Students explore the concept of problem solving strategies. In this problem solving strategies lesson, students discuss methods for solving problems such as re-reading a problem, stating the facts, drawing a picture and so on. Students...

Pupils use the problem solving strategy of guess and check to investigate math word problems. They determine which problem solving strategy or strategies would work best in problem situations.

The idea behind this lesson plan is to introduce learners to the health and environmental issues related to the use of computers. The lecture should include topics such as tendonitis and carpal tunnel syndrome, but information is not...

In this word problem solutions learning exercise, students solve and complete 5 different problems that include solving various types of word problems. First, they calculate the total cost and cost per students for the table shown. Then,...

In this titration worksheet, students determine the moles of product plus the molarity of the solution created. This worksheet has 6 problems to solve.

For this mathematic problem solving worksheet, 2nd graders read a short story problem that can be solved with extended addition or multiplication. They use the text boxes and lines to present their solutions using number, pictures, and...

Although this word problem could be solved without algebra, it is an ideal way to incorporate algebraic equations and variables for easier solutions. The answer is explained below, so use this as an all-class warm up and cover up the...

Popcorn is a tasty part of a culminating activity designed to motivate readers to share important literary elements. The popcorn fills the inside of a white paper bag that is transformed on the outside into a presentation tool with the...

Finding out how to calculate tax and tip is a valuable skill that all young adults should be able to do without a calculator. Learners are given a bill and asked to calculate the tax, tip, and total amount. Calculations can be exact or...

How many legs to 349 frogs have? How many ears are on 105 puppies? These and other fun multiplication word problems will have learners applying their math skills to realistic scenarios using two- and three-digit multiplication. 

Students explore math functions by completing worksheets in class. In this word problem lesson plan, students read the story A Remainder of One and practice solving division problems from the story. Students complete a worksheet which...

In this acids and bases worksheet, students calculate the concentration of OH- and the pH of solutions. This worksheet has 10 problems to solve.

In this calculus activity, students solve problems using the first and second derivatives. They define the behavior of the function based on the derivative. There are 11 questions with an answer key.

How much do a pencil and sticker cost? Youngsters use a bar diagram to find the cost of a sticker that is twenty cents less than the cost of a pencil. Given the prices, learners must find the cost of the sticker in order to find the cost...

Young scholars study the law of sine and cosine. In this pre-calculus lesson, students create a triangle and identify the different ratios of a non-right triangle. They use the properties of sine and cosine to solve.

Base ten blocks serve as visual representations of numbers that include decimals to the hundredths place. Children compare and order decimals in their math journal as they build the corresponding numbers with base ten blocks.

In this parallel and perpendicular line instructional activity, students find equations of a line, then determine an equation of a line that is parallel or perpendicular to the original one. They graph problems and plot points. There are...

Eliminate the obvious. A series of slides presents algebra classes with step-by-step procedures for solving systems of equations using the elimination method. It provides an introduction to the elimination method for...

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...

Don't drop the ball on the resource ... drop an egg instead! A teacher-led demonstration has the class consider how to drop eggs into glasses when a tray is in the way. Hint: If you've ever seen a magician pull a tablecloth off a table,...

Young geometers become pool sharks in this analysis of the angles and lengths of a trick shot. By using angles of incidence and reflection to develop similar triangles, learners plan the exact placement of balls to make the shot....
