There's just something special about lines in algebra. Introduce your classes to linear equations by analyzing the linear relationship. Young mathematicians use input/output pairs to determine the slope and the slope-intercept formula to...

Inquiry-based learning and investigations form the basis of a deep understanding of quadratic functions in a very thorough unit plan.  Learners develop recursive and closed methods for representing real-life situations,...

Math's gone viral—in the form of an exponential function! The activity uses an exponential function to model the growth of a marketing strategy. Learners create a table of values to observe the pattern in the numbers and then model the...

The magic number is six! Using a 6x table, young math stars practice adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing two-digit numbers with the number six. This worksheet also touches on making tessellations with hexagons. 

Geometric series either get bigger or approach a single number. So, how do you know which it is? An interactive presents three different geometric series with varying common ratios. With the aid of patterns, pupils determine values of r...

One ratio to rule them all. Young mathematicians investigate the Fibonacci sequence and the Golden Ratio. To begin the first lesson, they use a spreadsheet to see how the Fibonacci sequence gives the Golden Ratio. The second lesson...

Your learners connect the new concepts of transformations in the coordinate plane to their previous knowledge using the solid vocabulary development in this unit. Like a foreign language, mathematics has its own set of vocabulary terms...

Math partners help each other with number sequences in this interactive game. Young scholars arrange number cards in order, and Partner A closes his eyes. Partner B removes one card, after which Partner A must determine which card has...

In this arithmetic sequences instructional activity, students solve 45 short answer, multiple choice, and graphing problems. Students find the nth term of an arithmetic sequence. Students solve systems of equations using elimination....

Fifth graders, after discussing the teacher's handout examples, practice writing five story problems about mammals using relevant/irrelevant information. As a class, they solve the story problems while identifying the key concepts that...

In this calculus worksheet, students answer 13 short-answer problems regarding number sequences, limits, convergence, divergence, polynomials and functions.

Turn your math lesson into a carnival game with this fun, outdoor activity. After reviewing the concept your class will be practicing briefly, split your class up into teams and head outdoors. These teams work to solve math questions and...

The coordinate plane is a popular place! Identify rotations, reflections, and dilations on the coordinate plane. Pupils work in small groups to match transformations of a figure with the description of the transformation....

In this online number sequences activity, students work out the answers to eight comprehensive exercises with thirty-eight calculations involving a variety of sequences. Students answers are automatically graded online as they go and...

Fourth graders are introduced to arithmetic and geometric sequences. In this mathematics lesson plan, 4th graders produce a variety of sequences by varying the starting number, multiplier, and the add-on number.

In this practice with sequences worksheet, students find the arithmetic sequence and geometric sequence of given problems.  They determine the percent of change and solve exponent problems.  This one-page worksheet contains 11...

In this sigma notation and series worksheet, 11th graders identify and complete 10 different problems that include determining the sigma notation and series of each problem. First, they determine the sequence in each given a set of...

Having a good working knowledge of math vocabulary is so important for learners as they progress through different levels of mathematical learning. Here is 125 pages worth of wonderfully constructed vocabulary and concept review cards....

In this online patterns learning exercise, students complete a variety of on line exercises including distinguishing between even and odd numbers, finding the missing numbers in sequences and solving eight number equations. Students...

For this online math problems worksheet, students complete a variety of assignments including the concepts number sequences, shapes and grids, number calculations and substituting whole numbers for letters in equations. Students complete...

In this sequencing worksheet, students make a number sequence chart by following the given rule, continue number sequences through seven additional numbers, and continue patterns. Students solve five multiple answer problems.

Your algebra learners interpret algebraic expressions, in order to compare their structures, using a geometric context. They also discern how the two expressions are equivalent and represent a pattern geometrically and algebraically.

It is a-maze-ing how lost one can get. Teams reconstruct a simple maze and solve it. Participants create an algorithm that a robot would follow in order to solve the maze as well. The activity includes an extension directing pupils to...

How do we determine how much information to include and what can be left out? By playing a game of 20 questions, the class generates the best strategies for finding a number. They then move on to guessing the next letter in a short...
