Your learners combine their knowledge of real and imaginary numbers and matrices in an activity containing thirty lessons, two assessments (mid-module and end module), and their corresponding rubrics. Centered on complex numbers and...

Examine scenarios involving number patterns. Learners complete a series of activities, including working with Pascal's triangle ando completing chart activities based on different pricing for pizza toppings. An included extension has...

The class practices, on paper and/or on a TI graphing calculator the concepts of how to add, multiply, divide and subtract complex numbers using the correct property.

Take your class on a field trip to Fractalland where they'll learn all about number and shape patterns. Based on Disney's movie Alice in Wonderland, this resource takes young mathematicians on an adventure as they explore patterns in...

A piece of this and a piece of that, add domain restrictions and create a piecewise function. Young scholars explore piecewise functions with and without context. Functions include both linear and quadratic parts. The module is the...

As a continuation of a previous lesson, this activity builds on the concept of calculating the terms of a sequence. Pupils are challenged to determine the smallest starting term to reach a set number by a set number of rounds. Notation...

Perform operations to add, subtract, multiply and divide matrices. Then solve problems with vectors using matrices. A three day lesson: Matrix Madness, Mystical Matrices, and Decode the Encode. The last lesson has prizes that the class...

There is more than one way to add mixed numbers. This instructional activity asks 5th graders to find and record two ways. The purpose is to help pupils realize there are different ways to reach a common solution in math. The two most...

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

The real value of education is highlighted in more than one way on a worksheet designed to not only add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals to hundredths, but also to address the correlation between higher pay...

Tap into the wisdom and knowledge of older members of the community with this New York Times plan. To warm up, learners write about and discuss advice they have been given. After reading "The Life Report," an op-ed column that asks older...

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.

Learners study how changes in the environment can drastically affect the survival of an animal. After a class discussion, pupils are divided up into groups and are given the task of coming up with the best environment to allow brine...

A simple question, with a not-so-simple answer. Working with whole and mixed number measurements in inches, feet, and yards presents a problem with many possible solutions. A great activity that challenges the minds of young...

Learners identify integers as rational and irrational numbers. In this algebra lesson plan, students measure and construct number lines using positive and negative integers. They convert between decimals and fractions.

Can you add variables if you don't know their value? Using an empty number line, scholars first locate the position of the difference, sum, product, and quotient of two unknown integers. Later problems mix operations as well as add...

Roll the dice with this activity and teach young mathematicians about probability. Record outcomes for rolling two number cubes in order to determine what is most likely to happen. Graph the data and investigate patterns in the results,...

Students explore the concept of adding and subtracting using positive and negative numbers. In this addition and subtraction of signed numbers lesson, students use pennies to represent positive and negative numbers. Students deposit and...

Third graders determine that the larger the denominator the more parts the whole is being divided into. They use fractions to communicate and compare parts of the whole. They discover what the numerator and denominator of a fraction...

Learners complete an experiment.  In this water pollution activity, students brainstorm information about river habitats and water pollution. Learners then read the story Freddy the Fish and complete an experiment where they use a...

Students create a notebook with divisibility rules in it. In this algebra activity, students write down the rules that determine the factors of a number. They continue to add to the book and use it to help them on their problems.

Seventh graders identify and find missing patterns. In this algebra lesson, 7th graders investigate numbers and sequences and complete the pattern. They make a chart and discuss similarities and differences.

Eighth graders investigate the input/output model for building function tables. From the data, 8th graders connect tables, graphs, function rules, and equations in one variable. They work backwards to determine function rules for given...

The sky's the limit of what you create when combining functions! The module begins with a review of transformations of parent functions and then moves to combining different function types using addition, subtraction, and...
