Solve simultaneous linear equations, otherwise known as systems of linear equations. Pupils practice solving systems of linear equations by graphing, substitution, and elimination. The workbook provides a class activity and homework...

Use tables, graphs, and substitution to solve systems of linear equations. An envelope of sample problems is passed around the classroom, and each learner has the opportunity to solve the system in the envelope. This is a great way to...

Provide guidance and practice of the useful skill: solving rational equations using both an algebraic and graphical approach. Pupils solve increasingly more difficult rational equations using algebraic methods. After, they...

Solve real-world financial math problems. High schoolers will work through a series of problems as they look at credit card interest, bill payment, and other real-world personal money matters.

Where did that formula come from? Lead pupils on a journey through completing the square to discover the creation of the quadratic formula. Individuals use the quadratic formula to solve quadratic equations and compare the method 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.

Use the Law of Cosines and the Law of Sines to solve problems using the sums of vectors. Pupils work on several different types of real-world problems that can be modeled using triangles with three known measurements. In the process,...

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.

An applicable task presents a problem for pupils to solve: where to go for a class field trip. The pupils must take into consideration the first and second choices of members of the class when determining where to go. Individuals also...

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...

Students use scientific process skills to solve a problem. For this scientific investigation lesson, students investigate a scientific problem, work through the scientific method to form a conclusion. They share their work and findings...

Students explore how to use the scientific method to solve problems.  In this scientific lesson plan students define terms, apply the method to problems and search the internet and find sites that cover the scientific method.

In this linear systems activity, 9th graders solve and complete 24 different problems that include solving various linear systems. First, they read through each example and define the two methods described for solving linear systems of...

Student's recall from memory the steps in the scientific method. TSWBAT describe in detail the various steps of the scientific method. TSWBAT analyze a problem or situation and apply the steps of the scientific method to it.

In this scientific method and paper airplanes worksheet, students go through the steps of the scientific method to determine which paper airplane design is best. They complete 8 steps of the scientific method including stating the...

Learners experiment with water, dropper and a coin to study the scientific method. In this scientific method lesson plan, students are in groups, each with a coin, water and a dropper. They investigate how many drops of water can fit on...

In this systems of equations activity, 11th graders solve and complete 10 different sets of problems that include three variables. First, they simplify each equation and put them in standard form. Then, students choose to eliminate any...

In this translating a story problem learning exercise, students translate a word problem into algebraic symbols. They solve the problem. Students move their mouse over the problem to see the answer.

Students demonstrate several problem solving techniques. They get through their problem by talking it out using the I message with one another. "Rock, paper, scissors" method is the most popular used by the students to solve a problem....

In this problem solving learning exercise, students estimate possible solutions to given functions. They determine the solution to given equations. This two-page learning exercise contains 2 multi-step problems.

Math whizzes solve and complete 20 different problems. Problems are solved using the substitute, or the equal values method. Learners also create their own systems of equations based on word problems. 

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...
