Curated OER
Multiplying Decimals and Mixed Numbers
Students multiply decimals and/or mixed numbers. They explore the effects of multiplying decimals and mixed numbers. They practice estimating answers when a number is multiplied by a decimal or mixed number.
Curated OER
Worksheet 19
In this math worksheet, students try to fit a line to a set of data. Then they use the least squares method is based on minimizing the sum of the squares of the errors.
Curated OER
Pythagorean Theorem
Students solve problems using the Pythagorean Theorem. In this geometry lesson, students identify the sides and angles of a right triangle. They find the different trigonometric ratios and solve using sine, cosine and tangent.
