Practice basic operations for young mathematicians in fun ways! Using two decks of cards (Ace through 10 plus the joker), learners play "memory" by matching numbers that can be added to make 10 and writing number sentences. In another...

Fifth graders explore equality and inequality by participating in a Tilt/Balance activity. The students listen to the story "Lemonade for Sale" by Stuart J. Murphy and use equations to graph lemonade sale profits.

Challenge individuals to compete as many tasks as possible. Lower-level tasks have pupils apply costs and rates to solve problems. Upper-level tasks add algebraic reasoning and conditional probability to the tasks.

Explore a basic pattern to practice writing expressions. In collaborative groups, learners examine a contextual pattern and write an expression to model it. The task encourages groups to describe the pattern in multiple ways.

Help pupils to determine whether using square roots is the method of choice when solving quadratic equations by presenting a lesson that begins with a dropped object example and asks for a solution. This introduction to solving by...

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.

Put on your thinking caps because middle school math has never been more interesting in this huge resource full of thought provoking questions. Written as a newsletter, the resource has 10 two-page newsletters with a variety of...

Students apply their knowledge of math by rewriting word problems using equations. For this word problem lesson, students build upon previous knowledge as they set up the correct steps to solve word problems. This lesson is full of hints...

Students collect information and use a line to represent it. In this algebra instructional activity, students investigate real world data to see if it makes a line. They graph the line comparing the relationship of the x...

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

Your learners can approach this task algebraically, geometrically, or both. They analyze the building of a linear function given two points and expand the concrete approach to the abstract when they are asked to find the general form of...

Students apply their knowledge of math to the real world. In this algebra instructional activity, students explore different way to incorporate math topics into the real world. They create a score or progress sheet to mark their progress.

Physics stars design mobiles that demonstrate rotational equilibrium. They take measurements and solve related equations for force by graphing, substitution, or determinants. This is a well-developed lesson plan, complete with student...

Students graph polynomials functions and analyze the end behavior. In this algebra lesson plan, student differentiate between the different polynomials based on the exponents. They use a TI to help with the graphing.

Young scholars apply their knowledge of math to the real world. For this algebra lesson, students explore different way to incorporate math topics into the real world. They create a score or progress sheet to mark their progress.

Students create bank reconciliation spreadsheet. In this algebra lesson, students discuss the basics about business, money and bank accounts. They use a bank reconciliation statement correctly.

Students solve problems using patterns. In this algebra lesson, students identify the relation, domain and range of a function. They graph functions using coordinate pairs.

Students count from 0-99 using the binary number system. For this algebra lesson, students problem solve by working with faulty circuits and applying their knowledge f Binary Numbers. They work in team to create a solution.

Students solve problems using equations and properties of integers. In this algebra activity, students solve problems using ratio and proportion and graph their answers on a coordinate plane. They solve word problems using geometry.

Pupils collect real data on sound. In this algebra lesson plan, students use a CBL and graphing calculator to observe the graph created by sound waves. They draw conclusion about the frequency of sound from the graph.

The form of a quadratic function paints a picture of its graph. Young mathematicians explore this connection by locating key features on a graph and then writing the corresponding equations. The interactive tutorial highlights key...
