Middle schoolers explore expected value, are introduced to the concept of varying payoffs, and have used a computer simulation of a "real world" example where expected value is used

Students conduct an experiment in which they react sodium bicarbonate with hydrochloric acid to determine the molar ration between the two reactants. Students must write correct formula and a balanced chemical equation and explain how...

Sew up your unit on operations with decimals using this assessment task. Young mathematicians use given rules to determine the amount of fabric they need to sew a pair of pants. They must also fill in a partially complete bill for...

Students demonstrate fraction symbols. In this fractions lesson plan, students use paper strips to represent various fractions. Students then use fraction circles to compare various given fractions.

Student are assigned one of the sections on whole numbers. After reviewing the content, they teach their assigned sections to other class mates. They publish their findings on a PowerPoint slide show to use when they teach their section.

High schoolers discuss what expected value is, they are introduced to the concept of varyting payoffs. Students use a computer simulation of a "real world" example where expected value is used.

Students perform mathematical operations on complex numbers. After a lecture/demo, students utilize a worksheet imbedded in this plan to gain practice performing operations on complex numbers.

Students pretend they are about to buy their first new car. They must do all the calculations necessary to estimate the cost of purchasing the car. They see that the math they learn in school really does have real-life applications.

Third graders create a box big enough to hold a million dollars. This is a project fun to do near the winter holidays with inexpensive gifts included in the boxes. This hands-on lesson very effectively demonstrates the concept of volume.

This comprehensive study guide highlights the main terms and formulas needed to review solving rational equations. Examples are included.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Use cross products and LCDs to solve rational equations.

Given real-life problems, the student will select an appropriate method and solve problems involving proportional relationships.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Solve real-world problems involving the addition and subtraction of fractions and evaluate change.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] This lesson covers solving rational equations using the LCD of the denominators to eliminate them.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this lesson students learn how to solve rational equations by clearing denominators. Students examine guided notes, review guided practice, watch instructional...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Understand direct and inverse variation.

You can pick up some valuable ratio pointers here. When you finish working your way through the three instructional pages, go on to the Activity for some practice, or take an online "Test Bite" and check your understanding.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] This lesson covers solving systems by multiplying both equations by a constant to eliminate a variable.
