An interactive resource challenges mathematicians to show what they know about prime factorization. Five multiple-choice, true or false, and discussion questions use chocolate chip cookies to set a real-world application of the...

Learning about factors and multiples is all fun and games with this simple math activity. The lesson begins with the teacher and class playing the Factor Game together as students figure out the rules and uncover key...

How many prime numbers are there between 1 and 100? By using a prime time resource, your scholars should be able to answer this question. Using arrays, they determine if numbers are prime or composite, and then write a prime...

Create rectangle and area models to help students understand expressions. The third installment in the 28-part series has pupils first represent expressions using rectangular array models. The exercises help scholars understand the...

Students classify, add, subtract, and factor polynomials. In this polynomials lesson, students classify polynomials by creating their own system. During a discussion, the class decides on a common system. They add and subtract...

Fifth graders explore common factors. In this factorization lesson, 5th graders discover the greatest common factor among two numbers in a game format. Students build on previous knowledge to determine the greatest common factor.

Using the provided worksheets, students solve equations involving factoring and finding square roots. At the conclusion of the lesson, they discuss the answers and any difficulty experienced in solving the equations.

Dive into this problem that illustrates a real-world application of the quadratic formula. Learners are given an equation that represents the height of a diver above the water t seconds after leaving the springboard. The task is to...

Nine true or false, multiple-choice, and discussion questions make up an interactive designed to reinforce scholars' knowledge of prime and composite numbers. A number chart reveals every prime number through 100. 

Here is a learning activity that incorporates a classic puzzle in mathematics. Young mathematicians are guided through a series of statements that describe rounds of pupils opening and closing lockers. The first person opens all 20...

Sometimes being different is an advantage. An engaging activity has scholars match cards with quadratic functions in various forms. Along the way, they learn about how each form highlights key features of quadratic functions.

Identifying patterns is a crucial skill for all mathematicians, young and old. Explore the multiplication table with your class, using patterns and symmetry to teach about square numbers, prime numbers, and the commutative and identity...

Throw some logic into quadratics and see if learners can match a vague graph to multiple equations. Young mathematicians must look at quadrant location, vertices, and intercepts to best match the graph to one or more equations. 

Patterns and polynomials go hand in hand. Budding mathematicians analyze sequences of dot diagrams to discover the patterns in the number of white dots and black dots. They use the identified patterns to write and simplify a polynomial...

Students inspect divisibility rules. In this divisibility rules lesson, students study the relationship between factorization and the divisibility rules for 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, and 10. Students read One Hundred Hungry Ants and A Remainder of...

Learners use desk arrangements to help them learn about factors, arrays, and commutativity. In this multiplication lesson, students read a multiplication problem about student desk arrangements. Learners then brainstorm a solution to the...

Fifth graders use interlocking cubes to build towers to represent factors of numbers and place the towers in the appropriate places on a Tower chart in order to look for patterns. They work in partner groups, and finish by writing...

Scholars first complete an individual assignment using a quadratic equation to model the movement of a bus around a corner. Learners then discuss their solutions with classmates and analyze the provided sample responses.

Your algebra learners interpret algebraic expressions, in order to compare their structures, using a geometric context. They also discern how the two expressions are equivalent and represent a pattern geometrically and algebraically.

Learners are given a graph of a parabola on a coordinate system, but intercepts and vertex are not labeled. The task is to analyze eight given quadratic functions and determine which ones might possibly be represented by the graph. The...

Secondary pupils examine the housing bubble and the 2008 and global economic crisis. Defining GDP and GDP growth, recession, and bubbles, young economists debate what makes a bubble and how housing can be an economic indicator....
