What does English have to do with math? Teach your class the "grammar" of a number sentence. Sentences with correct grammar can be false! Understanding of a number sentence leads to a comparison with equations.

How many ways can you represent solutions to an equation? Guide your class through the process of solving equations and representing solutions. Solutions are described in words, as a solution set, and graphed on a number line....

Guide your class through the intricacies of solving compound inequalities with a resource that compares solutions of an equation, less than inequality, and greater than inequality. Once pupils understand the differences, the...

Be ready mathematicians of every level. This lesson leads to the discovery of the zero product property and provides challenges for early finishers along the way. At conclusion, pupils understand the process of using the zero product...

It takes a lot of planning to achieve a random result! Learners compare results of random assignment, and conclude that random assignment allows results to be attributed to chance. They also realize the set of random means...

What are the chances? Teach your classes to answer this question using mathematics. The first part of a three-day lesson on determining significance differences in experimental data prompts learners to analyze the data by...

Help your classes find the significance in this lesson! Learners analyze the probability of Diff values. They then determine if the difference is significant based on their probability of occurrence. 

Challenge your classes to complete an experiment from beginning to end. Learners make their own hypotheses, collect and analyze their own data, and make their own conclusions. They are on their way to becoming statisticians! 

Communicating results is just as important as getting results! Learners create a poster to highlight their findings in the experiment conducted in the previous lesson in a 30-part series. The resource provides specific criteria and...

They say you can interpret statistics to say what you want them to. Teach your classes to recognize valid experimental results! Pupils analyze experiments and identify flaws in design or statistics. 

Groups sort through NASA data provided in a graphic to create a graph using uniform units and intervals. Individuals then make connections to the increasing, decreasing, and constant intervals of the graph and relate these...

Does a linear or exponential model fit the data better? Guide your class through an exploration to answer this question. Pupils create an exponential and linear model for a data set and draw conclusions, based on predictions and the...

Do properties of equations hold true for inequalities? Teach solving inequalities through the theme of properties. Your class discovers that the multiplication property of equality doesn't hold true for inequalities when multiplying by a...

A bouncing ball serves as more than entertainment when learning to apply quadratic functions to real-world events. This is the second of a two-part lesson, which can also be accessed from the website. The instructions say to measure the...

Pupils analyze group data to identify significant differences. They use simulation to create their own random assignment data for comparison. 

Here is a great set of eight scenarios that require the writing of a one-variable inequality and then solving to find the solution. This inequality word problem activity is then followed by the solutions to each of the eight problems.

In this like terms worksheet, students solve and complete 10 problems and charts that include grouping various types of like terms. They identify each of the terms given and then group each one into the proper category on the chart shown.

Students study linear equations. Using algebra tiles, they model solving two-step linear equations. They discuss inverse operations, demonstrate solutions and justify answers. Given worksheets, students solve real world problems.

Students examine the spread of a disease.  In this Algebra II/Biology lesson, students collect and analyze data as they simulate the spread of a virus.  Students brainstorm ways in which people can help to stop the outbreak of...

Ninth graders solve linear equations.  In this Algebra I lesson plan, 9th graders investigate the properties of equations (Reflexive, Symmetric, Transitive, Substitution, and Transformation Properties) and use these properties to...

In this Algebra II learning exercise, 11th graders solve literal equation for a specific variable.  The one page learning exercise contains instruction, worked examples, and nine practice problems.  Answers are not included. 

In this expressions and operations worksheet, students solve and complete 5 different problems that include reading and solving each individual question. First, they determine the value of each equation given the variables. Then,...

In this expressions and operations worksheet, 9th graders solve and complete 7 different problems that include variable expressions and applying the order of operations. First, they determine the value of expressions given the integers...

Finding patterns is an essential skill for mathematicians of all ages. Follow along with Zoe as she walks step-by-step through the process of identifying and completing number patterns. Work through the Try It! problems as a whole class...
