Help learners understand the benefits of rearranging a formula. Scholars practice rearranging formulas for specific variables. They also analyze formulas to understand one variable's effect on the other. 

Number towers use addition or multiplication to ensure each level is equal. While this is common in factoring, it is often not used with algebraic equations. Solving these six questions relies on problem solving skills and being able to...

If you have two bags with an unknown number of tiles, represented by x, and you add three tiles to get seven total, you can set up a linear equation to represent the problem. Use this example and a few others to demonstrate how to solve...

Vary the exercises to keep learners engaged in division drills. Here they complete three different sections to solidify this skill in distinct contexts. First, scholars solve 16 horizontally aligned equations, most of which have...

In this patterns worksheet, students complete multiplication charts and division problems to solve pattern problems. Students complete 11 problems total.

Fifth graders practice solving problems.  In this fraction and decimal lesson, 5th graders recognize the relationship between fraction and decimals.  Students estimate problem results and write expressions to use for problem...

Learners identify and define the rules of properties of real numbers. They rewrite each of the problems listed using the commutative or associative properties. Pupils apply problem solving strategies to clarify situations in a table...

Time to study the most sensible function — rational functions! The seven-lesson unit develops the concept of a rational function through a connection to rational numbers and fractions. Scholars graph functions, solve equations, and...

The final lesson in a four-part unit on conflict resolution offers middle schoolers strategies for how to keep themselves in check when involved in conflicts. A role-play activity and a reflective journal stress the importance of...

They claim there are problems on the assessment. The presentation provides 13 questions that demonstrate the problem-solving claim for Smarter Balanced assessments. Teachers use the resource to provide examples of problem-solving...

A middle school test contains two 40-minute sections covering material through algebra. All questions involve applied problem solving or mathematical analysis.

In this multiplication and division worksheet, students answer multiplication and division problems where they use charts and solve word problems. Students complete 10 problems total.

In this division facts practice worksheet, students sharpen their math skills as they solve 30 problems that require them to divide 2-digit numbers by 1-digit numbers.

Lengthen learners' long division skills with this single-page handout. They must use problem solving skills to find the quotient when a four-digit number is divided by one digit. This is a nice assignment for early in the process of...

In this online math activity, students solve equations which have the variable on both sides. This excellent resource allows the students to check their answers, and to get "hints" should they run into difficulties. A terrific teaching...

Need more detail in showing your class how to solve two-step equations and proportions? This lesson plan outlines the steps young mathematicians need to solve simple equations and check their results. 

It's not a short cut, just good old fashion number sense, but kids will love it. This presentation does a wonderful job describing the divisibility rules by showing how each one works, reviewing the rules as a collective and providing an...

If you have some 9-10 year olds who are ready for some 5th year math, then check out this UK math unit. There are 172 slides that cover all of the basic multiplication tables, relate those to division, fractions, sequencing, and an...

Just when a young mathematician starts to feel comfortable turning word problems into linear equations, shake things up and throw inequalities in the mix. This excellent, instructive presentation takes the steps for solving an...

In this equations and formulas learning exercise, 9th graders solve and complete 10 different problems. First, they solve for each stated variable using the properties of equality to isolate the specified variable on one side of the...

There is nothing wrong with good old-fashioned practice. Middle schoolers simplify rational expressions using the operations of multiplication or division. The worksheet included 24 problems and an example to help learners along. 

Plug in this presentation for a quick start to your day. The class reviews the 6 times tables how they relate to division and then work through patterns to build logical reasoning and sequencing skills. A wonderful warm up or problem...

Students complete 45 multiple choice math word problems. In this math word problems lesson plan, students solve word problems on time, graphing, all four operations, money, and more.

These multiplication and division sentences are missing numbers, and it's not the typical product and quotient mystery here. Scholars solve these problems by filling in dividends and factors, as well. There are five equations and...
