Students solve problems with complex numbers. In this algebra lesson, students factor complex numbers and simplify equations using DeMoivre's Theorem. They add, subtract, multiply and divide using negative roots.

Is it possible to add infinitely long decimals? As pupils complete the examples in the ninth lesson of this 25-part series, they determine that adding these decimals cannot be done without error. Their task is then to determine the size...

Students investigate Mayan Numbers. In this algebra lesson, students compare our number system to the number system of the Mayans. They identify base 10 and base 20 numbers including zero in the Mayan symbols. They solve a Mayan problem.

Students investigate the concept of fraction and tangible application. In this algebra lesson plan, students use fractions to solve real life scenarios. They convert between fractions and decimals and identify the numerator and denominator.

Young mathematicians learn how scientific notation is meant to save time. Part 10, out of a series of 15, asks scholars to recognize the correct use of scientific notation and finish by adding and subtracting numbers using...

Investigate expected value as a long-run average. The eighth installment of a 21-part module has scholars rolling pairs of dice to determine the average sum. They find aggregate data by working in groups and interpret expected value as...

Looking for a fresh take on traditional food/energy pyramids? Conduct an innovative activity where pupils build their own! The lesson uses research data from Gorongosa National Park in Mozambique for a real-life safari touch. Scholars...

Data encryption is an important security measure for sensitive data stored on computers. Pupils learn how to utilize matrices for creating code. They also get a great review of matrix multiplication, inverse matrices, and the identity...

Using a real-world example, this problem illustrates the thought process that learners need to engage in to understand adding mixed numbers with common denominators. First by looking at estimation, and then by drawing models that...

Students solve equations through trial and error. In this algebra lesson, students first estimate their answers and then calculate it to check their work. They solve problems involving roots and integers.

Students convert between decimals and fractions. In this algebra lesson, students show their knowledge of numbers by putting them on a number line. They apply the concept of algebra to solving word problems. Students will use a Ti...

Students describe a complex path by the use of adding vectors. They are explained the procedures and rules of the balloon car race. Students are remined that the summary and answers to the questions are due Monday. They are given the...

An informative module highlights eight polynomial concepts. Learners work with polynomial functions, expressions, and equations through graphing, simplifying, and solving. 

Here is a great learning task that focuses on the development of areas in computational fluency including strategies in mental math. Young learners are guided through a list of addition expressions that help them visually understand the...
