A matrix is just a fancy way of making a table. Young scholars explore operations with matrices with the first lessons in the final module of a 10-unit Algebra II series. After adding, subtracting, and multiplying matrices, pupils use...

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...

There are many ways to correlate coffee to life, but in this case a worksheet looks at the price of two different sizes of coffee. It requires interpreting a graph with two unknown variables, in this case the price, and solving for...

What is the net effect when two waves interfere with each other? The lesson plan answers this question by helping the class visualize waves through graphing. Pupils graph individual waves and determine the effect of the interference...

In this properties worksheet, students solve 8 short answer and multiple choice questions. Students determine which algebraic property is represented by the given example.

In this addition and subtraction worksheet, students review the addition properties and the subtraction rules. Students then complete each number sentence and tell which property or rule was used.

In this algebraic expressions and addition properties worksheet, students write an algebraic expression for each word phrase in the first set of problems. Students then translate each algebraic expression into words in the second set. In...

In this algebraic expressions and addition properties worksheet, students write an algebraic expression for each word phrase. Students then translate each algebraic expression into words. In this third set, students evaluate each...

Eighth graders use the order of operation correctly. In this algebra lesson plan, 8th graders solve integers using the order of operation. They apply the commutative as well as the associate property to solve problems correctly.

Straight to the point, learners are asked to compare a set of five expressions, determine which are equivalent, and then write equivalent equations for those that do not have any. A benefit is that they will review using properties...

Trace the links between a variety of math concepts in this far-reaching unit. Ideas that seem very different on the outset (like the distance formula and rigid transformations) come together in very natural and logical ways. This...

I can multiply, so why can't I add these radicals? Mathematicians use the distributive property to explain addition of radical expressions. As they learn how to add radicals, they then apply that concept to find the perimeter of...

Prompt scholars to complete a magic square using only variables. Then they can attempt to solve a numerical magic square using algebra. 

Multiple-step problems don't have to equal tough problems. This worksheet provides a list of steps needed to go through multi-step equations that include combining like terms and distributing. With ten problems total, your learners will...

Geometric design makes a fashion statement! Challenge learners to design a hat to fit a Styrofoam model. Specifications are clear and pupils use concepts related to three-dimensional objects including volume of irregular shapes and...

Move vectors to determine their difference. Pupils use an interactive to visualize the opposite of a vector. They use the concept of adding vectors to subtract vectors by adding the opposite and, finally, view the differences of the...

In this properties worksheet, 9th graders solve and complete 29 various types of problems that include identifying various types of properties. First, they give an example of each property named. Then, students name the property...

Students discover how flight is possible.  In this physics lesson, students investigate the properties of a blimp and gyro-copter, comparing rotating wings and fixed wings of aircraft.  Students create their own model aircraft...

Students practice mental addition and use the associative and commutative properties of addition to solve problems.

For this addition properties worksheet, learners solve 17 problems, including 2 test prep problems. Houghton Mifflin text is referenced.

First graders investigate the Commutative Property of Addition. It is introduced using models such as students, counters, balances and dominoes. They discover the order of the numbers in an addition sentence does not change the result...

In this addition properties worksheet, learners compete a 10 question quiz, identifying the property that is demonstrated in each equation, associative, commutative or identity. Answers included on page 2.

For this math worksheet, students solve five problems, identifying each property as it is used. They identify the used property in 9 problems.

In this solving inequalities instructional activity, students solve 12 inequalities using addition and subtraction. Several inequalities involve having variables on both sides.
