Here is a (great) lesson on using parentheses! The task requires the expression of ages using algebraic expressions, including the distributive property. Pupils use their expressions to determine the individual ages.

Use everything you know about quadratic equations to solve polynomial equations! Learners apply the Zero Product Property to factor and solve polynomial equations. They make a direct connection to methods they have used with quadratic...

Young mathematicians first graph a series of quadratic equations, and then investigate how various parts of the equation change the graph of the function in a predictable way.

Looking at London's population from 1801–1961 in 20 year increments, high school mathematicians determine if the data can be modeled by a given logistic growth equation. They explain their thinking and determine the values of each...

Students identify the slope of an equation using various methods. In this algebra lesson, students graph linear equations and calculate the slopes using the x and y intercept to solve the equations and graph the lines. They use the slope...

Students solve systems of equations. In this algebra instructional activity, students identify the domain and range of each function. They use the slope and y-intercept to graph each line.

Young scholars factor and solve systems of equation. In this algebra lesson, students identify the point of intersection using substitution, elimination and graphing. They write an equation given a system and a graph.

Young scholars explore inequalities. In this Algebra I lesson, students solve and graph linear inequalities involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division.  Young scholars use inequalities to solve and graph real-world...

Pupils analyze a pattern of conference tables to determine the number of tables needed and the number of people that can be seated for a given size. Individuals develop general formulas for the two growing number patterns and...

Take a step beyond Algebra 2. Learners use the eBook to learn concepts from the typical Precalculus course. Content starts off with a short review of functions in general and moves on to the basic functions, finishing up with more...

The bounce of a golf ball changes the result in golf, mini golf—and a great math activity. Scholars graph the height of golf ball bounces before finding a line of best fit. They analyze their own data and the results of others to better...

The plot thickens to get a functional understanding. After a short review of plotting points on the coordinate plane, class members learn the difference between functions and relations in the second lesson in a series of nine. They...

Students discover the linear relationship between degrees Farenheit and degrees Celsius. They manually compute the slope and y-intercept of the line passing through points. They convert Celsius to Fahrenheit degrees.

In this matrix worksheet, learners explore and solve problems with matrices by addition, subtraction, multiplication and using linear equations. There are 28 problems with some answers.

High schoolers solve systems of inequalities. In this lesson, they identify the solution of the two lines and shade the solution. They identify the boundary line and the region representing the solution.

Students identify the slope of linear functions. In this slope lesson, students collect data and graph it. They write equations with no more than two variables and use technology to explain their data.

Students use the order of operation to solve problems. In this algebra lesson, students solve linear equations in standard form. They use GERMDAS to solve the problems following the specific steps. They graph their solutions and analyze...

Students investigate different online tutorials as they study graphing. In this graphing lesson plan, students apply the concept of graphs cross curricular and use it to make predictions. They define the purpose and theories behind graphs.

This study guide is a great resource to help you present the steps to graphing linear inequalities. Show your class two different ways to graph an inequality and work on a real-world example together. The document could also be easily...

Population density, it is not all that it is plotted to be. Pupils analyze a scatter plot of population versus area for some of the states in the US. The class members respond to eight questions about the graph, specific points and...

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...

Investigate the order of operations! Learners participate in interactive multi-media activities to examine and solve multi-step equations, inequalities. They evaluate formulas and simplify monomials and polynomials.

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...
