Excite the class with a mathematical trick, a calculator, and a good number sense. They use the directions provided on each slide to make a list of numbers, use their calculator to divide, and find the golden mean. A little history on...

How can learners use algebra to solve a geometry problem? Help learners create an equation that shows the relationship between the number of sides of a polygon and the sum of the interior angles. Learners are asked to divide the...

Solve equations by completing the square. The pupils factor quadratic equations and graph the parabola. They also identify the different terms in the equation and look for patterns.

What does completing the square have to do with circles? Math pupils use completing the square and other algebraic techniques to rewrite equations of circles in center-radius form. They then analyze equations of the form x^2 + y^2 + Ax +...

Assume all you know is that the variable Q represents a value that is bigger than the value represented by the variable P. Which is larger P + Q or 2P? The problems in this activity get more complex than...

An alien-themed learning game challenges scholars to solve algebraic equations with exponents and variables using multiplication. 

This two-day activity will help the class simplifying rational expressions. It also has an emphasis on understanding when a rational expression is undefined. The activity contains powerpoint presentations, worksheets, and answer key.

Develop conceptual knowledge of a quadratic equation and its solutions in your classes. The third algebra instructional activity in a series of four introduces learners to solving quadratic equations slowly. The first activity explores...

Help the class understand how to different fractions can be equivalent. Mixed numbers and fractions are defined, equivalent fractions are shown and described, and problem solving strategies are used for a class...

Using the provided tracing number worksheet, a pair of kindergartners will practice their adding skills. Player A will roll two die, add the sum, and then trace the sum on the worksheet. Player B will take a turn and do the same. The...

Here is a resource where algebra learners show their understanding of a system of equations involving a circle and a line. Once graphed, learners see two points of intersection, one where the ordered pair is read, and a second where...

In the deserts of Arizona and New Mexico, some tiny creatures show just how quickly natural selection can turn a mutation into an advantageous adaptation. Watch a video about rock pocket mice, who show that one small change can make all...

Do you have financial goals? How will you make them happen? Help your pupils answer these questions through this interactive project. They create goals and a plan for reaching them as one of many high school algebra projects.

Determine the area of a square with quadratics. Pupils use the interactive to visualize the process of completing the square. Scholars build a square area model to represent a quadratic expression then determine the amount that...

This worksheet contains a good selection of problems of adding and subtracting rational expressions. There are eight problems. None of the problems have common denominators.  A few are mixed expressions and some require factoring....

Help your fourth graders master the 7 times table. They complete number sequences and solve multiplication problems in numerical and written formats. Once they finish this activity, they'll be ready to take on 8s and 9s! 

An innovative way to practice reading data, as well as the four operations! Three picture graphs prompt first graders to count marbles, books, and pets. They also solve addition and subtraction problems. Additionally, they work on...

Introduce your third graders to multiplication with a worksheet on square numbers. An example demonstrates how to use dots to reinforce multiplication skills. They solve different problems, ranging from 3x3 to 10x10. A great homework...

Use this resource to present your number crunchers with how to write a constraint equation and to determine viable solutions. The price of an object limits the amount that can be purchased. The speed at which you walk limits the number...

Young geometers develop one of the fundamental properties of quadrilaterals (connecting side midpoints gives a parallelogram) in this short but thought-provoking exercise. Using a combination of hands-on techniques and abstract algebraic...

This presentation covers a lot of ground. Square numbers, metal math computations, commutative property, ordering positive and negative integers, factoring, and real world problem solving are all covered. Use over the course of several...

Part/whole relationships mean it's time to practice fractions. This slide-show makes reviewing fractions a colorful and fun activity. Learners work through the first seven slides to identify the shaded amount, solve two parts of a given...

Your class can learn all about inverse operations. They will review what inverse operations are, see examples, learn how to use inverse operation to check an answer, write addition and subtraction equations in the inverse, and use the...

Proofs may be as easy as 1, 2, 3 ... maybe. Pupils participate in creating four example proofs. The presentation uses a list of geometric properties to develop the proofs by filling in both the statements and reasons. Scholars practice...
