Students create number lines using decimals and whole numbers. In this algebra lesson plan, students graph and solve linear equations. They plot ordered pairs on a coordinate plane correctly.

What connection does the quadratic formula have with a quadratic equation? Using a matching activity, pupils construct the algebraic derivation of the quadratic formula in this Algebra II lesson task. The task provides two variations of...

Encourage class members to get creative with functions. Pairs write their names and draw pictures using a graphing application with a collaborative graphic project. The resource provides the requirements for the project, as well as a...

Students solve problems using the order of operation. For this algebra lesson, students factor, subtract, add and divide using the correct order to remove parentheses. They simplify expressions by combining like terms.

In this slope of a line worksheet, students solve 10 different problems that include determining the slope of a line that passes through the given points. First, they use the slope formula by placing each of the points in the correct...

In this investigating parabolas instructional activity, 9th graders solve and graph 7 different problems that include graphing various equations that represent parabolas. First, they sketch their graphs to each problem. Then, students...

In this linear equations worksheet, students solve 3 multiple choice problems. Students determine if a given point lies on a line given an equation of that line.

In this distance formula worksheet, students solve and complete 28 various types of problems. First, they find the distance between each pair of points provided. Then, students solve and graph the points.

Teach collaboration and communication skills in addition to graphing logarithmic functions. Scholars in different groups graph different logarithmic functions by hand using provided coordinate points. These graphs provide the basis for...

The brother-sister pair Carlos and Clarita need your class's help in developing their new pet sitting business. Through a variety of scenarios and concerns presented to the siblings, the learners thoroughly explore systems of equations...

In this graphing points worksheet, learners plot ordered pairs on a coordinate plane. They graph 20 given problems, with 10 problems requiring students to graph two or more points.

Students discover how to apply the order of operations to evaluating algebraic expressions. In pairs, they solve problems by placing the order of operations steps in correct order. As an exit slip, students write paragraphs about an...

Seventh graders practice using the Order of Operations to simplify algebraic expressions. They start with some basic operations and move into gradual harder problems to bring to the level of mastery.

In this function table worksheet, 5th graders solve and complete 10 different function tables shown. First, they determining the ordered pairs in each table. Then, students use number patterns to complete each table filling in the output...

Those graphing calculators can be tricky; good thing Texas Instruments has devised a lesson plan on how to use their TI-Nspire calculator to graph functions. Kids investigate functional notation as they graph ordered pairs in the form...

Solving systems of equations underpins much of advanced algebra, especially linear algebra. Developing an intuition for the kinds and descriptions of solutions is key for success in those later courses. This intuition is exactly what...

Play a game of capture the points. Young scholars receive a number line with specific points graphed and must write an inequality that captures all the points. The second task of the algebra project is to write an inequality with...

Use equivalent expressions to reveal information about their graphs. Pupils verify that two quadratic functions are equivalent. By comparing the two expressions, they determine the vertex, the zeros, the y-intercept, and the...

In this test of knowledge worksheet, students answer 2 story problems, they solve 6 systems of equations. Students multiply 2 maxrix sets. They determine the inverse of two matrices. Students determine the linear regression line for two...

Is there another way to view whether the data is linear or not? Class members work alone and in pairs to create scatter plots in order to determine whether there is a linear pattern or not. The exit ticket provides a quick way to...

Why do I have to learn two different ways to solve linear-quadratic systems? Isn't one way enough? Learners first investigate the three possible situations for linear-quadratic systems (two, one, or zero solutions), then solve such...

How do you show that something is a rectangle? This activity starts with four coordinate points and asks young geometers to explain whether they create a rectangle. Knowledge from both geometry and algebra come into play here, as well...

Context is the key to understanding slope. A real-world application of slope uses a weight loss scenario with a constant rate of change to introduce the concept of slope of a line, before it makes a connection to the ordered pairs...
