Fifth graders use arrays to show the meaning of multipication in selected situations. They practice using large and small arrays. The lesson plan has numerous activities, which gives students more opportunities to display academic growth.

In this adding integers practice instructional activity, students sharpen their problem solving skills as they solve 6 story problems.

Ninth graders investigate how to solve equations with the variable present on both sides. They practice isolating the variable and combining like terms before solving the equation for the variable.

In this subtracting integers practice worksheet, students sharpen their problem solving skills as they solve 6 story problems.

Students read a book and complete exercises to explore the meaning of 'equals.' In this equal numbers lesson, students brainstorm the meaning of equals and read a story about the topic. Students use manipulatives to study balance and...

In this finding the mean activity, students find the mean of a group of numbers and then crack the letter code according to the answers. Students complete 9 problems.

For this counting worksheet, students analyze a long linked series of cubes in two colors. Students count one color of cubes and record that number. Students then count the other color of cube and do the same. Finally, students write the...

Pupils solve equations with the help of their teacher. In this simple equations lesson, students listen to the story Centipede's 100 Shoes by Tony Ross and use the scenarios given in the book as addition and subtraction problems....

Students solve related addition and subtraction problems. In this addition and subtraction lesson, students use the book Ten Sly Piranhas by William Wise as the source of word problems for students to solve.

In this subtraction skills activity, students solve 3 problems that require them to count the pictures representing numbers, subtract, and find the difference.

First graders investigate, represent and solve problems using number facts, operations, and their properties. They solve on-step addition and subtraction number sentences and word problems using concrete materials. Students construct...

Eighth graders investigate how to combine polynomials using different operations. The use of tiles is done in order to accommodate those who are kinesthetic learners. The sequencing of the lesson is easy to follow.

Sixth graders examine how to select samples and apply them to an experiment. In this sampling lesson, 6th graders use a bag of yellow and blue cubes to take a sample. They predict how many of each color there are the bag. They set up and...

Students complete activities to explore number sequence. In this number arrangements lesson, students play a game of finger flash and then read the book 12 Ways to Get to 11. Students count and track the amounts in the book to make an...

Students investigate linear equations through models. In this algebra lesson, students investigate solving one and two step equations. Review solving a basic equation before starting this assignment.

Students find zero pairs and add integers using zero pairs and a number line. They generalize rules for adding integers. The class view approximately 10 minutes of video divided into three segments.

Students find zero pairs and add integers using zero pairs and a number line. They generalize rules for adding integers. Students complete a matching activity on the Internet that helps them practice adding integers.

In this finding fractional parts of a set worksheet, students, working with a partner, problem solve seven word problems and equations involving fractional parts.

Students assess informal methods to solve real-world problems that utilize simple equations that involve one variable. They incorporate concrete objects to assist them in the solving of a variety of equations. The students are actively...

Students add and subtract integers.  In this integer lesson, students use models to demonstrte the addition and subtraction of integers.  They describe zero pairs and write steps to add and subtract integers. 

Second graders create stories that model comparison subtraction while using the environmental mats. They suggest situations in which they compare numbers. For example, if one student has 6 nickels and another child has 14 nickels,...

Second graders create a fact family town to develop the understanding of numbers related in fact families. They learn each family has a big number and two baby numbers. They make triangle shaped houses for their facts.

In this using ten to add to seven, eight and nine worksheet, students, working with a partner, practice adding various numbers to the number ten for mastery.

Fifth graders explore common factors. In this factorization lesson, 5th graders discover the greatest common factor among two numbers in a game format. Students build on previous knowledge to determine the greatest common factor.
