When one method isn't enough to teach GCF, try two! This interactive webpage introduces factors and the prime factor tree to find the greatest common factor of two numbers. After the lesson, have learners click to try the two examples...

Find the common denominator between prime factors, factor trees, and the distributive property. Scholars learn to find the least common multiple and greatest common factor of pairs of numbers. They rotate through stations to connect...

This is an exercise in finding the greatest common factor of two whole numbers. Use in direct instruction or as part of your guided practice. Make up additional problems for home work. It also can be used as a mini-assessment or test...

Make math simple with this step-by-step presentation on fractions in their simplest form. Multiple approaches are introduced including, most efficiently, the division of numerators and denominators by their greatest common factor. Work...

Individuals learn to apply the Euclidean algorithm to find the greatest common factor of two numbers. Additionally, the lesson connects greatest common factor to the largest square that can be drawn in a rectangle.

This unit on fractions allows for upper-aged elementary learners to explore ways to find the greatest common factor and least common multiple of two numbers. Ultimately, young mathematicians will be able to identify equivalent fractions,...

Are you looking for review questions before standardized testing? Grade 6 Claim 1 Item Slide Show offers nine questions covering a variety of topics using decimals, factors, and multiples. With separate slides for answers, using the...

Polynomial multiplication and factoring go hand in hand. Why not teach them together. This resource begins with an area model for distributing a monomial and then connects the process to factoring the GCF. Learners then advance to...

Young mathematicians discover trees organize more than just families — they help factor, too. The lesson begins with factor trees and develops slowly to factoring by grouping and special patterns. 

Prime or composite, that is the question. Teach your class how to find the answer with this step-by-step presentation that defines and provides examples of each type of number. When addressing larger numbers, divisibility rules are...

The product of the hard work is learning. Scholars use a simulation tool to collect information to analyze. They must decide when two ships traveling back and forth across a river at different rates will meet on the same side. The intent...

Hello Algebra! If you're in need of a resource with a books worth of examples and practice problems, this is it. Some topics include linear equations, polynomials and exponents, rational expressions, quadratic equations, and a...

Uncover the relationship between factoring quadratics and higher degree polynomials. Learners develop their factoring skills through repetition. A comprehensive activity begins with quadratics and shows how to use the same patterns to...

Factor in an informative resource when teaching about factoring. The 11th lesson in a 36-part module shows pupils how to factor algebraic expressions by applying the distributive property. Some of the problems involve expressions with...

What do you do when factoring doesn't work? Learners complete the square when faced with quadratic expression that don't factor traditionally. They then use factoring by grouping to solve polynomial equations.

Factoring polynomials is an important skill through high school math and beyond. It provides instructions for the basic types of factoring and a practice set with an answer key.

Factor in this resource when teaching how to factor polynomials. Scholars use algebra tiles to factor linear and quadratic expressions. They practice their skill by working on example problems from a worksheet.

While there are many types of equations to solve, the main focus here is on quadratics. Starting with a quick review of the different methods, learners are guided through the solving process and are challenged to solve higher level...

Polynomials are full of solutions! Learners understand that the degree determines the number of solutions. Examples show quadratic equations solved by factoring and by using the quadratic formula. A cubic equation is even mixed in for...

Patterns in polygons lead to patterns in polynomials. Presented with a series of polygons, individuals create polynomial expressions to represent their patterns. The algebra project consists of nine problems that incorporate polynomial...
