Who knew the sum of a number's digits gives such interesting information? The 18th installment of a 21-part module has scholars investigate division by three and nine. After looking at several examples, they develop divisibility tests...

Scholars learn how to write number theory proofs by viewing a video reviewing techniques for proofs on divisibility, parity, and consecutive integers. They then write proofs for a handful of conjectures on a worksheet.

Give the class a prime example of using prime numbers. After reviewing prime factorization of numbers with the video, pupils use their knowledge to determine greatest common factors and least common multiples in the worksheet. The...

This activity uses the division algorithm and the definition of a zero/root of a function to guide your class to see the relationship between zeros and factors of a general quadratic, which can later be generalized to the Remainder...

These four problems will guide your class through the idea behind the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, which states that a polynomial of degree n has exactly n roots. Use the division algorithm and the definition of a zero/root of a...

Second graders take a trip to the arcade in an activity that engages them in problem solving with money. Composed of three word problems, youngsters are instructed to determine various combinations to represent a given value by using...

Functions behaving badly: the squaring function and the absolute value function are both zero at x=0. Yet when you divide each by x, different things happen. Here, your class will explore each scenario as a means to adding depth to their...

How many birthdays do leap year babies have in a lifetime? Learners explore the question among others in a lesson focused on different calendar systems. Given explanations of the Julian, Gregorian, and Martian calendars, individuals use...

Is 4 plus the square root of 2 rational or irrational? After your class has gained a basic grasp of rational and irrational numbers, use this learning exercise to push them a little further in their understanding. Learners must identify...

Use Glencoe's randomly generated self-checking quiz to test your knowledge of divisibility patterns. Each question has a "Hint" link to help. Choose the correct answer for each problem. At the bottom of the page click the "Check It"...

This task examines the interesting fact that when a number is divisible by 9 then the sum of its digits is also divisible by 9. Aligns with 4.OA.C.5.
