Students work with rectangles to find generalizations for adding and subtracting odd and even numbers in part one of the lesson. In part two, students use geoboards to construct polygons, look for patterns, and find a general rule.

Back to the basics: learning how to add numbers. The 17th installment of a 35-part module first reviews addition techniques for rational numbers, such as graphical methods (number line) and numerical methods (standard algorithm). It goes...

Bring some concrete reasoning to the skills of multiplying and combining terms. Using various strategies, the six activities in the module provide practice for the skills of adding, subtracting, multiplying, and diving polynomials. The...

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.

Middle and high schoolers complete and solve 12 various types of problems. First, they express the output as a function of the input in each table. Then, pupils evaluate for the given variable when the value is as stated. In addition,...

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...

There's a fine line between a numerator and a denominator! Learners find common denominators in order to add and subtract rational expressions. Examples include addition, subtraction, and complex fractions.

Just because one integer is larger than another doesn't mean it will make sense right away. Go beyond note taking and show learners, through the use of algebra tiles and a Four-Pan Algebra Balance, how the numbers relate to one...

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

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...

Students name and sketch numerical expressions. In this order of operation lesson, students add, subtract, multiply and divide using the correct order of operation. They perform four specific calculations for their motivation lesson.

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...

Third graders use addition to create numbers that are palindromes and organize their results to look for patterns. They make generalizations from patterns and practice reading large numbers and addition with regrouping.

Track down the Cyberchase episode that this instructional activity is associated with. Using a worksheet that is embedded in the plan, learners must find the next two numbers and shapes (a double pattern). Once these have been...

Students add and subtract polynomials. In this algebra lesson, students use algebra tiles to perform operation of polynomials. They model their problems and understand how to combine like terms using tiles.

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.

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...

A real-world scenario, Videobusters, a video rental store has just got to get organized. In small groups, the class works on organizing and analyzing data utilizing matrices. They need to use their skills in adding, subtracting and...

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...

High schoolers solve linear inequalities. In this solving linear inequalities lesson, students solve one step inequalities algebraically. High schoolers graph the solutions on a number line. Students compare the graphs of various...

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.

Factor polynomial functions that have two and three terms. Using Algeblocks, your class will create models to show their understanding of these concepts.

Students write equations for problems. In this number activity, students add, subtract, multiply and divide numbers to solve for a variable. They rewrite word problems using algebraic symbols.
