Here's a ready to go lesson to target 6th grade math expressions and equations standards 6EE.A.3 and 6EE.A.4 1) First there is a simple and clear handout that explains to students what equivalent expressions are. There are sample equivalent expressions included and explanations of how to make them using different math techniques…
A lesson/worksheet set teaching students to distinguish discrete versus continuous linear relationships, identify independent and dependent variables, and model real-world scenarios with tables, equations, and graphs.
A five-day, no-prep back-to-school packet for 11th grade that blends Algebra 2 review with literacy, writing, collaboration, and community-building activities
Use one scripted lesson per day to revisit Grade 6 mathematics through practice, a class-picnic story, and reflection. Ratio and integer work sit alongside equations, statistics, and area. Support prompts and challenge extensions let you adjust the tasks while keeping the shared lesson structure.
A math mini-unit of guided notes, extra practice, homework and quizzes for teaching how to graph rational functions and identify key features (intercepts, holes, vertical/horizontal asymptotes).
In this Intro to Logarithms Activity, high school students will begin think about the topic of logarithms in a simple way. Logarithms are so different than what students are used to, it can be a challenge to teach.
A no-prep, 5-day Grade 7 end-of-school-year math packet (teacher guide, student worksheets, and answer key as separate files) combining math skill review with reflective/celebratory last-week-of-school activities.
A hands-on cooperative-partner Algebra activity introducing systems of equations, using a physical chip-dropping simulation (two cups) to build understanding of tables, graphs, and equations, and what it means for a system to have a solution.
Five-day math lesson-plan sequence teaching linear functions through the real-world context of minimum wage and living expenses, using sheltered-language strategies to support ELL and native English-speaking students.
A comprehensive guided-notes-and-practice packet teaching slope-intercept form: identifying slope and y-intercept, writing equations from graphs, tables, two coordinates and word problems, graphing from equations, and interpreting/comparing slope and y-intercept, ending in a multiple-choice test, aligned to CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.8.F.A.2 and…
Teach students to multiply two binomials using a visual area model that builds up to the FOIL mnemonic.
Teach and practice describing qualitative relationships between two variables from a graph (increasing/decreasing/constant, matching real-world scenarios to graph shapes), aligned to CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.8.F.B.5.
