze mathematical problems and number relationships using algebraic symbols.

In critiquing someone else's theory, learners share insight into their own understanding of mathematical concepts. Fifth graders will explore the notion that products are always larger than their factors. While this statement is...

Exploring functions not represented by an expression is this task's secret. As your learners organize business customers in a database, they explore the definition of what it is to be a function. 

Via the concrete setting of estimating the population of the US, your algebra learners are introduced to a logistic growth model. Comparing and contrasting logistic, exponential, linear and quadratic models, to see which fits the data...

Students determine how the weights of 7 objects on a seesaw can vary and still be in balance. They also write equations in algebraic terms, how to change 3 variables in an equation expressed in algebraic terms to obtain the correct...

In this division of polynomials learning exercise, 9th graders solve 10 different equations that include monomials. First, they divide each terms of the polynomial by the monomial and subtract the exponents. Then, students write the...

Parentheses are an important tool in the algebraic toolbox in regard to the structure of the algebraic equation. They are the beginning of the standard order of operations rule, the P in PEMDAS. The central question...

Students review and practice negative numbers, rules of signs and of brackets that include addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Included in this lesson is polygons and expanding brackets. Mastery of mathematical language...

Young scholars manipulate negative and positive numbers. In this integers lesson, students move through three activities exploring negative and positive whole numbers. A number line, cardboard function representation, and solving...

In this secondary mathematics activity, learners create a crossword review of algebra vocabulary.  The students must determine the correct answer to each clue and then determine the correct placement for the term in the 12 by 12...

In this Algebra II worksheet, 11th graders simplify radical expressions.  The two page worksheet contains explanation, worked example, and three practice problems.  Answers are not included. 

Eighth graders, while in the computer lab, access a web site to help them utilize manipulatives of cups and tiles to develop the skills necessary to understand multi-step equations. They assess the relationship between cups and tiles and...

Students analyze and develop symbolic representations to describe the amount of water left in a pool being pumped out after a given amount of time, with various pumping rates and initial quantities of water in the pool.

In this Algebra I worksheet, 9th graders use the order of operations to evaluate numerical expressions containing parenthesis and brackets.  The one page interactive worksheet contains instruction, worked examples and ten practice...
