When students explore mathematics through patterns they will build a strong number sense and creative analysis skills. This presentation shows students that 0's, 1's, 2's, 5's, 6's, and 9's all have patterns. Tip: Before revealing each...

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...

More than just a one-problem resource, learners must explain their answer and incorporate a writing component to mathematical thinking. The resource also includes an explanation of the solution to help with the reasoning. 

In this operations worksheet, learners solve a word problem involving the math operations in order. Students complete 1 complicated higher order thinking problem.

Move vectors to determine their difference. Pupils use an interactive to visualize the opposite of a vector. They use the concept of adding vectors to subtract vectors by adding the opposite and, finally, view the differences of the...

Challenge your classes to find the pattern of a double function machine. After recording the outputs of both machines, learners identify the pattern and the corresponding function. Both patterns involve adding/subtracting a constant.

The process requires the combination of several concepts. A video shows how individuals need several concepts to add rational expressions. Pupils must remember they need to find common denominators, combine like terms, and use the...

Math whizzes read through three examples on solving linear equations and then work online through three practice problems. For the practice questions, they can click on "Show me. . . " to see the solution. A total of 26 linear equation...

What do these pictographs show? Scholars analyze three sets of data organized into pictographs, filling in several comprehension questions about each. The first one is done for them as an example, but consider going over it together to...

Don't worry, this resource actually exists. Scholars learn about imaginary numbers and work on problems simplifying square roots of negative numbers. As an extension, they research the history of imaginary numbers.

This two-day lesson will help the class simplifying rational expressions. It also has an emphasis on understanding when a rational expression is undefined. The lesson contains powerpoint presentations, worksheets, and answer key.
