Equation Math-O: Students will review different types of equations by playing Math-O.; Format: lesson plan (grade 7 Mathematics); By Tracy Howell.

Graphing Inequalities: This is an activity I use when I need to get my students into groups of two and review inequalties and perpendicular slopes.; Format: lesson plan (grade 7–12 Mathematics); By Shirlyn Sullins.

Interior designers: Working with area: In this lesson for grade seven, students will act as interior designers, and will measure the walls of the classroom to determine the area of each wall.; Format: (grade 7 Mathematics); By Peggy Dickey and Barbara Turner.

Linear equations: In this lesson for grade seven, students calculate monthly bills for cell phone plans using linear equations.; Format: (grade 7 Mathematics); By Peggy Dickey and Barbara Turner.

Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally: Students will learn and practice the correct order of operations. The lesson will begin with a motivational group-art activity. Students will then take notes and do a "pass the paper" activity for practice. This will be followed by students creating their own problems.; Format: lesson plan (grade 6–8 Mathematics); By Shirley Powell.

Savor the Rainbow: Use skittles to help the students practice the concepts of sorting data, recording data, writing the data collected in fraction form (part/whole), changing the fractions into decimals and percents, and taking the data collected and making a spreadsheet, bar graph, and circle graph of the data.; Format: lesson plan (grade 7 Mathematics); By Beverly Revis.

Spreadsheet formulas: This lesson will provide practice using formulas, print options, functions, and adjusting column widths.; Format: lesson plan (grade 6–8 Computer Technology Skills and Mathematics); By DPI Integration Strategies.

What's My Rule? Simple Linear Functions: Students investigate simple linear functions by trying to guess a function rule from inputs and outputs. They then write the function rule in algebraic form. This lesson uses a resource of Shodor Education Foundation, Inc. Permission has been granted for the use of the materials as part of the workshop "Interactivate Your Bored Math Students."; Format: lesson plan (grade 7 Mathematics); By Bev Koester.

Algebra in balance: In this lesson, one of a multi-part unit from Illuminations, students use an interactive pan balance tool to explore algebraic expressions. They determine if algebraic expressions are equal and balance pans to solve a system of equations.

Bagel algebra: In this Illuminations lesson, a real life example taken from a bagel shop is used to get students to think about solving a problem symbolically. (Learn more); Format: lesson plan (grade 6–8 Mathematics); Provider: National Council of Teachers of Mathematics

Barbie bungee: In this Illuminations lesson, students model a bungee jump using a Barbie doll and rubber bands. The distance to which the doll will fall is directly proportional to the number of rubber bands, so this context is used to examine linear functions.

Beyond handshakes: In this lesson, one of a multi-part unit from Illuminations, students explore triangular numbers. This exploration enhances students' ability to generalize a pattern with variables. (Learn more); Format: lesson plan (grade 6–8 Mathematics); Provider: National Council of Teachers of Mathematics

Burning questions: In this lesson, one of a multi-part unit from Illuminations, students use information from a quiz, along with what they learned in the previous four lessons, to write a summary and finalize a property sketch demonstrating their understanding of wildfires.

Constant dimensions: In this Illuminations lesson, students measure the length and width of a rectangle using both standard and non-standard units of measure. In addition to providing measurement practice, this lesson allows students to discover that the ratio of length to width of a rectangle is constant.

Everything balances out in the end: In this unit of three lessons, from Illuminations, students use a pan balance to study equality, order of operations, numerical and variable expressions and other key algebraic concepts. (Learn more); Format: lesson plan (grade 6–7 Mathematics); Provider: National Council of Teachers of Mathematics

Golden ratio: In this Illuminations lesson, students explore the Fibonacci sequence. They examine how the ratio of two consecutive Fibonacci numbers creates the Golden Ratio and identify real-life examples of the Golden Ratio.
