What does translating points on a number line have to do with solving inequalities? Young mathematicians first learn about translations of points on a number line, and then use this information to solve linear inequalities in one variable.

A new, improved version of the game Battleship? Learners graph linear inequalities on the coordinate plane, then participate in a game where they have to guess coordinate points based on the solution to a system of linear...

As a continuation of a previous lesson, this activity builds on the concept of calculating the terms of a sequence. Pupils are challenged to determine the smallest starting term to reach a set number by a set number of rounds. Notation...

Your young graphers will collaboratively play their way to a better understanding of the solution set produced by the combining of inequalities. Cooperation and communication are emphasized by the teacher asking questions to guide the...

Create an understanding of solving problems that require more than one equation. The lesson introduces the concept of systems of linear equations by using a familiar situation of constant rate problems. Pupils compare the graphs of...

Students solve linear inequalities. In this algebra lesson, students rewrite inequalities using one and two step equations. They graph their findings and identify the slope and solution of the line.

Wow! Put on that thinking cap and solve multi-step equations. To solve equations, learners review the use of the distributive property and combining like terms. This three-day instructional activity comes with about 20 pages of...

Use the 20 Questions game to practice math vocabulary and number properties! Project a hundreds chart and hand one out to learners. Ideally, give them counters (beans would work well) to mark off the chart so you can play multiple times....

Help your learners understand how to divide fractions with this visual activity. They first answer a simple inequality before dividing the fractions. Two solution choices are given to help your mathematicians understand how to solve "how...

Students advocate for clean water.  In this water pollution lesson, students play the Peace Corps Challenge Game, discuss the effects of polluted water and write a letter to the mayor of Wanzuzu highlighting the situation of the...

Students investigate linear inequalities and the associated symbols. After a teacher demonstration, they translate given phrases into symbols. Students solve and graph solutions to linear inequalities. Using newspapers, they locate...

Ninth graders graph linear inequalities.  In this Algebra I lesson, 9th graders examine the graph of a linear inequality and in a game format, test coordinates to determine the region of the graph that satisfies the inequality. 

What is that fraction doing as an exponent? Fun math games prompt learners to practice evaluating radical expressions and expressions containing rational exponents, both in groups and individually.

Fifth graders use a software program to practice their problem solving skills. As a class, they identify patterns in their days at school and review problem solving patterns in math. They solve different problems and discover that the...

A great hands-on activity involving adding and subtracting, beginner mathematicians determine how many games can be played with 20 tickets. Instead of tickets, youngsters use 20 counters or linking cubes to represent the amount of...

Explore linear programming on a website game. Partners solve a real-world problem by setting up an objective function and a linear inequality. They graph their results on chart paper and also using a calculator before presenting their...

Students explore the Carbon Mitigation Initiative by playing the Wedge Game. In this environmental science lesson, students discuss different strategies to reduce carbon emissions. They evaluate their strategies and rate sustainability.

Warm-up pupils' fraction muscles with a four-question quiz, then delve into a learning game designed to reinforce the concept of simplifying fractions. Based on the "I do, We do, You do" method of teaching, the lesson directly...

Class members discover how to extend division to fractions to mixed numbers. Individuals first review how to convert mixed numbers to improper fractions and then apply division strategies learned in previous lessons. A memory game...

Fifth graders order decimals from least to greatest and greatest to least. In this decimal order instructional activity, 5th graders complete an online review of comparing 2 digit numbers. Students then complete a decimal order card game...

Sixth graders express numbers as percents greater than 100 and less than one. In this lesson on percents, 6th graders work in groups with real life scenarios to develop an understanding on percentages greater than 100 and less than one....

Students play pop-a-top math game to practice solving addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division problems.

Learners compete in playground games in order to review velocity and wave behavior in real life situations. They demonstrate understanding by calculating velocity in their "Playground Games" packet.

Learners explore numbers 1-100.  In this cross curriculum literacy and numeration lesson, students listen to the book More or Less by Stuart J. Murphy. Learners play a game with a partner in which they guess the "mystery number"...
