First graders explore fractions with manipulatives. In this fraction instructional activity, 1st graders use paper foods such as sandwiches and pizza in order to find halves, thirds, fourths, eighths, and more. This instructional...

Third graders divide by 2 and 5. In this math lesson, 3rd graders label the parts of a division sentence. Students solve division sentences using multiplication.

It is a-maze-ing how lost one can get. Teams reconstruct a simple maze and solve it. Participants create an algorithm that a robot would follow in order to solve the maze as well. The activity includes an extension directing pupils to...

Young mathematicians extend their knowledge of rational numbers on a number line to graph inequalities by first using number cards to compare rational numbers. They finish by using similar reasoning to graph inequalities on a number line.

Students are introduced to the concept of basic fraction problems including adding, subtracting, and multiplying. They pretend they own a baker and create different scenarios using the food orders.

Students explore the concept of the corner problem. In this corner problem lesson, students use the TI-NSpire to determine the maximum length a rod can be and still pass horizontally around a corner. Students use similar triangles to...

Students solve problems using fractals. In this geometry instructional activity, students identify properties of fractals. They find patterns in their surroundings and relate it to the real world and math.

Pupils calculate distance and proportion of objects. In this algebra instructional activity, students define proportion and how it is used in math. They solve the problem through guided instruction.

Ninth graders participate in a instructional activity focused on the concept of basic statistics. They find the mean, median, and mode of different data sets. More advanced students could practice creating a bell curve from the data.

Discuss the properties of 2D and 3D shapes in order to help learners understand the concept. Learners will participate in an interactive whiteboard lesson plan to develop understanding of 2D and 3D shapes.

Young scholars build and apply concepts of geometry. In this geometry lesson, students create a building using proportions and scale drawings. They use Cabri technology to create a virtual drawing first.

Students graph and solve equations and expressions. In this algebra lesson, students use simple factorization to simplify expressions. They review for an exam by doing basic algebra.

Six pages prepare you to introduce your math stars to the addition and subtraction of positive and negative numbers. They drive a robot back and forth on an actual number line to represent the operations. If you don't have access to a...

For use with a TI-nspire calculator, this instructional activity focuses on adding and subtracting polynomials. Learners use calculator to add and subtract polynomials using both the vertical method horizontal methods. A class discussion...

This heady calculus text covers the subjects of differential and integral calculus with rigorous detail, culminating in a chapter of physics and engineering applications. A particular emphasis on classic proof meshes with modern graphs,...

How much can different shapes hold? The answer varies depending on the shape and dimensions. Individuals learn the formulas for the volume of a sphere, cone, and cylinder. They apply the formulas to find the volume of these...

Fifth graders investigate the concepts of combinations and permutations using probability. They practice calculations using probability to measure the outcomes. Students demonstrate how to organize and categorize the data.

Students calculate the distance from the vertex of a triangle to the center. In this geometry lesson, students find the shortest distance between a point and the vertex of a triangle. They relate this concept of distance to the real world.

Students compare and order numbers. In this geometry lesson plan, students write equations for inequalities. They differentiate and apply concepts of triangular properties to solve problems.

Scholars explore graphing. They will listen to and sing "The Twelve Days of Christmas" and estimate how many gifts were mentioned in the song. Then complete a data chart representing each gift given in the song. They also construct...

Prompt scholars to complete a magic square using only variables. Then they can attempt to solve a numerical magic square using algebra. 

Examine numbers in scientific notation as a comparison of size. The 14th lesson in the series asks learners to rewrite numbers as the same power of 10 in scientific notation to make comparisons. Pupils also learn how to use a calculator...

Reciprocals are the method used for dividing fractions in this instructional session. A fraction is defined as being a division problem, and then the whole group works together to solve several problems. They check for the reasonableness...

What does order of operations have to do with solving equations? A video explains solving two-step equations using a do/undo chart. Learners recognize the operations within an equation and use inverse operations to undo those...
