Scholars learn about a series of three challenges when they design a bus system for a small town. They determine the bus routes and then figure out the best type of fuel to use before considering the cost of going electric. Learners...

Help your sixth graders reach their Common Core math standards by providing them with a checklist of "I can" statements for each standard. As each concept is covered, kids can check it off, as long as they can do what it states. 

A comprehensive lesson on acceleration awaits your physicists and engineers! Two YouTube videos pique their interest, then sample F=ma problems are worked and graphed. The highlight of the lesson is the building of a Lou-Vee air car!...

Scaling is a practical skill as well as a topic to be addressed throughout the Common Core math standards. You are given three different presentations and a detailed teacher's guide to use while teaching proportion, as well as practice...

There is no better way to present a math problem than within the context of a story. Sal explains how he divides a fraction to solve a word problem where he must determine how many shirts can be made with 48 yards of fabric. Problems...

Here is an example problem that requires Sal to divide by the reciprocal. He demonstrates the process of dividing the fraction and rewriting it as a mixed number. Sal nicely explains why multiplying a fraction is the same as dividing it...

Divide and conquer any fears about fractions. Viewers of a short educational video learn how to divide fractions. The method shown is to take the reciprocal of the second fraction and then multiply. Division with mixed numbers is also...

Reciprocals is more than just flipping a fraction. Pupils watch a video to see how to find the reciprocal of any number. Individuals practice finding reciprocals of numbers including whole numbers and decimals.

Twelve chapters cover a multitude of math concepts found in the Common Core standards for sixth grade. Each title provides a brief explanation of what you will find inside the chapter—concepts from which you can click on and learn more...

Five questions make up an interactive designed to promote math skills involving the division of fractions. To assist in the process, a tool with moveable parts showcases how fractions are flipped. Question types include multiple-choice,...

Pre-algebra—all wrapped up in one place. The eBook contains everything needed to teach a typical Pre-Algebra course. Concepts in the course build upon previously learned concepts, allowing mathematicians to see the connections between...

Use reciprocals for the purpose of division. The video shows how to use reciprocals to rewrite division problems. Pupils see that the definition of division as the multiplication by the reciprocal works for all types of numbers. 

If there is something in addition to get to the identity, does the same exist for multiplication? Using negative numbers to talk about the identity of addition, the video asks the question whether something similar exists for...

Division of fractions is more than keep, change, flip. A video explains the reason to use the reciprocal when dividing fractions. Using the interpretation of fractions as division problems, the video explains the relationship of dividing...

Are you tired of hearing "When am I ever going to need to use this in real life?" Cooking word problems, in addition to other math work, answer the question easily. Grade 6 Claim 1 Item Slide Shows offers eight problems reinforcing...

Develop a model for prep. The resource provides examples of how items reflect modeling and data analysis for Smarter Balanced assessments. Items use on-grade or below-grade content to focus on the modeling aspect. The questions revolve...

They claim there are problems on the assessment. The presentation provides 13 questions that demonstrate the problem-solving claim for Smarter Balanced assessments. Teachers use the resource to provide examples of problem-solving...

Scale the challenge of learning about ratios and scales. Young mathematicians learn to incorporate fractional measurements when considering scales and scale factors. They use an interactive to investigate the concept and critically...

Consistency is the key. One lemon wedge per glass of water makes a nice glass of lemonade. Young scholars must identify the number of lemon wedges they need to make the same lemonade in a big gulp cup. They develop their own solution...

Sharing is caring—especially with brownies! Young mathematicians use an interactive to split a batch of brownies between several friends given constraints. They answer some challenge questions to check that each friend has the correct...
