Many scholars confuse velocity and acceleration even after they correctly solve basic problems. Using an interactive, part of a series on vectors and projectiles, with immediate feedback focuses their attention on the up or down...

Here is a straight-forward problem of multiplying two binomials with a twist. It is up to algebra learners to decide how to turn this product of sums into a sum of products. However, it is not the quadratic that is the answer; it is the...

Expand on learners' understanding of quadratic-linear systems. Building on the graphic understanding developed in the previous lesson, pupils learn algebraic methods of solving the systems. 

Build on the understanding of finding angles using trigonometric ratios. Pupils develop the definitions of inverse trigonometric functions by restricting their domains in the 13th lesson of a 16-part series. They use inverse functional...

Three sections review the key skills covered in a series on dimensional kinematics. The first covers the difference between distance and displacement. The second addresses the relationship between velocity and slope. The third includes...

Lead the class in a Greek history lesson with a geometric twist. Pupils relate a short video about geometric properties to modern-day methods of solving for unknown angles. They discuss parallel line theorems and complete...

Patterns are extremely helpful when solving a puzzle. Young scholars attempt to find times a bus will pass each stop. They identify a pattern in the known stop times to identify the solutions.

Examine the relationship between ratios and scale. Young math scholars compare ratios of two models. They use the ratios to make a comparison between the two models. Each image uses a different scale, which requires learners to think...

Scholars focus on associating balanced forces with at rest or constant velocity motion and unbalanced forces with acceleration or deceleration. Practice problems with immediate feedback allow for quick success in an installment of the...

Learn about butterflies and place value in a series of interdisciplinary lessons! With several worksheets that reference butterfly facts in word problems, kids can practice science and math in one activity. Additional worksheets are...

A decimal is just a fraction in disguise! Scholars learn methods for converting decimals and fractions including repeating decimals. Performing the conversions strengthens their understanding of the relationship between the two forms....

Substitution is still the method of choice to verify number sentences. The detailed lesson plan has young mathematicians determining conditions for when number sentences are true or false through substitution. They learn to express these...

How do scientists know they're right? Truth be told, they don't always know. Explore the scientific process using mystery tubes in an insightful activity. Young scientists discover how to approach and solve problems in science, how ideas...

Introduce your class to the lattice method as a way to multiply polynomials. This lesson plan is specifically aimed at getting students to use methods other than Algeblocks to solve polynomials.

In this system of equations worksheet, students solve 9 problems using the multiplication elimination method. Students are then asked to setup and solve 2 system of equations word problems using the elimination method.

Young mathematicians solve arithmetic and simple algebraic equations using properties of real numbers, equality, and inequality. Justifying the procedures is their next task. They solve a problem involving linear inequality and justify...

Young mathematicians examine the "Tic-tac-toe" factoring method to factor polynomials. They use algebra tiles to model solutions of binomial multiplication problems. They discuss strategies and observe teacher-made models for solving...

Middle schoolers engage in a study of equations and how they are solved using algebraic methods. This overrides the fact of guessing as done in earlier grades. They cover the concept of inverse operations as the main way to manipulate...

This practice worksheet includes simple radical equations, and some quadratic equations that can be solved by the square root method. There is good practice here in checking the solutions, and a few graphing problems. 

Learners explore example problems dealing with ratios and proportions. Afterward, they read story problems and solve them using ratios and proportions. This four-page worksheet contains six multi-step problems.
