You can't see patterns in a jumble of numbers ... so organize them! Learners take a set of data and use a line plot to organize the numbers. From the line plot, they find minimum, maximum, mean, and make other conclusions about the...

Your birthday can be more than just about presents; it can even teach about absolute value. The class investigates absolute value as the distance from zero on a number line. Plotting birth months and comparing each birth month to July...

At times special needs or Autistic children have a difficult time disengaging from a lesson to line up at the door. This brief strategy overview employs mini-porcupine balls and a pocket. It was developed to help pupils...

Using the subscriber website Explorelearning.com, young mathematicians observe changes in the slope and y-intercept and their effect on the graph of lines. This activity helps middle schoolers develop an intuitive sense of the connection...

Your Geometry learners will collaboratively prove that the tangent line of a circle is perpendicular to the radius of the circle. A deliberately sparse introduction allows for a variety of approaches to find a solution. 

Investigate the relationship between irrational roots and a number line with a resource that asks learners to put together a number line using radical intervals rather than integers. A great progression, they build on their understanding...

Can you support the argument that the decimal 0.99999 ... is equivalent to the number one? The seventh installment in this 25-part module gives convincing support for this conclusion. Pupils write infinite decimals using powers of 10....

Is there a better way to display data to analyze it? Pupils represent data in a variety of ways using number lines, coordinate graphs, and tables. They determine that certain displays work with different types of data and use...

What does translating points on a number line have to do with solving inequalities? Young mathematicians first learn about translations of points on a number line, and then use this information to solve linear inequalities in one variable.

In this writing equations worksheet, students find the equation of a line containing specified points. They determine the slope of a line from given points. This two-page worksheet contains 20 problems. Examples and explanations are...

Your young graphers are motivated by watching three Cyberchase videos to plot points in all four quadrants, connect pairs of points to make a line segment, and find the point of intersection of two lines.

Demonstrate the meaning of an absolute inequality using three different methods. Here, scholars explore absolute value inequalities through graphing, number line distance, and compound inequalities. Pupils complete various activities to...

Develop your pupils' understanding of fractions and their decimal equivalence using the 12th lesson in this series. Scholars learn an alternative to long division that results in converting fractions to decimals that emphasize fractional...

Young mathematicians review what they have previously learned about coordinates and straight line graphs. Then, they access an interactive component within the instructional activity to gain more practice with this skill. Additionally,...

Mr. Monkey is your math host today, and he is here to help your class subtract from 10. They can count back as a number line is used to demonstrate subtraction from 10. Each problem includes Mr. Monkey, an equation, and the number line...

This long division PowerPoint provides students with an overview of how to solve long division problems with a zero in the dividend. There are clearly stated steps in this PowerPoint, as well as an acronym to help students remember the...

Many problems in life have more than one possible solution, and the same is true for advanced mathematics. Scholars solve seven problems that all have at least two solutions. Then three higher-level thinking questions challenge them to...

This is a fun way to interact with numbers, and it hardly takes any preparation! Give youngsters pieces of ten cards, each of which has a number from 1-10. The cards are provided, and it's recommended to print on cardstock. Laminate if...

A five-question interactive provides a horizontal number line where integers are stacked on top of one another to find solutions of addition problems. Mathematicians move numbers to the numbers line, as numbers build higher, the sum of...

Where does a quarter go? Given a number line, the short task asks individuals to place the number one-fourth correctly upon it. The writers developed the task to demonstrate ways to assess critical skills from the CCSS.

Upper elementary and middle schoolers practice solving addition and multiplication problems with positive and negative numbers. They use a number line initially to help find a solution.

In this simple worksheet, learners add and subtract positive and negative integers. Mathematicians plot the problem on a number line beside each of the 24 problems. You might want to white out the answers at the bottom of each page and...

Don't freeze out the interactive on inequalities from your lesson plans. Young mathematicians use an interactive thermometer and number line to compare freezing temperatures. Inequalities help express these comparisons.

What makes fractions equivalent? Learners first use an interactive that shows equivalent fractions with fraction models and number lines. They then play a game where they must match sets of equivalent fractions with different denominators.
