Kindergarteners explore numbers, counting, and one-to-one correspondence. Through demonstrations and hands on activities using math manipulatives, they discover several number concepts as well as practice counting throught rote...

Number patterns help your kids learn divisibility and estimation rules. This activity aims to strengthen their math fact memorization skills by presenting several rules they are expected to memorize through practice.

Starting with similar triangles and dilation factors, this unit quickly and thoroughly progresses into the world of right triangle features and trigonometric relationships. Presented in easy-to-attack modules with copious application...

Triangle centers and the segments that create them easily become an exercise in memorization, without the help of engaging applications like this lesson. Here the class investigates the measure of center that is equidistant to the three...

Some differentiation rules are just better to memorize. The ninth lesson in a unit of 11 presents the quotient rule to pupils for them to memorize. Learners use the quotient rule to determine the derivative of two quotients after seeing...

Continue to differentiate the rest of the trigonometric functions. Pupils see the derivatives of the other four trigonometric functions and begin to memorize the rules. Learners see examples that show that the calculus portion of a...

A thorough presentation is chock full of great tips on how to develop mental math skills, add decimals, and reinforce the memorization of multiplication facts. Learners solve a variety of problems, while getting tips along the way. An...

Here is a presentation that's chock full of great tips on how to memorize multiplication facts, and how to calculate the area of shapes that aren't perfect squares or rectangles. Many good problems are in each of the slides. A great...

Elementary math minds complete various activities to memorize the multiples of nine. They watch a PowerPoint presentation and demonstrate the finger trick. Unfortunately the link to the multiplication activities does not take you...

This presentation is designed to help learners nail down their multiplication facts. This one focuses on the 6, 7, and 8 times tables. On each of the slides, a multiplication problem appears. Students must say the answer aloud, then...

Learning tools are invaluable. Teach your Autistic or special needs pupils how to multiply by 7s and 8s. They will use the circles to match the correct answer to the correct single-digit equation. Great for reinforcing multiplication...

It's all about time as scholars focus on years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, and seconds to practice these concepts. First they put all 12 months back in order, numbering them 1st, 2nd, etc. Two are done for them. Next, there are...

Here is an approach to calculating percent with 16 practice problems to solidify the skill. Two examples demonstrate dividing by 100 to get one percent and then multiplying by the percentage in question to get the solution. Learners find...

Bring this easy shortcut to your first grade addition lesson!  By adding doubles (6+6, for example), and then adding or subtracting 1, kids learn how to solve simple addition problems with ease. This trick is especially helpful for...

Guide your kindergartners to create memorable, colorful number lines that they will use throughout the school year. Using sentence strip and a black marker or card stock printed in a teachers font, create traceable numbers from 1 to 20...

Learning two-digit addition isn't about memorizing steps, it's about understanding place value. Support the development of your class's number sense with these addition mats that help children break apart two-digit numbers into tens and...

Proving triangles are similar is often an exercise in applying one of the many theorems young geometers memorize, like the AA similarity criteria. But proving that the criteria themselves are valid from basic principles is a great...

The topic of trigonometric ratios is often covered with loads of rote memorization baked into the activity. This activity set, however, leans more on using similar triangles and discovery learning to help young geometers develop a deeper...

Your AP Calculus learners probably have their ID numbers memorized, but have they tried graphing them? Pique your pupils' interest by asking each to create a unique polynomial function based on their ID numbers, and then analyze the...

Can you justify that mathematically?  Help learners see the process of solving as using mathematical properties rather than a set of steps to memorize in the fourth module of a nine-part Algebra I series. The module contains six...

Reverse any loss of knowledge on inverse functions. Individuals watch a video to learn about differentiating inverse functions. They memorize the rule, then see how to apply it in finding derivatives and determining equations of tangent...

Don't get lost trying to memorize all those derivative rules. Scholars review the different methods at their disposal to determine derivatives from Units 2 and 3. They fill out a graphic organizer and then complete a set of practice...

This assessment pair goes way beyond simple graphing, factoring and solving polynomial equations, really forcing learners to investigate the math ideas behind the calculations. Short and to-the-point questions build on one another,...

Looking for higher-level thinking questions? This assessment provides questions that challenge young mathematicians to think and analyze rather than simply memorize. Topics include piecewise functions, linear modeling, exponential...
