Individuals learn how to plot rational numbers on the number line in the sixth instructional activity of a 21-part module. They identify appropriate units and determine opposites of rational numbers.

Practice, assess, or review mathematicians' skills with this integer worksheet addressing order of operations using positive and negative integers, and solving equations in which letters stand for numbers. 

Learners identify the critical points to a function. In this calculus instructional activity, students perform optimization of functions. They use the TI to create a visual of the graph.

Using visuals helps young mathematicians grasp concepts such as addition and subtraction. Here, they use just that to solve three scenarios. In the first scenario, three turtles leave a group of five, and learners determine how many...

Learners change mixed numbers into improper fractions, then divide to determine the quotients. There are 18 equations to solve on this assignment. An answer key can be printed for your grading purposes. Use this as an assessment.

Use this instructional activity with the Hands-On Equations kit of manipulatives. Learners find the value of x in 5 equations, then check their answers. A great addition to your math lesson!

Although not the best in terms of grammar, this addition word problem will work just fine as a guided warm-up. Because the explanation is at the bottom of the page, project this for the class, having learners do it independently, then...

The visual nature of this worksheet makes it ideal to project for an all-class warm up. Learners first complete two horizontal addition problems involving three-digit addends. Consider whether or not you will encourage them to rewrite...

Practice math vocabulary terms fewer, more, and data using this visual-object-analysis guide. Learners observe three sets of objects and answer three questions, two of which compare numbers of objects, and the last which...

This brief introduction to reading time on analog and digital clocks has learners examine two clock faces, one of each type. They determine the time (4:30 on the analog and 6:30 on the digital). An explanation on the bottom describes the...

It's warm-up time for your counters! Project this short worksheet, covering up the explanation as learners try to solve the number sequence. They are given the beginning and ending numbers (four and 10), but have to complete the middle....

Both The Ugly Duckling and The Tortoise and the Hare are great additions to an elementary language arts instructional activity. Young readers focus on the literary elements of each story, including characters and plot...

There are four irrational numbers that participants need to graph. Pi(π), -(½ x π), and √17 are easy to approximate with common rational numbers. On the other hand, the commentary describing the irrational number 2√2 is not...

Even if your kids aren't reading yet, they can become familiar with words by identifying two that are the same. Youngsters focus on the word same as they examine eight words and match them to their identical spellings....

Come take a ride on the space bus! Scholars go on an imaginary trip to pick up their peers from the inner and outer planets while reinforcing math skills. First, learners round decimals to identify each planets' distance from Earth....

Perfect pigs dance across this handout. On it, little learners choose two to color pink, and one to color purple. Two will remain uncolored. This is an appropriate exercise in color recognition and following directions.

Using division can be challenging for some young learners. However, these problems that are simple division without remainders, are designed to help your learners both conceptualize and visualize the problem before solving.
