This lesson asks students to apply their previous knowledge of solving systems of equations to real-life contexts, including basketball games. Read more »
Systems of Equations
This lesson introduces students to properties of real numbers, equality, and inverse operations for solving linear equations. The objective is for students to understand how to isolate a variable in two-step equations by applying properties of rational numbers. In the next lesson, students will advance... Read more »
Solving Two-Step Equations
This lesson focuses on the properties of real numbers, properties of equality, and inverse operations to help students deepen their understanding of solving linear equations. Students will learn to isolate variables and apply this knowledge to more complex problems. By the end of the lesson, students... Read more »
Solving Multi-Step Equations
This lesson is Part 3 of "Journey of the Isolated Variable," a four-part lesson series on solving different types of equations. In this lesson, students will build on the equation-solving knowledge they gained in Parts 1 and 2 in order to solve literal equations. Read more »
Literal Equations
In this lesson, students build on prior knowledge of solving equations to learn how to solve absolute value equations. Students then compare and contrast four types of equations including two-step, multi-step, literal, and absolute value equations. This is the fourth lesson in the four-part "Journey... Read more »
Absolute Value Equations
This lesson breaks down the components of a function through the metaphor of a function "machine." Students will design their own function vending machines, identify the products they will sell and the prices of those products, and evaluate each others' machines to build a function from the information...

Functions (Domain and Range)
This lesson is intended to introduce and reinforce how proportional relationships are displayed in graphs and tables. Students will need a basic understanding of graphing and will apply that knowledge to calculating rates based on scenarios. Read more »
Linear Proportionality and Representations
This is a lesson for Law of Cosines, which also connects Law of Sines and Law of Cosines to map triangulation. Students will receive a brief introduction to Trig Pillars: a tool used in the United Kingdom in the mid-20th century to help with mapmaking. Then, they will go through an informal proof of...

Triangulation and Mapping
In this lesson, students will discover how a given side, side, and angle could result in 0, 1, or 2 triangles. They will then learn the Law of Sines and use it to find missing side lengths and angle measures. This lesson is intended to be taught before the Law of Cosines lesson and after students learn...

AAS, ASA, SSA
In this lesson, students will explore the concepts of sampling distributions and the central limit theorem through hands-on activities and practical application in the Deadly Distribution digital game-based learning (DGBL) module. Read more »
Sampling Distribution and the Central Limit Theorem
In this lesson, students will build on their knowledge of parallel lines by incorporating perpendicular, vertical, and horizontal lines. The goal is for students to understand the characteristics of different types of lines and then apply their knowledge to design a structure as an architect might.... Read more »
Parallel, Perpendicular, Vertical, and Horizontal Lines
This lesson focuses on an extension of parallel lines by exploring what happens when a transversal line passes through them. The goal is for students to understand the different angles that form due to the intersection and to apply that knowledge to real-world situations. Students will be able to identify... Read more »
