In this questing numbers worksheet, students use algebra equations to discover how the teacher correctly chooses the students' numbers each and every-time.  A pencil, key, stamp, yarn, and overhead are needed for this activity.

Fifth graders use patterns, models and relationships to solve equations.  In this equations instructional activity, 5th graders define vocabulary for equations and complete worksheets explaining variables and solving problems.

For this math worksheet, students factor quadratic expressions into binomials. Each quadratic expression is in the form x^2 +/-bx+/-c. The first set involves only addition. On the second page, each quadratic equals zero and students...

Eighth and ninth graders solve five different problems that include solving two equations. They determine the point of intersection in each of the five pairs of equations given. Pupils define point of intersection as the point where two...

Students are introduced to the concept of variables and their uses. In groups, they are given a code in which they must find the value of the missing words. To end the lesson, they find the value of words over ten letters long and their...

Students explore how dance can be infused with mathematics. In this art and mathematics instructional activity, students recognize how the ABA dance form is similar to a math number sentence. Students create a dance choosing dance words...

Learners simplify simple equations. Using a maze game, young mathematicians speculate about the size of different algebraic values and what other equivalent expressions might look like. It is a nice beginning activity for introducing...

Students watch the teacher demonstrate on an overhead projector how to graph various equations before the students try them on their own. They start with pencil and paper; once they grasp the concept they move on to punching in the...

Students explore the concept of multi-step equations. In the multi-step equation lesson, students solve equations by the 'party method'. Students make a flip book that shows the steps in solving multi-step equations.

In this Algebra I activity, 9th graders explore the basic of beginning algebra:  the order of operations, integer operations, translating phrases and sentences, and solving basic one-step equations.  The six page activity...

Learners explore the concept of solving two-step equations. In this solving two-step equations lesson, students watch a short video about solving equations. Learners view a PowerPoint presentation about solving two-step equations....

In this variables with exponents activity, students solve for the variable when given an exponent and the number it equals. Students complete 6 problems total.

In this math worksheet, students solve systems of two linear equations using either the substitution method or the elimination method. Seven of the twenty problems have a coefficient of one for one of the two variables.

Eleventh graders define various types of linear systems and three types of solutions. In this linear system and echelon forms lesson, 11th graders solve a linear system using elementary row operations. Students also describe the set of...

Give the class a mental work out with an assessment task in which young mathematicians compare several gym membership options. They use substitution to calculate the cost for given numbers of months.

Whether scholars understand independent and dependent variables depends on you. The 32nd installment of a 36-part series has learners analyze relationships in real-world problems through tables. They determine independent and dependent...

Connect graphs, equations, and tables for real-world problems. Young mathematicians analyze relationships to identify independent and dependent variables. These identifications help create tables and graphs for each situation.

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...

Explore linear programming on a website game. Partners solve a real-world problem by setting up an objective function and a linear inequality. They graph their results on chart paper and also using a calculator before presenting their...

School subjects connect when your young scholars use math to edit English. Math allows you to convert an entire paragraph into a simple equation or inequality. Examples encourage learners to write expressions, equations, and inequalities...

Use proportions to determine the travel distance in a given amount of time. The 10th installment in a series of 33 uses tables and descriptions to determine a person's constant speed. Using the constant speed, pupils write a linear...

Number towers use addition or multiplication to ensure each level is equal. While this is common in factoring, it is often not used with algebraic equations. Solving these six questions relies on problem solving skills and being able to...

True or false? Scholars determine the truth value of equations and inequalities through substitution. All values to use for substitution are given with each equation or inequality. This is the 24th lesson plan in a module of 36.

Use statistics to decide if NFL quarterbacks earn their salaries! Learners study correlation coefficients after using technology to calculate regression equations. Through the data, they learn the meaning of correlation and correlation...
