Rational expressions are just fancy fractions! Pupils apply fractions concepts to rational expressions. They find equivalent expressions by simplifying rational expressions using factoring. They include limits to the domain of the...

Scholars model the height of water in a container with an exponential function and apply average rates of change to this function. The main attraction of the lesson plan is the discovery of Euler's number. 

Learn how to increase the probability of success. The 19th installment of a 21-part module teaches future mathematicians how to use probability to analyze decisions. They determine strategies to maximize the chances of a desired outcome.

Polygons — it's all about the angles. Groups work with dynamic geometry software to find the sum of the measures of the angles of various polygons. After finding the information for several polygons, the groups generate a formula that...

Right triangles are so special! Use special right triangles to discover the trigonometric ratios. Pairs construct special right triangles and find the values of the ratios of the sides. In the process, they discover the ratios stay the...

Your algebra learners emphasize the"geometric" in geometric series as they use a common ratio between algebraic terms and find that it corresponds to a repeated similarity transformation. 

Young geometers flex their transformation muscles in this brief but powerful exercise using dilations and translations to develop the similarity of circles. The plan provides guidelines to help learners navigate a pair of...

While it may seem incredibly obvious to the geometry student that congruent sides make congruent triangles, the proving of this by definition actually takes a bit of work. This exercise steps the class through this kind of proof by...

Construct yourself a winning geometry unit. A set of lessons introduces geometry scholars to constructions and proofs with compasses and straightedges. It also covers triangle congruence through transformations. This is the second of...

In this math worksheet, students complete the mixed fractions that are sorted into a sequence. The sheet is intended as a teacher's guide.

In this math worksheet, students solve the problems that are intended to focus upon he sequences of decimals. The sheet is a teacher's guide.

Young scholars investigate the concepts related to the practice of multiplication facts. They look for number patterns in order to create an algorithm in order to find the correct sequencing of number patterning. The solutions are then...

For this Thanksgiving activity worksheet, students make a large graph showing whether they would like to travel by plane, train or car. They discuss holiday travel and sing an associated song.

Students discover and predict patterns in a numerical sequence. Through the Internet and video segments, students begin with basic number patterns and extend their knowledge into higher math skills. They will also create new patterns...

Students recognize patterns in a numerical sequence, create new patterns and predict outcomes to established sequences.

Students use the Hickory Dickory Dock nursery rhyme to learn about rhyme, telling time, and preposition use. In this nursery rhyme lesson, students read the nursery rhyme daily and complete a Mother Goose quiz. Students sequence the...

In this writing instructions worksheet, students rearrange 10 instructions for making tea, so they are in the correct sequence. Students choose a game or activity and write their own instructions to see if a friend can follow them.

Students review the concept of the hour. In this time lesson, students understand how the hour hand works. Students have another clock which also shows the minute hand. Students recognize the position of the minute hand.

Students review the days of the week and see if the students can recite he sequence using different starting days. Students retell the problem using their own words to check that everyone examines.

Students collect car cost comparison data from the "Car Wizard" web site to use as problem solving and for calculations related to math.

Students study ordinal positions through class reading and discussion, complete an Animal Parade activity sheet and Internet activity to demonstrate knowledge about ordinal positions with 100% accuracy, and play a math computer game.

Fifth graders review adding, subtracting, multiplication and division of fractions and decimals through a variety of activities and exercises.

Students recall number words in sequence and correctly associate them with a specific set of objects (rational counting). They play a game such as Race to Twenty.

Once upon a time are four words most children are familiar with when reading a fairy tale. But do they know that fairy tales are a great way to learn the literary elements of reading and writing? Use a thorough fairy tale unit...
