Multiplication on the fly becomes easy with the magic of estimating! Scholars round numbers up to four digits to complete multiplication problems without a calculator. They write in the new factors and the approximate product for the...

If your third graders have a hard time with multiplication, visualizing the problems might help. Six problems show learners how to count pairs of boxes to solve multiplication with the two times table. At the end, they draw boxes to...

Pupils visualize distance-rate-time problems by using bar models. The lesson presents examples of four different types of rate problems and shows how they can be solved using bar models and equations. Each example is followed...

Young mathematicians first graph a series of quadratic equations, and then investigate how various parts of the equation change the graph of the function in a predictable way.

Build upon linear functions to learn about quadratics. The lesson plan introduces the concept of zeros for quadratic functions and makes the connection to the linear factors of the function. It presents quadratics in both graphical and...

Engage in a hands-on addition and subtraction activity that is a wonderful tie-in with ocean studies. As the teacher, you will make up equations using construction paper and goldfish crackers.

To complete these number patterns mathematicians must determine by what number each is constantly increasing. However, this isn't your typical skip counting; scholars count by numbers like 18, 60, and even 101 to fill in the missing...

Solve five word problems involving money and weight. After studying the example at the top, which demonstrates how to write out the equation in a word problem, fourth graders work on adding large numbers in money and measurement. Here is...

Does a tennis ball have energy? What about a bowling ball? Demonstrate concepts of different forms of energy forms and states with a variety of objects. Using the equations for potential and kinetic energy,...

Scholars build robotic arms that swing back and forth and use them to collect velocity and acceleration data. To analyze the results, pupils compare data to the equations for angular velocity and centripetal acceleration.

Can scholars find the pattern as they multiply by 10? Third graders learn the beauty of number patterns as they shade in each multiple of ten in a hundreds chart. They complete 10 number sentences multiplying 10 by the numbers 1-10 (one...

Get scholars familiar with the fives multiplication facts using a hundreds chart and number sentences. They skip count by five on the chart, coloring in all numbers that are multiples of five. Do they see a pattern? Next, learners...

Looking for addition practice problems? You've found them! This worksheet features 30 double-digit addend equations and three examples to guide young mathematicians. Because they incorporate carrying for almost every problem, this...

Begin adding two-digit numbers with young mathematicians using this set of straightforward equations, none of which require regrouping. All have two-digit addends, and one sum is a three-digit number. Scholars can reference three...

Show kids that addition has real-life applications as they add up measurements and money. There are some examples here demonstrating regrouping and including units in an answer. They complete 20 measurement addition problems, each with...

Show young mathematicians that they are fully capable of mentally adding two-digit numbers. They start by solving 12 two-addend problems (all with two-digit numbers and aligned horizontally). There is no room to show work. Consider...

There is a step-by-step example here to help young multipliers solve 12 equations, all of which have one 2-digit and one 1-digit factor. The method displayed encourages breaking the two-digit number into tens and ones, multiplying each...

Visualize multiplication facts using rectangular arrays. Scholars multiply single-digit factors by five and represent each number sentence using sets of dots. They circle the groups of five and fill in missing parts of the equations....

It's raining math problems! Use this multiplication and division skills practice on a rainy day as scholars fill in water drops to complete number sentences. They fill in products, factors, dividends, divisors, and quotients to solve...

Put your class's time-telling skills to the test with word problems. Two examples show fourth graders how to write out the necessary equations, and how to solve for the answers. One of the problems requires two answers. 

Visualize multiplication with cartoon eyes and ears. Third graders count the pairs of eyes in each box, write the multiplication equation, and solve the problem. The second part of the activity provides space for learners to add their...

The Pythagorean Theorem is a geometry pupil's best friend! Learners explain the equation a1b1 + a2b2 = 0 for perpendicular segments using the Pythagorean Theorem. They are able to identify perpendicular segments using their...

Students fit quadratic models to windsail designs.  In this fitting quadratic models to windsail designs lesson, students compare quadratic models of sails with different measurements and mast size.  Students vary the a-value...
