Patterns in polygons lead to patterns in polynomials. Presented with a series of polygons, individuals create polynomial expressions to represent their patterns. The algebra project consists of nine problems that incorporate polynomial...

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...

It's all about lines when going around. Pupils graph the relationship between the length of a side of a square and its perimeter. Class members explain the origin in context of the side length and perimeter. They compare the graph to the...

In critiquing someone else's theory, learners share insight into their own understanding of mathematical concepts. Fifth graders will explore the notion that products are always larger than their factors. While this statement is...

Amaze your classes with the ability to find side lengths of triangles immediately — they'll all want to know your trick! Learners use the Pythagorean Theorem and special right triangle relationships to find missing side lengths.

In this algebra activity, 10th graders rewrite algebraic expression using algebra. They follow specific steps to solve this word problem. There is an answer key.

Pupils collect and analyze data. In this statistics lesson, learners create a scatter plot from their collected data. They use, tables and graphs to analyze the data and mae decisions.

Third graders investigate numerical and geometric patterns and express them in words or numbers.  In this algebraic reasoning lesson, 3rd graders analyze the structure of the pattern and how it changes or grows, organize information...

Students identify the different systems of equations. In this algebra instructional activity, students solve systems of equations using graphing, elimination and substitution. They use the Ti to graph their systems.

Sixth graders investigate the concepts of a variable, constant, expressions, and equations. They solve problems which require the interpretation of expressions in and out of equations looking for solutions. Students also use a balance...

In this language arts worksheet, students study 10 words in a word bank, then locate them in a word search puzzle. The words appear to be related to algebra; the meaning of the title is not known. There is one misspelled word in the word...

Students explore the concept of 2-variable equations and expressions. In this 2-variable equation and expression lesson plan, students translate 2-variable word problems into 2-variable equations and expressions.

Seventh graders explore the concept of the slope of a line. They see how to determine the direction of the line. Also students are introduced to the slope intercept algebraic expression in conjunction with the rise/run.

Students collect and analyze data with a graph. In this statistics lesson, students use central tendencies to find the meaning of their data. They display the data on a Ti calculator.

Students create graphs using collected data. In this algebra lesson, students use spreadsheet in Excel to create graphs to interpret their data and make predictions. They rewrite word problems using algebraic expressions.

Fourth graders investigate the terms "factor" and "product." For this mathematics lesson, 4th graders practice solving problems to find the products and factors present in different algebraic expressions.

Young scholars calculate the distance they will travel. In this geometry lesson, students use the TI and CBL system to make calculation of a certain path. They explore geography by calculating distances between different areas as it...

In this math skills worksheet, students solve 10 multiple choice math problems that require them to use the order of operations. Students may view the correct answers.

Provide students with the skill for how to examine algebraic and graphical approaches to solving radical equations. Learners solve various radical equations involving square root and cube root expressions. They first solve...

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...

Introducing inverse functions! The 20th installment of a 35-part lesson encourages scholars to learn the definition of inverse functions and how to find them. The lesson considers all types of functions, not just exponential and...

Use this activity on cross-sections of three-dimensional shapes in your math class to work on algebra or geometry Common Core standards. The lesson includes a list of relevent terminology, and a step-by-step process to illustrate the...

Functions require an input in order to get an output, which explains why the answer always has at least two parts. After only three multi-part questions, the teacher can analyze pupils' strengths and weaknesses when it comes to...

Working independently or in teams, your class practices connecting graphs, formulas and words. This lesson includes a guided discussion about distance vs. time graphs and looking at how velocity changes over time.
