Have you been to Torbury Fair? In the set of four lessons, learners solve a myriad of problems related to a music festival, including situations involving floods, market stalls, cows, and emergency plans. 

Sometimes, equality just doesn't happen. Scholars apply their knowledge of solving equations to identify values that satisfy inequalities in the 34th installment of a 36-part module. They test given sets of numbers to find those that are...

Two-variable equations can express a constant rate situation. The lesson presents several constant rate problems. Pupils use the stated constant rate to create a linear equation, find values in a table, and graph the points. The resource...

Unlock the keys to fluent multiplication with this upper-elementary math lesson. After an introduction to the five properties of multiplication, students match cards with different math problems to posters describing each...

Find the pattern is the name of the game! Learners examine different patterns represented by numbers, shapes, and words. They must describe the pattern, predict the result in a given position, and find an equation that...

Wait, let's start over — teach your class how to return to the beginning. The first activity looking at inverse matrices introduces the concept of being able to undo a matrix transformation. Learners work with matrices with a determinant...

Finding the area of a rectangle is the focus of this metric activity. Here, mathematicians use their knowledge of finding the area of a shape in meters to discover how much material can fit inside a shape.

Making a clear connection to algebra concepts helps learners understand the definition of a derivative. The lesson plan begins with looking at limits of simple linear and rational functions, and leads to the definition of...

Show budding mathematicans how to find the sine of pi over 12. The third instructional activity in a series of 16 introduces the addition and subtraction formulas for trigonometric functions. Class members derive the formulas using...

How do letters and numbers create a picture? Scholars learn to create input/output tables to graph functions. They graph both linear and nonlinear functions by creating tables and plotting points. 

By splitting a rectangle into equal parts, scholars can see area as well as calculate it. First, they determine the area of a rectangle given its side lengths. Then, they use the space provided to segment it into four equal parts,...

Multiply the ways your scholars can find the quotient with polynomial division. A lesson introduces polynomial division via long division, synthetic division, generic area model, and using the definition of division. Learners then...

What is absolute value? What is an absolute value function? Emerging mathematicians solve equations containing variables inside an absolute value sign.  They graph each function on a coordinate plane and identify the maximum and...

A decimal is just a fraction in disguise! Scholars learn methods for converting decimals and fractions including repeating decimals. Performing the conversions strengthens their understanding of the relationship between the two forms....

The inverse of matter is anti-matter, so the inverse of a derivative is an antiderivative. The lesson introduces antiderivatives and indefinite integrals to the class along with the notation for integrals. Groups work together to find...

In this composite figures worksheet, students solve twelve short answer problems. Students find the area of figures composed of various polygons given a sketch of the figure with side lengths labeled.

In this solving addition word problems learning exercise, learners use secret code cards and counters to problem solve. Students solve six problems.

In this addition and subtraction facts worksheet, students use problem solving skills to solve 6 word problems that require them to add or subtract.

In this addition and subtraction instructional activity, students use problem solving skills to write number sentences and solve 6 word problems that require them to add and subtract.

For this dividing by fractions practice worksheet, learners sharpen their problem solving skills as they solve 6 story problems.

In this problem-solving skills worksheet, students learn how to determine whether or not an estimate is enough when solving a problem. They then use this skill to solve the 2 questions at the bottom of the page.

In this fractions worksheet, students solve 6 story problems. Students will need to change fractions have common denominators before comparing them.

Create your own adventure story ... well, not really. The fifth instructional activity in a 21-part series has pairs create story contexts for division problems. The instructional activity presents a step-by-step process for pupils to...

Welcome to the backward world of negative numbers. This introductory lesson teaches young mathematicians that negative numbers are simply the opposite of positive numbers as they use number lines to plot and compare...
