Lead your class on an exploration of basic algebra using this resource. As part of a game, learners answer algebra questions involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. 

The connection between fractions and division is not always intuitive for 5th graders. Pie, on the other hand, is something 5th graders can connect with. Multiple pies divided among multiple people provide the platform for your...

A set of worksheets prompts learners to practice solving fraction-based word problems. Each problem involves the division of whole numbers by unit fractions. As they work, mathematicians begin to see how division relates...

Multiplying with multiples of 10, 100, and 1,000 provides an opportunity to discuss patterns that arise with zeros. The class uses these patterns to solve problems. Then they rotate through three work stations, including a computer-based...

Practice converting a conventional number into scientific notation, and vice-versa. Using an applet, they perform the operations of multiplication and division on numbers expressed in scientific notation.

In this algebra instructional activity, mathematicians identify important vocabulary related to solving equations. They create and simplify expressions and solve word problems. There are a total of 10 questions that provide a good review...

There are three money word problems in this activity, each one is set in the same context. The first asks what was the total amount grandma spent, the second how many grandchildren grandma has, and the third asks how much grandma spent...

Are exponent rules different if the exponents are negative? Using the definition of negative exponents and the rules of exponents, the resource shows that the rules of exponents hold independent of the sign of the exponent. Practice...

Upper graders explore the topic of volume. For this math lesson plan, pupils count volume in cubic units, multiply to find volume, estimate volume, write a multiplication sentence to find the volume, and make a cost analysis of different...

A set of 9 math vocabulary cards prompts young mathematicians to master division concepts. The top half of each sheet contains the word printed in bold text, while the bottom half has the definition card.

When three classrooms are to split up prize money, your mathematicians must find the percentage that each class deserves and calculate the total amount. There is an option to use a calculator and practice rounding. 

For this number sentence worksheet, 3rd graders decide whether they will add, subtract, multiply or divide to solve five word problems. Students write out the number sentence for each word problem on the lines provided.

Investigate how public key cryptography works. Scholars continue their study of one-way functions and asymmetric keys and apply this information to public key cryptography. They use an app to explore public key cryptography and its...

Turn your math lesson into a carnival game with this fun, outdoor activity. After reviewing the concept your class will be practicing briefly, split your class up into teams and head outdoors. These teams work to solve math questions and...

There are three parts to this lesson on integers. In the first, learners explore positive and negative numbers on an actual painter's tape number line and by playing a "Hot Seat" game. In part two, they view a BrainPop video and work...
