Stay tuned for a programming announcement. The resource contains the four free-response questions from the 2007 AP® Computer Science exam. Teachers and pupils use the questions to understand how topics appear on exams. The items cover...

Imagine computer science all summed up in one book. This resource provides 16 chapters that cover many aspects of computer science, ranging from algorithms to software engineering. The e-book contains links to applets to help explain...

Make math much simpler with mental math methods. The 16th installment in a series of 21 looks at ways scholars can apply mental math to convert division problems into easier problems with the same quotient. Multiplying or dividing both...

In this long division worksheet, students review the algorithm for finding the quotient in long division problems. They use the process to answer 12 problems.

Young scholars examine the Egyptian method of multiplication and independently multiply any two numbers using the Egyptian algorithm.

In this math worksheet, students practice analyzing root finding algorithms, Newton-Raphson and secant. They use the examples to master the concepts.

For this math worksheet, students examine the concepts of generalizing root-finding algorithms and fixed point iteration. They also practice using the Fixed Point Theorem.

In this math worksheet, students explore the uses for the computer program of Matlab. They use the basic functions of the program to execute algorithms.

In this math instructional activity, students solve a variety of arithmetic algorithms. Students use multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction skills to solve the problems.

Third graders study partial-products algorithms. In this math lesson, 3rd graders use an algorithm to find the product of factors. Students discuss the relationships between multiplication and division.

In this dart problem worksheet, students write an algorithm to determine the greatest impossible score for a dartboard game.  This one-page worksheet contains 1 problem.  The answer is listed at the end of the problem.

Fourth graders study a division algorithm. In this math instructional activity, 4th graders solve division problems using partial quotients. Students solve division problems and check their answers with the class.

Solve a maze ... from a robot's point of view. In the lesson, your scholars build a small, simple maze from cardboard and then find a route from the start point to the finish point. They write an algorithmic process that a robot could...

LEGO see if you can recreate my design. Individuals build an arrangement from LEGO blocks and write directions for someone else to follow in order to recreate the arrangement. Pairs then swap directions and try to...

In this shoelace algorithm learning exercise, students determine the area of a triangle when given the coordinates of the vertices. They determine the area of a quadrilateral. Students find the average of the x and y coordinates.

Groups explore sets of 10 items in two varieties (i.e. 3 white buttons and 7 black ones, or 5 bears and 5 bunnies). They brainstorm about their objects, write math sentences to represent what they have, and report their discoveries...

Mathematicians show their understanding of a division problem. If a student can apply long division to a pair of numbers and determine a quotient, what other factors and multiples become apparent? The example illustrates a simple...

Introduces addition of decimals by using unit notation to represent the problem. Pupils use a place value chart to decompose the numbers and then add before connecting to the standard algorithm. 

Take a little bit away. The 10th section of an 18-part unit introduces subtraction of decimals. Scholars use a place value chart like they did with addition of decimals to organize and represent the problem. After using the place value...

Build a true understanding of division of polynomials. Learners use their knowledge of multiplying polynomials to create an algorithm to divide polynomials. The area model of multiplication becomes the reverse tabular method of division.

Even computers find this to be a hard problem. In the eighth installment of a 12-part unit, young computer scientists learn about the traveling salesperson problem. They formulate algorithms to solve the problem and find out why it is...
