How can you tell if a commercial or salesperson is being misleading? Encourage your learners to protect themselves and their money with a lesson about consumer rights. They review laws that keep consumers safe from faulty claims and...

Support your young scientists' knowledge of logarithms with a quick video lesson. The instruction first presents the relationship between a base-10 logarithm and an exponential equation. It then demonstrates how to use a calculator to...

In this practice worksheet, students use the order of operations to solve given equations. There are 44 problems on this two-page worksheet.

Scholars identify and continue the numerical pattern for the number of wheels on a train. Using the established pattern and its inverse, they determine whether a number of wheels is possible. Pupils finish...

Evaluate patterns of numbers through an engaging task. Scholars work collaboratively to determine a general rule reflecting the sum of consecutive positive integers. Multiple patterns emerge as learners explore different arrangements.

Knowing how to scale a recipe is an important skill. Young mathematicians determine the amount of ingredients they need to make a certain number of truffles when given a recipe. They determine a relationship between ingredients given a...

Students apply abstract concepts, such as stress, fulcrums, the law of gravity, and the strength of different geometric shapes. Groups of student contractors operate simulated architectural firms to create strong, economical bridges.

Don't think negatively about exponents. Young mathematicians dissect a fictional conversation between pupils trying to evaluate an expression with a negative exponent. This allows them to understand the meaning of negative exponents.

Eighth graders investigate slopes using real life scenario. In this algebra lesson, 8th graders model and interpret real life data. They plot their data in a coordinate plane and discuss the results with the class.

Students explore physics by participating in a flight experiment. In this rocket design lesson, students discuss the scientific process and how chemical reaction can create the energy needed to boost a rocket. Students utilize...

Tenth graders answer a variety of problems based on similar triangle and learn about the rule of thumb. They will test the rule of thumb by estimating the distance to an object in the classroom.

Eighth graders engage in hands-on activities to determine the surface areas of various objects. Using boxes, they cut them so they can lay flat and measure all the various shapes, which can be calculated and added together to equal the...

Fifty-two problems present a variety of practice completing, evaluating and simplifying expressions and equations that have exponents in them. They are given with each step to the solution cleverly revealed one at a time. You can work...

Get independent practice working with the properties of exponents. Each incorrect response gets a text box explanation and another try. Correct responses are confirmed.

This is a simplified explanation about exponents along with a few rules for combining numbers with exponents.

Purplemath gives both a formal and informal discussion of log rules with exercises. Examples include expanding, simplifying, and evaluating logarithms. Changing the base of a logarithm is also discussed with examples.

The Product of a Power and Power to a Power laws of exponents are introduced. Examples are included to demonstrate how to simply expressions with these laws.
