Just one step is all you need to find success in solving equations. The 27th installment in a series of 36 teaches how to solve one-step equations involving addition and subtraction. Tape diagrams help future mathematicians in this task.

Fourth graders practice a wide range of strategies for solving addition and subtraction problems containing decimal fractions. They add and subtract fractions, decimals and integers while generalizing the properties of operations with...

In this math worksheet, students learn how to find the perimeter of a polygon. Students read the information and answer 6 questions in which the perimeter of figures is calculated.

Twelfth graders explore the basic principles of the US free enterprise system. They examine the basic principles of the US free enterprise system including profit motive, voluntary exchange, private property rights, and competition.

Fourth graders participate in a math game that involves practicing their equivalent fraction skills in the advanced multiplication stage seven. They assess their ability skills of equivalent fractions to match twenty seven dominoes on...

Students create three dimensional shapes using concept maps. In this geometry lesson, students investigate the impact of mental schemas on humans. They collect data on this topic and plot their data on a coordinate plane.

Scholars view the video, "Donald Duck in Mathmagic Land," and discuss examples in nature which have proportions of the golden ratio. They measure and record different body lengths from a worksheet and convert the ratios to equivalent...

Youngsters sort M & M's by color. They graph the M&M's by color on a graph. This classic lesson is a wonderful way to introduce the concept and technique of graphing to young mathematicians. Pairs of kids can make up their own...
