How much time does it take to jump over three balloons? Pupils calculate the speed of tasks that require different motions. They determine motions for tasks such as walking, skipping, hopping, and jumping before creating a...

Engage young mathematicians in applying their knowledge of area and perimeter with a fun geometry activity. Through a series of problem solving exercises, children use their math knowledge to design different-sized garden...

Laughter may be the best medicine, but aspirin is also important. Young chemists analyze aspirin tablets using titration in this lab experiment. They then repeat the entire experiment using a different aspirin brand. 

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...

Bring your pupils in the loop with while loops. Scholars learn how to modify conditional statements to produce while loops in the 14th lesson of the series. They use flowcharts to understand loops and then program some examples of...

See calculus to the end. The eBook is the last of a three-volume series covering college-level calculus topics. Scholars begin with parametric equations and polar coordinates before moving to vectors, finally ending with multi-variable...

You will need a photovoltaic system and monitor at your school in order to obtain all of the data required to thoroughly implement this lesson. Your class monitors daily temperature and insolation amounts over a two week span of time....

Learners use, with increasing confidence, problem-solving approaches to investigate and explain mathematical content. They make and test conjectures. They use tables and graphs as tools to interpret expressions, equations, and inequalities.

In this algebra expressions instructional activity, students solve 10 various problems that include solving algebraic expressions. First, they substitute each given expression into the appropriate place and then solve the equation. In...

In this Algebra I/Geometry/Algebra II worksheet, students simplify radicals that do not have a variable in the radicand.  The one page worksheet contains a combination of nine multiple choice and free response questions. ...

In this equations worksheet, students explore mathematical expressions.  They solve algebraic equations with one variable and identify the domain and range.  This five-page worksheet contains detailed notes, examples, and 4...

In this algebraic worksheet, 6th graders focus on expressions with two variables.  Students complete 5 problems using decimals and the workspace given to demonstrate how each problem is solved.

Order of operations is foundational for the future study of algebra. With ample time for instruction and independent practice these activities will help your class improve their understanding of this important concept. Includes the...

Hopefully nothing gets lost in translation. Pupils translate between verbal phrases and algebraic expressions. They then use candy to determine what values to substitute into the expressions.

It is important for the algebra learner to understand the use of parentheses. Mathematicians of all levels can make errors with nested parentheses. This will give them some practice. It makes for a good class starter or quick assessment.

Mathematics is all about patterns. Young mathematicians analyze geometric patterns to write algebraic expressions. They use the expressions to predict future stages of the patterns.

Ask your algebra learners to write an equation that has unit constraints. This commentary talks about the constraints, but does not show them in the equation. It is important that your mathematicians understand that the units apply to...

In this algebra worksheet, students evaluate 9 exponential terms. They use order of operations to solve 18 rational number problems. Students use substitution to evaluate 4 problems involving variables.

Knowing how to scale a recipe is an important skill. Young mathematicians determine the amount of ingredients they need to make a certain number of truffles when given a recipe. They determine a relationship between ingredients given a...

Practice using linear models to answer a question of interest. The 12th installment of a 16-part module combines many of the skills from previous lessons. It has scholars draw scatter plots and trend lines, develop linear models, and...

Expand and contract algebra. Using a video from a larger review series, pupils refresh their skills to factor algebraic expressions. They also use the distributive property to expand expressions on the learning exercise. Problems range...

Buying a new sofa? Learn how to use the Pythagorean Theorem, as well as algebra and graphing techniques, to determine whether the sofa will fit around a corner (which I'm sure you'll agree is a very important consideration!).
