Develop multiplication skills with your class. Youngsters will visualize multiplication as repeated addition. Then they will create a multiplication bug book and discover arrays as a strategy for multiplication problem solving....

Use the 20 Questions game to practice math vocabulary and number properties! Project a hundreds chart and hand one out to learners. Ideally, give them counters (beans would work well) to mark off the chart so you can play multiple times....

Math novices examine how math can help them in real-world situations. They listen to the book The Math Curse by Jon Scieszka, solve various word problems from the book, explore various math websites, write original math word problems,...

Sixth graders examine mathematical problems that deal with he division of fractions. Sticky notes are used to model the process.

First graders explore the zero property of addition and subtraction through the creation of a class book. Includes an assessment sheet.

Step 1: Use the resource. Step 2: Watch your class become experts in solving two-step problems. Scholars learn to solve two-step word problems in context. They use tape diagrams and algebraic techniques to break the problem into two,...

What does solving an inequality have in common with solving an equation? Almost everything! A math resource focuses on the one exception. The examples lead learners through the steps of solving an equality when multiplying or...

Fibonacci numbers are not only found in the classroom but also in nature. Explore the concept of Fibonacci numbers through a series of lessons designed to gain insight into the mathematical reasoning behind the number pattern, and spark...

Pupils develop expressions to describe the total number of sides on an unknown number of rectangles and triangles. Expressions contain multiplication, addition, and parentheses.

Show your class how people calculated complex math problems in the old days. Scholars take a trip back to the days without calculators in the 15th installment of a 35-part module. They use logarithms to determine products of numbers and...

What is the net effect when two waves interfere with each other? The lesson plan answers this question by helping the class visualize waves through graphing. Pupils graph individual waves and determine the effect of the interference...

Eighth graders use the order of operation correctly. In this algebra lesson plan, 8th graders solve integers using the order of operation. They apply the commutative as well as the associate property to solve problems correctly.

I can multiply, so why can't I add these radicals? Mathematicians use the distributive property to explain addition of radical expressions. As they learn how to add radicals, they then apply that concept to find the perimeter of...

Geometric design makes a fashion statement! Challenge learners to design a hat to fit a Styrofoam model. Specifications are clear and pupils use concepts related to three-dimensional objects including volume of irregular shapes and...

Students discover how flight is possible.  In this physics lesson, students investigate the properties of a blimp and gyro-copter, comparing rotating wings and fixed wings of aircraft.  Students create their own model aircraft...

Students practice mental addition and use the associative and commutative properties of addition to solve problems.

First graders investigate the Commutative Property of Addition. It is introduced using models such as students, counters, balances and dominoes. They discover the order of the numbers in an addition sentence does not change the result...

For this math worksheet, students solve five problems, identifying each property as it is used. They identify the used property in 9 problems.

Fourth graders practice a wide range of strategies for solving addition and subtraction problems containing decimal fractions. They add and subtract fractions, decimals and integers while generalizing the properties of operations with...

Students apply the properties of a right triangle. In this triangle lesson, students describe and compare radians to degrees. They solve problems using the properties and ratios of a right triangle.

Don't cover up this resource — use it out in the open! Pupils learn how to cover up various parts of a linear equation in order to help solve the equation. A worksheet of problems provides practice with this skill.

Do properties of equations hold true for inequalities? Teach solving inequalities through the theme of properties. Your class discovers that the multiplication property of equality doesn't hold true for inequalities when multiplying by a...

Use the handout as guided or independent practice in drawing a reflection of a rectangle over a line. Three rectangles are provided for practice in addition to a critical thinking question.

Third graders practice counting and multiplying by three. In this multiplication lesson plan, 3rd graders review the pattern of multiples of two and are shown the additive property of 3's. Students practice using a number chart to...
