Mixed numbers can be added conceptually, algorithmically, and physically. Have the class visualize mixed numbers by adding fraction bars together. They then discover the algorithmic process that simplifies adding mixed numbers. Finally,...

Learning to break apart numbers into smaller pairs is a critical step young mathematicians take as they develop their number sense. To practice this skill, children are provided with sets of three numbers and are asked to pick the two...

Middle schoolers investigate the mathematical concept of absolute value by counting the number of steps taken in two directions. Using the number line the teacher can note how they can forward and backward without changing the absolute...

I can multiply, so why can't I add these radicals? Mathematicians use the distributive property to explain addition of radical expressions. As they learn how to add radicals, they then apply that concept to find the perimeter of...

The 10th lesson in a series of 32, continues with the geometry of arithmetic of complex numbers focusing on multiplication. Class members find the effects of multiplying a complex number by a real number, an imaginary number, and another...

In this multiplication and division worksheet, students practice multiplying and dividing whole numbers with different pictures to illustrate their problems. Students complete 29 problems.

For this whole numbers worksheet, students fill in different charts asking about the place value of various whole numbers. Students complete 8 problems.

Pupils engage in a lesson plan which provides a fun way to increase a student's ability to combine and separate numbers to form landmarks. They access a game online and play in pairs.

Learners use manipulatives to study shapes. They sort shapes and use correct geometric terminology to describe them. Students find real-life examples of 2 and 3 dimensional shapes, and classify figures in their classroom according to...

Students explore all types of numbers. In this factors, perfect numbers, abundant numbers, and defective numbers lesson students investigate the attributes of certain types of numbers and complete an activity sheet.

Fifth graders review the concept of negative numbers and how the are placed on a number line. After the review, 5th graders practice placing negative numbers on a number line in a whole class setting.

In this two digit addition without regrouping worksheet, 2nd graders will find the sums of 18 problems and solve 3 word problems.

Students identify two- and three-dimensional figures and associate them with real-world objects.  In this geometry instructional activity, students are read The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle and complete several activities...

Use paper strips or models to relate division problems to division of fraction problems. Since the materials can be broken up, it helps them to show how they can complete repeated subtraction with fractions and not just whole numbers.

Using a real-world example, this problem illustrates the thought process that learners need to engage in to understand adding mixed numbers with common denominators. First by looking at estimation, and then by drawing models that...

Second graders use a number line to understand multiples.  In this number line lesson, 2nd graders use a floor size number line and calculate problems with multiples. Students complete a worksheet with multiples.

In this simple addition worksheet, 3rd graders solve 14 problems adding 2 one-digit numbers. Students also solve 3 problems adding 3 one-digit numbers. Finally, students solve 3 word problems involving simple addition.

Youngsters participate in three activities using the hundreds chart. They will choose numbers to add up to one hundred. Whoever gets the most combinations wins. Two variations of the game are supplied.

Learnes practice an alternate way of carrying when doing addition. In this addition lesson plan, everyone applies an alternate algorithm when they need to carry when adding. They work from left to right instead of starting in the ones...

An interesting historical fact about how handcarts benefitted to the Mormon pioneers is the context behind this math lesson plan. Using given facts and figures regarding the handcart, pupil pairs create math word problems, share them...

In this using ten to add to seven, eight and nine worksheet, students, working with a partner, practice adding various numbers to the number ten for mastery.

Young scholars explain what it means to square numbers. They explain what it means to cube numbers. Students define prime numbers using their own language. They are introduced to the problem by playing one game as a class.

Seventh graders explore the concept of integer addition. For this integer addition lesson, 7th graders tell stories involving addition and subtraction. Students walk on a number line given directions such as add 3 or add -2. Students...

How do you fit a tape measure around the Earth? No need if you know a little geometry! Pupils begin by extending their understanding of the Side Splitter Theorem to a transversal cut by parallel lines. Once they identify the...
