We Do Math

This is a 2-Day Lesson. This would take place towards the end of a unit involving the Pythagorean Theorem. Day 1: Arrange students in groups (8 groups, about 3 students per group). There are 8 challenging problems that all involve the Pythagorean Theorem, as well as other previous knowledge. Give the students 1 class period to work with their groups on all 8 problems. Alert the students early on that each group will present one problem on the board tomorrow. (Group #1 will present problem 1, Gro

This is a 4 page worksheet. On each page, the same problem is solved by using the Graphing, Substitution, and Elimination Methods. Work is shown, because whoever solved the problems only performed 1 out of the 3 methods correctly on each page. ============================================== Students must answer the following questions on each page: Which method resulting in the correct solution? a) Graphing b) Substitution c) Elimination Which method resulted in an incorrect solution? a) Graphin

This can be used as a review for any high school math class past Algebra 1. A good thing to do on the first week of school, or on a random day when you need a random math activity.

This quiz covers the topics of solving systems of equations by the graphing method and substitution method. Students will be required to: - identify when systems have one solution, no solution, and infinitely many solutions - solve an equation for y - solve systems by graphing - solve systems by substitution The quiz has 2 pages. An answer key is included. Page 1- Students match the system to its graph.- students may choose to isolate y in order to match- Students identify whether each system h

This problem can be used if you're looking for a really challenging problem. I don't like just handing out bonus points, so this is a problem I made up - if students get this correct, they definitely put in a lot of thought and work, and they deserve some bonus points. Students should already have a knowledge of solving equations with square roots, the Pythagorean Theorem, and how to find the area of circles, triangles, rectangles, and trapezoids. (I used 3.14 for pi in the answer key).
