Show the class how to find the factors of numbers. They use a variety of strategies, including unifix cubes, to find the factors of a whole number. This resource includes clear procedure to follow. Included are an anticipatory set, materials list, and a link to a printable homework page.
The teacher explains the many steps in simplifying a rational expression using opposite binomial factors. At first it seems complicated but if you follow along and watch out for your negative numbers you can learn how to simplify this polynomial divided by a polynomial.
A teacher guided lesson on perfect squares and factoring. They discuss perfect squares, observe the expansion steps for finding the product, and practice solving problems. They complete a worksheet on perfect squares and factoring.
In this division worksheet, students solve 24 problems in which two digit numbers are divided by single digit divisors with remainders. There is an additional four digit money division worksheet available here.
Solving factor trees is a helpful way to introduce prime numbers. Your math class practices using this method along with two-column tables to find if a number is prime or not. They also learn other vocabulary, such as composite numbers, that help them understand the concept of prime numbers.
Seventh graders explore the concept of divisibility. In this divisibility lesson, 7th graders use divisibility rules to find factors of numbers. Students create foldables to illustrate divisibility rules.
A great resource for any math teacher covering multiples, factors or square roots; this learning exercise walks young mathematicians through the logic behind factoring and square roots with a systematic set of problems which gradually increase in their level of difficulty and abstraction. Problem solving. multiple choice and word problems are intermixed with mathematical rules, definitions and fun facts to create a thorough and engaging activity. This learning exercise also includes a brief extension section
Fifth graders practice a wide range of strategies for solving multiplication and division problems with whole numbers and decimal fractions. They interact with operations on decimals, relevant size and place value of decimals to three places and properties of operations with fractional numbers and integers.
Scholars examine the processes of multiplication and division. They identify what questions division can answer, complete division sentences, and discuss division properties with direct teacher instruction. They also complete a worksheet that involves finding the quotient using a multiplication table.
