Second graders rotate through various centers designed to practice consumer math skills. They complete a task card at stations simulating consumer transactions that would take place at toy store, grocery store, restaurant or school store.

In this math worksheet, students solve nine word problems using addition and subtraction. Students are encouraged to show their work.

For this problem solving strategy worksheet, students use a given table to solve 3 word problems. Houghton Mifflin text is referenced.

Third graders use basic multiplication and division skills to solve 40 problems. There are also extension/challenge problems which require two steps.

Using the colored strips of paper they created on day one, learners explore dividing one item equally into three, five, six, nine, 10, and 12 servings. They use their number lines to illustrate what each fraction would look like. 

Compare fractions with common numerators! Pupils look at fractions with different denominators and the same numerator to find which one is bigger. They look at hands-on manipulations of fractions to understand the concept of why one is...

Elementary and secondary learners compare fractions that have uncommon denominators and add and subtract fractions that have common denominators. They practice reducing fractions and getting denominators to be the same so they can add...

Students read a book to discover the importance of sharing. They predict what will happen in the story. Students use manipulatives to model the story problem. Students follow instructions, measure ingredients, and make cookies.

Fourth graders participate in a variety of activities designed to promote cooperation and positive conflict resolution. In cooperative groups, they create a comic strip or poster, play cooperative musical chairs, write a journal entry...

This number sense PowerPoint quizzes students on counting objects from one through ten. Students identify the number of M&M's on each cookie and check their answer on the following slide.

Third graders subtract by counting forward. In this lesson plan with subtraction word problems, 3rd graders find the solution by counting forward from the number they are subtracting and by drawing pictures.

Learn how to use a matrix to organize data to solve a problem. This activity uses wins and losses to rank players for an air hockey tournament they wish to have. After practicing some basic matrix operations the class could do the...

A TI-nspire instructional activity to find determinants of matrices using calculators. The class follows along in this step by step activity to explore operations on matrices. They will mostly be multiplying and at the end of the...

Examine dilation with matrices with your class. Learners write a conjecture for how the scale factor determines the size of an image. They then use their conjecture to write a matrix multiplication problem for the illustrated...

Here's a TI step by step guided lesson on matrices. The class enters data into the TI calculator about movie ticket sales and uses matrices as a problem solving tool. They add and multiply matrices to determine profit.

Investigate the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra and explore polynomial equations to determine the number of factors, the number of roots, and investigate multiplicity of roots.

Using your graphing calculator, find all the rational zeroes of a polynomials by using the Rational Zero Theorem. Divide polynomials using the Remainder Theorem and the Factor Theorem and then graph it to find the number of real roots.

Pupils use calculators to work independently to discover the rules for working with exponents. The lesson requires the use of a TI-nspire handheld and software.

Explore the concept of systems of equations in two variables and use matrices to solve them. Young mathematicians enter coefficients and constants into a matrix and then solve using row reduction. Instructions on how to use the shortcut...

Learners investigate matrices by exploring addition, subtraction and multiplication of matrices.  Students find the determinant and inverse of a matrix.  The lesson includes a set of practice problems

A TI technology activity that helps learners to recognize and use the characteristic of a perfect square quadratic to complete the square. Additionally, they apply their knowledge to solve real-world problems.

High schoolers explore trigonometric identities.   In this Algebra II lesson, students use graphing to verify the reciprocal identities.  Using Cabri Jr, high schoolers investigate the Pythagorean trigonometric identities...

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.

The class practices, on paper and/or on a TI graphing calculator the concepts of how to add, multiply, divide and subtract complex numbers using the correct property.
