Young scholars explore modes for addition.  In this K-2 mathematics lesson, students investigate the four models of addition (counting, sets, number line, and balanced equations) using dominoes.  Young scholars examine the...

In this integers worksheet, students use integer lines to add the positive and negative numbers. They can show the answers online.

How do you know if a number is divisible? Instructors first prove the divisibility rules for three and four and then class members use this modeling to prove given divisibility rules for eight and nine either individually or in...

Perform operations to add, subtract, multiply and divide matrices. Then solve problems with vectors using matrices. A three day lesson: Matrix Madness, Mystical Matrices, and Decode the Encode. The last lesson has prizes that the class...

In this identifying numbers that total fifty instructional activity, learners use an addend and the sum fifty to write the missing number. Students solve 41 problems.

Students use logical arguments and inductive reasoning to make or disprove conjectures. After observing a teacher led demonstration, students discover that the deductive process narrows facts to a few possible conclusions. In groups,...

Elementary schoolers solve practice problems on the board and are shown how to line up the numbers for addition. They solve various addition problems in small groups. Everyone continues the same process for solving subtraction problems.

Here is a math instructional activity which has learners practice multiplying two and three digit numbers by one digit numbers. They discuss multiplication strategies and use those strategies to play a game.

Students explore the concepts of length, perimeter, and area. In this math lesson plan, students use Shape Explorer to practice finding length, perimeter, and area.

Turn young scholars into detectives as they decipher encrypted messages.  Introduce your class to modular arithmetic and have a little fun encrypting and decoding secret messages. The activity does not hit many content standards,...

Seventh graders solve 10 different problems that take multiple steps to solve. First, they combine like terms if necessary. Pupils isolate the terms that contain the variable they want to solve. In addition, they substitute their answer...
