Second graders count by 2's to get to 100. For this counting lesson plan, 2nd graders use the program Kid Pix to create stamps two at a time until they get to 100.

Third graders investigate the commutative properties of multiplication and focus upon the setting of cubes in the correct patterns to solve problems. They differentiate between numbers that have multiple factors and prime numbers....

Students complete patterns on a multiplication table. In this multiplication table lesson, students use partially completed multiplication tables to find the missing patterns to solve the table.

In this mathematics worksheet, 1st graders create a fact family that uses specific numbers given. Then they draw eight circles, add five more, and write the fact out in a problem.

Learners use the Frayer model during problem solving. In this problem solving instructional activity, they examine multiple methods of data collection to solve real world problems. Resources are provided.

Build a true understanding of division of polynomials. Learners use their knowledge of multiplying polynomials to create an algorithm to divide polynomials. The area model of multiplication becomes the reverse tabular method of division.

Paper folding, flu spreading in a school, bacteria growth, and continuously compounded interest all provide excellent models to study exponential functions. This is a comprehensive resource that looks at many different aspects of...

Middle schoolers investigate a numerical pattern and look for evidence of mathematical patterns in nature. They solve puzzles and work with a partner to predict sequential numbers in a series.

Help your class look for patterns as they create their own arithmetic and geometric sequences. Engage learners with an introductory discussion on sequences and use the applet to let them explore how sequences are formed. Teachers might...

Pupils view a video to discover how patterns in nature relate to math. They explore the concept of exponential growth by observing and creating fractals. They solve and design word problems.

Here are 17 various forms of problems that range from matching equivalent expressions to word problems. Included are problems for substutiing values into expressions and using the order of operations, simplifying algebraic expressions,...
