In this scientific method worksheet, students click on the links in the questions about the scientific method to find the answers to the questions and then come back and answer the questions. Students answer 12 questions total.

Students conduct an experiment and complete a chart demonstrating some of the basic properties and components of water via the scientific method. They encompass strategies such as questioning, making predictions, comparing/contrasting...

In this sampling errors worksheet, students problem solve to find the sampling errors for each word problem. Students finish by finding a sampling method that might bias the last surveys.

How can you solve systems of linear equations? This slideshow introduces learners to the substitution method, the elimination method using addition and subtraction, and the elimination method using multiplication. Guided practice...

Pupils factor polynomial equations. In this algebra lesson, students apply the zero product property to factor quadratic equations. They solve real life scenarios by apply the concepts of parabolas.

Practice solving two equations with two unknowns. Here are five problems for using the substitution method. Included are clear, concise step-by-step instructions for the learner to follow. Problems start out easy and gradually get...

Seventh graders practice finding the area and perimeter of polygons. In this polygon area lesson plan, 7th graders brainstorm shapes and take a walk to locate shapes. Students record properties of shapes and use various shapes to...

Review basic algebraic rules of addition of integers. Then have the class define a variable and explore methods of solving equations with one variable. They observe solving expressions using inverse operations and simplifying solutions....

To investigate the price of bananas in order to evaluate basic counting and number sense skills, your mathematicians focus upon multiplication and problem solving that incorporates social studies in the form of building awareness about...

In this trigonometry instructional activity, students use integration to solve for the six different trigonometric identities. They use indefinite integrals to solve problems. There are 27 questions with an answer key.

First graders solve number sentences. In this problem solving lesson plan, 1st graders construct addition sentences using a part part whole mat. Students demonstrate problem solving strategies using cubes.

In this math problem solving activity, students describe how they will decide which coin among a stack is heavier than the others by weighing them. The challenge is to do so in the fewest number of steps. The answer is thoroughly...

Young scholars chart the steps, including the problem-solving tangent, and discuss the idea of procedures serving to give us a "road map" or guide to help tackle tasks with preparation and forethought.

Review the multiple methods of solving quadratic equations through an analysis of the discriminant. Scholars use the discriminant to determine the best solution method and then solve various equations. As a challenge, learners build...

Unfortunately for young mathematicians, the world isn't made entirely of parallelograms, triangles, and trapezoids. After first learning the area formulas for these common shapes, students apply this new knowledge to...

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...

It's scary how fast bacteria can grow — exponentially. Class members solve exponential equations, including those modeling bacteria and population growth. Lesson emphasizes numerical approaches rather than graphical or algebraic.

Most problems can be solved using more than one method. A worksheet includes just nine questions but many more ways to solve each. Scholars must graph, solve, and justify quadratic problems.

Here is a learning exercise that takes all aspects of quadratic functions and incorporates imaginary numbers into the problems. The problems range from simplifying to graphing and solving by using a variety of methods with imaginary and...

Try to find an estimate when the exact answer is not clear. Using the General Certificate of Secondary Education Math review resource, pupils learn how to find an estimate to a cubic equation. Class members use the trial-and-improvement...

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.

Challenge the class to utilize their knowledge of linear and quadratic functions to determine the intersection of the parent quadratic graph and linear proportional graphs. Using the pattern for the solutions, individuals develop a...

Pupils try to get a collar on temperature with a short assessment item that asks them to compare two different methods in converting Celsius to Fahrenheit. Individuals try to find out when an estimation provides conversions that are...

Up the difficulty level by solving a system of equations with variable coefficients. Young scholars devise a plan to solve for x and y in terms of a and b. They represent their solutions as expressions and explain their...
