How do you make these x's get along? Building on the previous lesson in the series, learners solve equations by combining like terms. The video uses objects to help pupils understand the concept. 

How many right triangles can you find in a prism, cone, or pyramid? Using right triangles to find lengths in three-dimensional figures is the focus of the lesson. After working with the Pythagorean Theorem to find missing side...

Lower young mathematicians' affective filter with a problem solving presentation that details four steps to make word problems appear less daunting. 

How many millimeters are in 10 meters? Which is greater: two centimeters or 30 millimeters? These are the types of questions learners can solve, along with one word problem, in a six-sectioned measurement brochure.

Customary units, also known as standard units of measurement, are the focus of a conversion brochure. Learners compare, identify, and convert customary units of length before folding the sheets into a brochure.

Discover different patterns by making connections between a rational function and its graph. An engaging lesson asks scholars to explore the behavior of different rational functions. Groups discover a connection between the function...

Find relationships between the structure of a function and its graph. An engaging lesson explores seven parent functions and their graphs. Learners match functions to their graphs and describe transformations.

How similar do figures have to be to be similar figures? Individuals learn to identify similar figures by verifying that angles are congruent and sides are proportional. Additionally, they match the corresponding parts of similar figures.

High schoolers work with large numbers when determining the height of a stack of $20 bills.

Students read about the changes in the "new money" and then create a graph to represent various combinations of currency produced.

Before handing out this number-value instructional activity make sure you explain all directions clearly, as they may throw some learners for a loop! Using starting numbers in a table, they first shade in all boxes with numbers smaller...

Teach your math class to determine the value of fractions. The group will explore how to break a fractional part into smaller pieces, which helps strengthen their understanding of the part/whole relationship of fractions. A written...

Which ones are equivalent? Scholars examine four fraction models to determine which ones represent the same fraction. This is a great way to help kids with numerators and denominators, as they can physically count the total number of...
