Groups plan their escape carefully. Three three-tiered puzzles help a story character escape their situation, each involving integer sequences, transformations, and geometric constructions. The teacher resource includes...

After completing an assessment task where they express numbers as the difference of squares (i.e., 9 = 5^2 – 4^2), class members note any patterns that they see in the problems.

Students use the zero principle to add integers. In this algebra lesson, students add positive and negative integers verifying the zero principle. They use manipulatives to help them see how opposites can cancel each other out.

Would you rather have a million dollars or 1 x 10^6 dollars? To find the answer to this question, class members first complete an assessment task converting numbers between decimal notation and scientific notation. They then take...

Middle schoolers solve integers using addition. In this algebra lesson, students add integers using counters. They define and label patterns created by integer operations.

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....

Students add integers using a number line. In this algebra lesson, students add one and two digit integers. They compare zero pairs and the addition of integers.

Eighth graders complete seven work stations that highlight math activities while they focus on the rules for Internet use and classroom rules for working in cooperative groups. After completing the activities, they complete a self-...

Students discover patterns and sequences. They use a website to explore patterns and fractals. Students share their discovery of fractals and their patterns with the class. They develop a list of patterns used in everyday life.

Pupils prepare to take a field trip to a museum focusing on El Favor De Los Santos. Individually, they develop a symbol based on a piece of art they have been shown. In groups, they write about their trip to the museum and share their...

Students subtract integers using counters. In this algebra lesson, students solve linear equations using an online tool. They use subtraction to isolate the variable.

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.

Young scholars graph inequalities and solve the equations. In this algebra lesson, students graph their solutions on a number line and create an inequality for a word problem.

Students explore the characteristics of sets and Venn Diagrams. Given data, students practice determining the placement of elements in a Venn Diagram. Students discuss the correspondence between data sets and their graphical...

Eleventh graders explore the spread of a disease through a population.  In this Algebra II lesson, 11th graders analyze graphical data representing they spread of a disease.  Students produce a graph of the virus data,...
