Zoe needs to back up her music collection, but do her friends have enough space on their computers to help? Find out as you teach your class how to add two- and three-digit numbers with regrouping. Place value is emphasized as both the...

Show your class all the hard work you have put into their lesson by showing this PowerPoint presentation. They will not only be proud of you, but it will help them solve multiplication and division word problems using the algorithms.

How does a computer recognize voice commands? Scholars learn about digital assistants and natural language processing (NLP) algorithms in the ninth lesson of the series. They begin building a simple digital assistant and work on this...

Back to the basics: learning how to add numbers. The 17th installment of a 35-part module first reviews addition techniques for rational numbers, such as graphical methods (number line) and numerical methods (standard algorithm). It goes...

Explore the difference between stochastic and deterministic modeling through programming. First have the class write algorithms for relatively simple tasks using pseudocode. Use the Python 2.7 program app to simulate Mendel's Pea Pod...

How do you apply the traditional division algorithm to polynomials? Here is an Algebra II lesson that extends the use of the division algorithm to polynomials. After establishing the concept of long division, synthetic division and the...

The learner puts reasoning and estimation to work. The directions are to place a decimal in the answer to make the equation true. Pupils are to look at the two problems, one multiplication and one division, and estimate an answer. No...

There are many ways to work through a multiplication problem. Using an area model, kids complete several worksheets with different types of multiplication problems, including multiplying by ten, and explain how the new strategies differ...

Introduce search engines with an activity that models how search engines work and the different algorithms they employ. Working in groups, class members then build search queries to demonstrate the knowledge learned.

Students survey each other and determine their common interests. They examine the use of algorithms by various websites that are used to develop networks of interest groups among users. They then design proposals for a social networking...

Sixth graders play the game "MultipliACTION," where they use a standard algorithm to multiply numbers. They use the website Mathfrog and select "MultipliACTION." Students fill in the answer boxes, from right to left, top to bottom, or...

Young scholars use the partial products algorithm to complete multiplication problems. In this partial products lesson plan, students are introduced to the algorithm and connect the relationship to multiplication and division problems.

For this ellipse worksheet, learners explore given equations and write them in standard form. This one-page worksheet contains ten ellipse algorithms.

In this math worksheet, learners match math vocabulary to definitions and then solve problems using Euler's theorem and Fleury's algorithm. Students complete 24 problems.

Your second graders explore two digit addition with regrouping. They will investigate problem solving strategies within the context of a trip to the zoo. Multiple resources and assessments are provided.

Everyone does their fair share. The sixth segment in a 22-part unit presents the mean as a fair share. Groups build a conceptual understanding of the mean of a data set, rather than simply learn an algorithm. Learners use the...

Be sure to place value on place value understanding. Young mathematicians learn to divide decimals by whole numbers when compatible numbers are not available. They use place value discs in place value charts, then connect this strategy...

Manipulatives make learning division easier! Your class will discover the difference between dividing with one- and two-digit divisors, and practice the procedures for each using the standard algorithm. They will use estimation to ensure...

Long division without remainders is the name of the game in this resource. Students practice the standard algorithm as they solve problems that containing four- or five-digit dividends and three-digit divisors. There are actually six...

Make learning visible! Have your mathematicians follow along as you use paper strips to demonstrate the concept of multiplying unit fractions. Then, offer a different way of solving the problem using a number line. Finally, introduce the...

Fifth graders need concrete experiences to introduce a unit on multiplying fractions by fractions. A strip of paper is used to create a number line and represent 5/6. It is folded first in half, and then in quarters. After unfolding,...

Learning the algorithm for long division is no easy task, but this resource helps to break the process into manageable steps. Beginning with an explanation of basic division vocabulary, this presentation goes on to model long division...

Area works with decimals too. Pupils use the interactive to model multiplication of two decimals using an area model. They see how the decomposed components of the factors obtain partial products and then the complete product. Using area...

In this long division PowerPoint, a division problem featuring a 3 digit number divided by a 2 digit number is solved using 12 specific steps. Age-appropriate vocabulary and text accompany the number problem, and a bold red, black, and...
