Can you justify that mathematically?  Help learners see the process of solving as using mathematical properties rather than a set of steps to memorize in the fourth module of a nine-part Algebra I series. The module contains six...

Pupils complete a review learning exercise that highlights the key problems from the first eight lessons in the series. Topics include the Pythagorean Theorem and its converse, as well as finding volume of three-dimensional figures.

Use of the resource = Opportunities for increased learning. Learners must use equations and inequalities to solve real-world and geometric problems.

Split the work three ways. Learners use their knowledge of fractions to solve problems dealing with splitting up work loads evenly between three groups. Scholars determine the fractional portion of work each group will do along with...

Round and round they go ... where they stop, only scholars will know. By writing systems of equations, classes determine the number of cars a roundabout can handle given specific constraints. Systems use up to six variables and become...

Build a solid understanding of logarithmic functions and equations. Five lessons in the module begin by developing the concept of a logarithm. The next lessons address graphing logarithmic functions, logarithmic properties, and solving...

It turns out math IS for the birds! Here, learners use mathematical reasoning to determine how often someone needs to fill a bird feeder. The rate the feeder empties varies by the number of holes that are available to the birds. Day two...

Test mathematicians' knowledge of adding fractions with a brief assessment that challenges them to play teacher while correcting a peer's work. Scholars examine Carl's mathematical response, identify where he went wrong,...

The example of two travelers meeting somewhere along the road has been a stereotypical joke about algebra as long as algebra has existed. Here in this detailed presentation, this old trope gets a careful and approachable treatment....

Using equations to model events. The resource contains four items that prompt individuals to write and solve basic equations. They must reason abstractly and quantitatively while attending to precision when solving the problems.

Learners demonstrate their knowledge pictorially, concretely, and abstractly in this unit meant to last three hours over three days. Using hands-on activities, manipulatives,  real-world applications, and problem...

Connect the tortoise and the hare fable to mathematics. Learners first identify key terms related to distance, rate, and time. They then solve distance/rate/time problems using different representations.

Reviewing the process of solving equations is as easy as one click of a button. Scholars solve linear and quadratic equations by using a helpful interactive. The computer app automatically scores responses, providing immediate feedback...

Ali has more marbles than Maria in some of these word problems, while in others Maria has more marbles than Ali. First graders are tasked to read each word problem and solve how many marbles each girl has.

Demonstrate the application of algebra to geometric angle relationships with an activity that asks learners to use what they know about adjacent and vertical angles to write algebraic equations. Diagrams become more complex in this...

Let your first graders translate these word problems into subtraction sentences. Some of the equations involve finding the answer after Char gives some of her markers away, while others require finding the amount of markers Char started...

They say a picture is worth a thousand words—and your pupils may agree after this instructional activity! They read a geometric description and create a diagram from that description. Their diagrams help them find unknown measures based...

Building a doghouse is easier with a little mathematical help! Young scholars use sliders to adjust the length of the doghouse and watch as it affects the width and area. They then answer questions that help them discover the question...

Learners solve real life scenarios using algebra. In this word problem lesson, students use different websites dealing with engineering as it relates to the real world and math. They use other resources such as magazines to solve word...

In this history and math worksheet, students solve 20 problems pertaining to life in America in the 1800s. Students read four paragraphs and solve the five problems using that information. Basic math operations are used.

Students examine the relationships among living and non-living parts of the environment. Using their senses, they identify the objects in their classroom. In groups, they participate in experiments to discover where electricity comes...

Fourth graders create and solve sports-related word problems.

In this word problem worksheet, students complete ten multiple choice word problems by choosing the correct mathematical operation. This is an interactive worksheet.

In this solving equations activity, students solve 10 multiple choice and word problem equations.  Students use the distributive property to combine like terms and isolate the variable.
