Sixth graders create polygons. In this shapes lesson, 6th graders explore prefixes such as oct, tri, quad, pent, etc. and share their findings. Students use pattern blocks to create two different polygons and label them.

Students investigate modular clock arithmetic and cryptography. They perform basic operations in modular (clock) arithmetic and encode and decode messages using simple shift and affine ciphers.

Fourth graders develop strategies for identifying geometric and number patterns. For this mathematical patterns lesson, 4th graders use pattern blocks to make repeating patterns with numbers and shapes. Students then explore number...

Students calculate acceleration due to gravity.

Students create visuals on the TI Calculator to solve problems. In this algebra lesson, students perform basic operations with integers. They add, subtract, multiply and divide.

Young scholars establish a strategy for adding simple fractions. They convert improper fractions to mixed numbers and interpret drawings and storyboards.

In this multiplication and division worksheet, students practice multiplying and dividing whole numbers with different pictures to illustrate their problems. Students complete 29 problems.

Learners practice using the FOIL acronym as a procedure for multiplying two binomial expressions. FOIL occurs by multiplying the First terms, Outside terms, Inside terms and Last terms.

Sixth graders work through a two-step equation with their teacher. After reviewing one-step equations, they complete a worksheet using tiles and colored pencils to complete two-step equations. To end the lesson plan, they write out the...

Learners graph integers on a number line. In this integers lesson plan, students create a colored foldable to assist them with notetaking and problem solving.  Learners complete exercises from text.

Students observe and demonstrate the step-by-step process for solving one-step equations. They view a teacher-created PowerPoint presentation, solve one-step equations, and in small groups create a PowerPoint presentation.

Students research the history and uses of the different elements in the periodic table. In this chemistry lesson plan, students explain the significance of an element's valence electrons. They create a multimedia presentation of an...

Students review the standards for Algebra I. Using the text, they discover two problems that match each standard and solve them showing all steps on paper. They create a PowerPoint slide for each problem and go through the correct...

In this lesson on adding and subtracting, young scholars will learn to idenitfy and apply the commutative and associative properties of addition while utilizing their knowledge of fact families to correctly solve problems.

Learners review the properties of addition and write an example for each. Then they apply the properties to simplify numerical expressions.

Sixth graders will create a properties foldable as a study tool.

During this lesson plan learners will listen to the story FISH EYES: A BOOK YOU CAN COUNT ON by Lois Ehlert and use concrete objects to explore the commutative property of addition. During this lesson plan students will be guided through...

The purpose of this task is to study some patterns in a small addition table. Aligns with CCSS.Math.Content.3.OA.D.9 Identify arithmetic patterns, and explain them using properties of operations.

Children need to understand why the mathematical properties work and how they are applied. In this lesson, we explore modeling and "proving" the associative property.

Students will be able to independently practice graphing, teen numbers, and addition.

By now, students have learned that fact families include both addition and subtraction facts. They have also learned that by reversing the order of the addends, they can form related addition facts with the same sum. The students will...

Sixth graders work with the concept of equality and balance to solve one and two-step algebraic equations.

In this task, students investigate why total solar eclipses are rare. They will learn that, in addition to requiring the positioning of the Sun, Moon, and Earth, the Moon can only completely block out the Sun when it is closest to the...
