Third graders make models of fractions and mixed numbers. Using fraction strips and drawing pictures, 3rd graders develop conceptual understanding of the equivalent forms. Students use the number line to represent and compare...

Students explore Cuisenaire Rods.  In this pre-algebra lesson, students work with a partner to generate addition problems with the sum of ten using Cuisenaire Rods. Students construct examples of the Commutative Property using...

Students use algebraic methods to represent and solve problems. Using a graphing calculator, students solve rational and inequality problems. They visually demonstrate solutions of functions through graphing. Students answer questions...

Young scholars recognize methods used to define the mole. After converting various quantities to the mole, students provide a context for understanding the usefulness of scientific notation and the mole.

Students complete activities to study the concept of place value notation. In this place value lesson, students use cards for the days of the month that only number from 1 to 9. Students find a subtraction pattern to determine the amount...

Students work with dominoes to recognize the number of spots on each side as they relate to addition facts. In this seeing doubles activity, students make triangle shaped flash cards for the double facts. Students represent the correct...

Young scholars participate in activities using compass settings. They find north and notate the bearings of objects that have been set up in the school yard. They find marks that both visible and hidden behind and under things like...

Your learners combine their knowledge of real and imaginary numbers and matrices in an activity containing thirty lessons, two assessments (mid-module and end module), and their corresponding rubrics. Centered on complex numbers and...

Graphing doesn't need to be tedious!  When pupils understand key features and transformations, graphing becomes efficient. This instructional activity connects transformations to the vertex form of a quadratic equation. 

Corresponding parts, congruent parts, congruent corresponding parts—what does it all mean? The resource challenges pupils to identify corresponding parts for pairs of figures. It uses examples of figures that undergo rigid...

Prove that an equation in slope-intercept form names only one line. At the beginning, the teacher leads the class through a proof that there is only one line passing through a given point with a given slope using contradiction. The 19th...

Sixth graders explore the concept of order of operations. In this order of operations instructional activity, 6th graders view a powerpoint about order of operations in society. Students post on a blog about order of operations.

Demonstrate the meaning of an absolute inequality using three different methods. Here, scholars explore absolute value inequalities through graphing, number line distance, and compound inequalities. Pupils complete various activities to...

Learners find out the meaning for prefixes used in math vocabulary. By dissecting words used in everyday math, they figure out what the prefix indicates and what the word means. A variety of well-organized worksheets and activities...

Don't circle around the topic, but get right to the center with tons of practice regarding circles in geometry. The note-incorporated learning exercise provides guided practice through many topics such as central angles, inscribed...

The sky's the limit of what you create when combining functions! The module begins with a review of transformations of parent functions and then moves to combining different function types using addition, subtraction, and...

The language and features of functions get careful treatment in a complex but doable lesson. Learners get a lot of practice really figuring out what a graph means in context, and also identifying key features of graphs. Key ideas...

It's probably a good idea to use the unit. Young mathematicians learn about conditional probability using Venn diagrams, tree diagrams, and two-way tables. They also take into consideration independence and the addition rules.

Ready to study inequalities with your class? Use this activity to solve multi-step inequalities and graph the solutions. The document would be great to use as a study guide as you present the material, or could easily be modified and...

Build a solid understanding of logarithmic functions and equations. Five lessons in the module begin by developing the concept of a logarithm. The next lessons address graphing logarithmic functions, logarithmic properties, and solving...

Pupils analyze a pattern of conference tables to determine the number of tables needed and the number of people that can be seated for a given size. Individuals develop general formulas for the two growing number patterns and...

This short probability question may look simple at first, but it is actually quite complex! Learners must understand independent events in context and must take into account several different scenarios. Use as an individual assignment...

Working independently or in teams, your class practices connecting graphs, formulas and words. This lesson includes a guided discussion about distance vs. time graphs and looking at how velocity changes over time.  

A short, multiple choice assessment that determines your 3rd graders' ability to correctly compare fractions with like denominators. This quiz asks learners to compare two fractions using words, the greater than/less than symbols, and...
