Do your pupils truly understand inverse operations, or is their understanding a little backward? Scholars learn the meaning of an equation in the second lesson of a four-part Algebra series. A series of activities begins with an...

Math really is just one big puzzle waiting to be solved. Show learners that math can be intriguing and provide them with visually engaging problems and puzzles. The focus is on solving simple equations and looking at expressions. 

Solving a murder is like isolating a variable. Using a video on a murder mystery, the narrator introduces the idea of solving a literal equation for one variable. After solving several equations, the class comes up with a set of...

Fifth graders explore equations. In this solving equations lesson, 5th graders examine visual examples of writing and solving equations. Students also practice solving problems that their instructors model.

What a great classroom resource! The intention of this lesson is to show that real-world math can and should be applied to the community in which your young scholars reside. The class relates properties of equations to solving for...

Create a similar blueprint. The differentiated lesson has pupils work in teams to create a brochure, scale model, or blueprint of a selected house with some minor changes. Once finished, team members present their final projects to the...

Students explore the concept of solving systems of equations. In this solving systems of equations lesson plan, students watch YouTube videos about how to solve systems by graphing and by elimination. Students use an interactive website...

Explore parametric equations in this lesson, and learn how to determine how much time it takes for an object to fall compared with an object being launched. high scoolers will use parametric equations to follow the path of objects in...

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...

Scholars first complete an individual assignment using a quadratic equation to model the movement of a bus around a corner. Learners then discuss their solutions with classmates and analyze the provided sample responses.

Do you need to graph lines to see the point? A thorough lesson plan provides comprehensive instruction focused on solving systems of equations by graphing. Resources include guided practice worksheet, skill practice worksheet,...

Here is a fun project. Sammy observes a chipmunk and a squirrel to see how many holes each needs in order to stash the same number of acorns.  Scholars could find the answer algebraically or create a table to analyze the...

Reach for the STARs! Using the resource, scholars review the STAR (Stop, Think, Act, Review) method and discuss how to use it to solve a math equation. Next, small groups collaborate to solve a common problem in the classroom using the...

Students participate in a lesson that covers the concepts of solving equations and inequalities. To master the concept they must demonstrate visually and verbally how both sides of an equation must be balanced. They construct a balanced...

Recycle, reuse, and rearrange! Young scholars learn to rearrange formulas to highlight a variable of interest. They then use their new formulas to make calculations.

Eighth graders solve multi-step equations, showing each step in their solution. This multi-step equations lesson includes sample problems to complete as a class, clear step by step instructions for the student and a linked comic strip...

Ninth graders solve multi-step equations.  For this Algebra I lesson, watch a video on solving equations with variables on both sides of the equal sign.  Students visit an Internet site to solve simple equations through the use...

Learners use the on-line affine recurrence plotter to graph equations. They work on-line to create graphs of trout in a trout pond and savings account balances when interest is compounded over time. Links to the four one-day lessons are...

Students use information they know to decorate a room at a reasonable cost by comparing the cost of companies for a decorating job. In this cost lesson plan, students take into consideration the area and perimeter of the room.

Students compose equations and inequalities whose solutions are the integers 1-31 and utilize them to number one month of a calendar. They take notes on two ways to work backwards from a solution: by using the number and by setting x...

Students engage in a lesson that focuses on the concept of linear equations. They practice solving problems with a variety of problems and graphing the solution set for each. Students write a summary paragraph about two methods of...
