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,...

Young mathematicians discover trees organize more than just families — they help factor, too. The lesson begins with factor trees and develops slowly to factoring by grouping and special patterns. 

Aim high with a task on window washers. An assessment task challenges learners to determine the number of windows two people wash. They do this using a given number of window rows on each side of a building. In addition, they find the...

You are used to teaching repeating decimals with bar notation that keeps us from writing that number over and over again; now teach what the over and over again represents. This activity allows your mathematicians to explore the infinite...

A helpful math worksheet, intended as a guided lesson, walks young mathematicians through the process of converting the decimal 0.75 to a fraction and percent.

Come take a ride on the space bus! Scholars go on an imaginary trip to pick up their peers from the inner and outer planets while reinforcing math skills. First, learners round decimals to identify each planets' distance from Earth....

 Young mathematicians respond to a series of comprehension questions after reading an article about simplifying fractions.

Build an understanding of factors and use it to write the prime factorization of numbers. After exploring key vocabulary, learners create prime factorization for given numbers. They then use the prime factorizations to determine the...

As this slide show explains, simplifying a fraction is very similar to finding an equivalent fraction. The process to simplify fractions is fully demonstrated and clearly explained, 15 practice problems are included.

For this functions worksheet, students solve 70 short answer questions. Students find domain of functions and evaluate them for a given value. Students determine if a mapping diagram represents a function.

In this algebra worksheet, learners solve rational equations including two application problems. This worksheet contains explanations to aid in understanding. 

After examining a short article on fractions and decimals, readers draw information for the text to respond to a series of reading comprehension questions.

Your statisticians will see that an expression is made up of one or more parts that can be seen as a single entity. Learners give an explanation, in terms of the structure. of the expression and, why it halves in value when n is quadrupled.

Take young mathematicians' understanding of percents into the real world with this series of word problems. Involving a variety of contexts from calculating scores on math tests and savings account interest, to determining sale prices...

With so many math standards to fit into a school year, it can be difficult keeping track of what you have and have not covered. This collection of Common Core checklists allows you to maintain a running record of when each...

What connection does the quadratic formula have with a quadratic equation? Using a matching activity, pupils construct the algebraic derivation of the quadratic formula in this Algebra II lesson task. The task provides two variations of...

Now there are parentheses in these equations? As the lessons continue in this series, equations get progressively more complex. Eighth graders solve equations by applying the distributive property before using inverse operations. 

A one-stop resource for exponents, square and cube roots, scientific notation, and volume formulas guides learners through properties of exponents. As they learn to apply these properties to operations with scientific notation,...

What do fractions and rational expressions have in common? Everything! Learners use common denominators to solve rational equations. Problems advance from simple to more complex, allowing pupils to fully understand the material before...

Students solve problems using PEMDAS. In this algebraic equations lesson, students evaluate expressions using real number properties. They play "Math Jeopardy" to reinforce the order of operations.

I think most of us adults could use a tip or two on how to budget our personal finances. Pass on some valuable knowledge to your pupils as they move into the real world. The presentation provides three easy steps to creating a personal...

There's a trick to solving the area of a triangle, and it involves a skill your geometers have already mastered. Help them discover the connection between finding a rectangle's area and finding a right triangle's area as they solve for...

It's the classic please excuse my dear aunt sally strategy to remembering the order of operations. Young mathematicians practice to develop an understanding of the order of operations. Examples and practice problems include...

Scholars first learn to solve two-step equations with fractional coefficients and constants by traditional methods and by clearing the denominator. They continue by learning another approach to solve two-step equations that have decimal...
