Lesson Plans and Worksheets
Lesson Planet has been one of the primary ingredients for the mortar I need in order to successfully provide a positive learning environment for my students. It saves me the effort of weeding through the abyss of internet resources available and provides quality resources from qualified and experienced teachers. Thank You!!!

Arithmetic Lesson Plans
Find teacher approved Arithmetic lesson plan ideas and activities
Students explore the concept of arithmetic series and sequences. In this arithmetic series and sequence lesson, students compare arithmetic sequences and series. Students solve arithmetic series and sequence word problems.
Students investigate modular arithmetic and how to use it to solve real world problems. In this modular arithmetic lesson, students use computers to work on modular arithmetic after a teacher guided lesson. They complete guided practice and independent practice by completing the associated worksheets.
Students explore the concept of modular arithmetic and cryptography. In this modular arithmetic and cryptography lesson, students use applets to explore modular arithmetic using a clock and Caesar Ciphers. Students exchange their ciphers with another student. Students solve their partner's message.
Students explore the concept of sequences. In this sequences lesson, students create arithmetic and geometric sequences using an applet. Students pick the initial value, multiplier, and the add-on. Students discuss the differences and similarities between arithmetic and geometric sequences.
Students find the sequence of an equation. In this algebra lesson, students differentiate between arithmetic and geometric sequences. They calculate the sum of finite and infinite sequences.
Students perform basic operations in modular (clock) arithmetic. Students encode and decode messages using shift and affine ciphers. Students apply their multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction skills.
Eighth graders explore sequences. They discuss the difference between an arithmetic sequence and a geometric pattern. Students participate in workstation activities where they determine arithmetic or geometric patterns and predict the sequence.
Young scholars investigate a sequence of numbers and a series using mathematical operations. They practice solving problems that have arithmetic sequences and patterns which are identified.
Students model formulas for rectangles and squares. In this area, arithmetic and algebra lesson, students explore the formula for the area of squares and rectangles. They use squares to model the formula for the area and identify binomials.
Students explore number patterns. In this algebra/geometry patterns lesson, students continue a given number pattern, and state a rule to explain their answer. Students practice arithmetic sequences and complete related worksheets to reinforce the use of number patterns.
