Solving word problems requires reading comprehension and math computation. Through an interactive slideshow presentation, fourth graders observe and follow each step toward solve multiplication and division word problems. 

Pupils use the problem solving strategy of guess and check to investigate math word problems. They determine which problem solving strategy or strategies would work best in problem situations.

A thorough exploration into subtracting multi-digit numbers, this series of lessons is an excellent way to guide learners of any skill level. With a step-by-step lesson plan and straightforward assessment tools, kids are sure to...

In this recursion activity, students determine the successive approximations of square roots by using the Babylonian Algorithm. They discuss how to derive Newton's Method from the microscopic approximation. This four-page activity...

Students examine a problem and develop the best method to arrive at the solution. In this math lesson, students apply basic math skills by coming up with the correct steps to solve a word problem. ...

Young scholars explore inequalities. In this Algebra I lesson, students solve and graph linear inequalities involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division.  Young scholars use inequalities to solve and graph real-world...

In this population worksheet, students read word problems relating to population growth. They write the problem as a differential equation, create models and graphs of the solution. This three-page worksheet contains 10 multi-step...

This printable contains 12 basic equations to be solved. The first one is worked out as an example, and the answers for all can be found by clicking on a "Show Answers" box found on the website. The publisher has identified this as...

Students investigate the differences when using decimals, fractions, and percents. They focus on the process of using them in real problems and how to convert them from one form to another.

Fractions, decimals, and percents all say the same thing! Show your classes how to convert between the three forms using visual and numeric representations. Then lead them to an understanding of scientific notation.

Compute fuel economy and gas mileage. Why? So you can teach rates and ratios, of course! Middle schoolers calculate the rate of miles per gallon for various vehicles. They research each vehicle, its mileage per gallon, and cost per...

Scholars identify and continue the numerical pattern for the number of wheels on a train. Using the established pattern and its inverse, they determine whether a number of wheels is possible. Pupils finish...

Eighth graders investigate the Pythagorean Theorem and practice applying the theorem to various triangles. Finally, in the next lesson plan in the sequence, 8th graders create a song or a story to help them remember the Pythagorean Theorem.

Use estimation to solve multi-step word problems involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.
