Mathematics
Exponent Rules and Scientific Notation Workshop
Students apply exponent rules, convert between standard and scientific notation, multiply in scientific notation and solve a travel-time problem.
THE LESSON LIBRARY
A good plan.
A better starting point.
Find a lesson that fits your subject, your students, and the time you have.
Mathematics
Exponent Rules: Simplify, Match, and Fix the Mistakes
Students simplify expressions with the product, quotient, power, zero and negative exponent rules, match rules to examples, and fix common errors.
Mathematics
Exponential Growth, Decay and Logarithms: Lab Data Case Study
Students use a bacteria-growth case study, a half-life problem and compound interest to practice exponential functions, then connect exponents and logarithms.
Mathematics
Expressions and One-Step Equations: Words to Symbols
Students match word phrases to algebraic expressions, evaluate an expression, and solve one-step equations from word problems.
Mathematics
Factoring Basics: GCF, Trinomials, and Zero Products
Students factor out the GCF, factor simple trinomials and differences of squares, solve quadratics with the zero-product rule, and find factoring errors.
Mathematics
Factoring Trinomials: Factor, Expand and Catch the Error
Students factor eight quadratic expressions, check by expanding, and find the mistakes in three sample factorizations.
Mathematics
Finding Slope from Two Points
Students calculate slope from pairs of points, interpret positive, negative, zero and undefined slopes, complete a table, and find a mistake in sample work.
Mathematics
Function Notation: What Does f(x) Mean?
Students evaluate functions written in f(x) notation, complete a function table, solve for an input, judge true/false statements, and apply a taxi-fare function.
Mathematics
Integers on the Number Line: Temperatures, Depths and Balances
Students order integers, find absolute value, and add and subtract integers in temperature, depth and money situations.
Mathematics
Is It Proportional? Tables, Constants and Rates
Students test tables for a constant ratio, find the constant of proportionality, write y = kx and solve rate word problems.
Mathematics
Limits on Paper: Tables, Patterns, Algebra
Students estimate limits from tables of values, compare left and right limits, and find limits by substitution and factoring.
Mathematics
Literal Equations: Solving Formulas for Any Variable
Students rearrange familiar formulas to isolate a chosen variable, apply them to real numbers, and match formulas to their rearranged forms.
