The number of basic algebraic properties can become overwhelming for learners. A lesson explains and gives examples for all the basic algebraic properties. The resource is perfect to use as a way for pupils to organize and...

If you can multiply binomials, you can factor trinomials! This is the premise for a lesson on factoring. Pupils look for patterns in the binomials they multiply and apply them in reverse. Examples include leading coefficients of one...

Young mathematicians construct their own understanding of integers with an inquiry-based math lesson. Using colored chips to represent positive and negative numbers, children model a series of addition and subtraction problems as...

Did you know you can use a grid to solve triple-digit division, just like you can with multiplication? Present this helpful problem-solving strategy to give your class a good way to build proficiency in solving more complex division...

How do you operate with numbers in scientific notation? The resource provides examples on how to divide and multiply with numbers written in scientific notation. The handout and video also cover the procedure for addition and subtraction...

A cute square-headed robot is here to help your class understand doubling and halving. Numbers go in his head and come out his ear doubled. Those same number then go in his ear and come out his head halved. This is a great way to show...

Fifth and sixth graders multiply the given fractions and then write their answers in simplest form. They also solve two word problems involving multiplying fractions.

Build mental math skills by teaching learners to double and half three-digit numbers. They start out by doubling one of seven double-digit numbers. Next, they discuss their strategy, and then practice doubling and halving 3-digit...

Expand your knowledge of exponents with an activity that promotes critical thinking and comparison skills. Middle and high schoolers compare numbers written in expanded and exponential form and explain their strategies for solving...

Scholars determine how long it takes to build a birdhouse with the second activity on using equations with proportional relationships. The resource uses examples such as birdhouse building and produce prices to encourage pupils to write...

Building strong mental-math skills requires learners to have a strong number sense. They practice multiplying two and three-digit numbers in their heads using estimation or approximation. They estimate or round each number and then...

Build number sense and make learning multiples a simple task with this helpful presentation. The multiples of two, five, and ten are represented first as number patterns. Learners will be able to construct rules based on what they see....

Remember long division from fifth grade? Use the same algorithm to divide polynomials. Learners develop a strategy for dividing polynomials using what they remember from dividing whole numbers.

Use a tape diagram to emulate the steps of solving equations. The 23rd installment in a 25-part unit presents two-step linear equation problems to solve. Pupils use tape diagrams to solve the problems along with linear equations. To...

Two methods are always better than one! The eighth installment in this series asks pupils to convert decimals to fractions using two approaches. Individuals first use the more traditional approach of long division and then use reverse...

Join Zoe and Sam as they use proportions to budget money for their Green Earth Club. Watch as they set up and solve a series of proportions using cross multiplication and division. A great resource that brings together prior knowledge of...

In this multiplying worksheet, learners solve 24 multiplication problems. Half of the problems involve multiplying 10 times 2-4 digit numbers and the other half involve multiplying 100.

In this negative powers of ten worksheet, students multiply one-digit whole numbers by decimal numbers ranging from 1 to .0001. This two-page worksheet contains approximately 50 problems, with answers.

A challenging presentation helps learners practice strategies for multiplying when using decimals. There are lots of good tips regarding these type of calculations, and many good practice problems for pupils to engage in.

Factoring polynomials is an essential part of writing equivalent expressions and algebraic problem solving. Here is a card game that serves an engaging activity for reviewing factoring of polynomials.

In this 2-day lesson focused on exponents, middle schoolers will cross the curriculum by engaging in science, history and language arts activities. Exponential growth will be explored using grains of rice on a chess board. Exponential...

There's more to derivatives of multiplication than simply the product of the derivatives. A helpful video gives learners the product rule of finding the derivative of the product of two functions. Pupils find the derivatives of functions...

Learners play card games as a way to strengthen their math skills. In this math facts lesson, students play UNO multiplication, greater than and less then and multiplication war.
