Efficiently Adding Integers and Other Rational Numbers
Develop the rules for adding rational numbers. Pupils continue to work on adding integers. Young mathematicians use their experiences to develop the rules for adding integers with like and unlike signs. They finish the lesson plan by...
Curated OER
Comparing Fractions
Young mathematicians compare two fractions with like denominators and then move to the next level to compare fractions with unlike denominators. They will first try to use mental math to make educated guesses. There are a few guidelines...
Texas Instruments
Finding Linear Models Part III
Explore linear functions! In this Algebra I lesson, mathematicians graph data in a scatter plot and use a graphing calculator to find a linear regression and/or a median-median line. They use the model to make predictions.
