Factor polynomial functions that have two and three terms. Using Algeblocks, your class will create models to show their understanding of these concepts.

How do you solve linear equations? Learn how to solve simple linear equations by applying properties of equality in this instructional slideshow. The materials include step-by-step instructions and key concepts to support understanding.

In this math worksheet, students read about and learn the properties of addition. Students study the commutative, associative, identity and inverse properties. There are no problems on this page for students to solve.

Students solve algebraic proportions. In this algebra lesson plan, students convert between fractions, percents and decimals. They solve problems using the distributive property.

Students participate in an activity to demonstrate the distributive property. They take notes as they observe different methods of FOIL. Afterward, students work on their own, and in groups to determine which method to use and complete...

In this square root learning exercise, learners multiply and divide square roots and simplify the answer. Problems contain exponents and two variables. This one-page learning exercise contains ten problems.

Students use concrete models (algebra blocks) to demonstrate their processes for solving quadratic equations. They apply the commutative, associative, and distributive properties to simplify algebraic expressions and to solve quadratic...

In this Algebra I worksheet, 9th graders use the distributive property to simply algebraic expressions involving fractions. Students identify equivalent forms of rational expressions. The two page worksheet contains twenty...

Sixth graders explore the concept of order of operations. In this order of operations lesson, 6th graders view a powerpoint about order of operations in society. Students post on a blog about order of operations.

Students collect statistical data.  In groups, students play a dart game and then determine the distance between darts.  They collect the data and plot the information on a coordinate plane.  They identify the mean and the...

Young scholars solve one step linear equations. In this algebra lesson, students manipulate their variables and numbers to answer each problem. They make sure the equations stay balanced at all times.

There are many ways to work through a multiplication problem. Using an area model, kids complete several worksheets with different types of multiplication problems, including multiplying by ten, and explain how the new strategies differ...

How do you know if a number is divisible? Instructors first prove the divisibility rules for three and four and then class members use this modeling to prove given divisibility rules for eight and nine either individually or in...

Class members create their own social networks by collecting signatures before graphing the interactions with their fellow classmates. The degree distribution of the simulated social network is determined by calculating the degree of...

Graphing all kinds of situations in one and two variables is the focus of this detailed unit of daily lessons, teaching notes, and assessments. Learners start with piece-wise functions and work their way through setting up and solving...

Something for young mathematicians to remember: the sum of any two sides must be greater than the third. Class members investigates the Triangle Inequality Theorem to find the relationship between the sides of a triangle. At the same...

Show your class how people calculated complex math problems in the old days. Scholars take a trip back to the days without calculators in the 15th installment of a 35-part module. They use logarithms to determine products of numbers and...

Expand your knowledge of exponents with an activity that promotes critical thinking and comparison skills. Middle and high schoolers compare numbers written in expanded and exponential form and explain their strategies for solving...

In this algebraic expression worksheet, students simplify algebraic expressions and solve proportions, and write equations from story problems. Thirteen of the 49 problems are fill in the blank, and the remainder are multiple choice.

Fourth graders use tangram sets to investigate the congruence of shapes. They use congruent shapes to demonstrate the properties of slides, flips, and turns. They complete a math journal entry that describes and illustrates each concept.

Create a slide show that explains and applies any of the operations and algebraic properties using integers. Slideshows are compiled, shown to the class, and critiqued for accuracy by the rest of the class.

Pupilsare introduced to the Pythagorean Theorem by exploring right triangles and the squares built on each side. They apply the Pythagorean Theorem to real-world problems. Students u se informal and nonformal arguments of proof (i.e.,...

Middle schoolers apply properties of probability to the real world. For this probability lesson, learners simulate the construction of empirical distribution. They collect and analyze data using central tendencies.

Here is a math lesson which has learners practice multiplying two and three digit numbers by one digit numbers. They discuss multiplication strategies and use those strategies to play a game.
