Sixth graders work through a two-step equation with their teacher. After reviewing one-step equations, they complete a worksheet using tiles and colored pencils to complete two-step equations. To end the lesson, they write out the step...

For this numeric and visual patterns worksheet, students continue the numeric and visual patterns given to them. Students are given 16 patterns.

In this math worksheet, students find the answers to the functions that includes integration and trigonometry. They use the examples for help with the special functions.

Sixth graders examine a blue print and discuss the reasoning behind using blue prints. In this proportionality lesson,  students collaborate with their teammates to create a scale drawing. Once that is complete, 6th graders write a...

An 80-page resource provides four lessons and all associated worksheets to teach middle schoolers about expressions and equations. The lessons are hands-on, using games, "integer chips," a balance and cubes, and cut and paste activities....

Are we there yet?  Young trip planners learn about their state and plan a trip. They will select sites to see in three cities in their state, and record associated costs in a spreadsheet. While this was originally designed as a...

Young mathematicians apply problem-solving skills to equations that have more than one variable. They will work through the process to problem solve and discover the solution.

Young scholars find zero pairs and add integers using zero pairs and a number line. They generalize rules for adding integers. Students complete a matching activity on the Internet that helps them practice adding integers.

Students examine two plants that make skateboards. They practice converting fractions to percents in real life applications.

Students write a paper about how their life would be different if fractions, decimals and percents did not exist. The teacher leads a discussion after the papers are written.

Students determine the most equitable way to share space and cost between three schools for a fictional science fair. Given a diagram, a word problem, and a data set, students analyze and explain the best way for all schools to share...

Students collect data and make a frequency table, change ratios into percents, and analyze data to make predictions.

Students apply the substitution process to solve equations with more than one variable. They explore how to use the process and when it should be used.

Students discover how much a movie is worth. They use decimals and percentages greater than 100 to complete this activity.

Students relate fractions to decimals and find and compare equivalent fractions.

Assess student learning with this quiz on the order of operations. Quiz graded when completed.

This resource has three sets of problems. Each set has six questions for evaluating mathematical expressions using ordering of operation. Select a problem set, then select a question. Fill in the blank with the correct answer for each...

A quick game in which students must evaluate an arithmetic expression involving three numbers and any of the four basic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division). Students must be careful to do the operations in the...

Assess student learning with a quiz on order of operations with parentheses. Quiz is graded when completed.

This lesson is designed to assist middle schoolers not only in using the order of operations, but also experimenting with how grouping and ordering affects answers. In groups as teams, the students will compete while finding algebraic...

The purpose of this task is to give students a chance to work creatively with three of the four fundamental arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, and multiplication). It is well suited for helping students develop fluency with...

This problem asks the student to evaluate six numerical expressions that contain the same integers and operations yet have different results due to the placement of parentheses. It helps students see the purpose of using parentheses....

This problem asks the student to evaluate three numerical expressions that contain the same integers yet have differing results due to placement of parentheses. Aligns with 6.EE.A.
