The object is to model fraction division by asking “How many are in one group?” It is a difficult concept to understand, but developing the model that shows one cup to a certain amount of container or one container to a certain amount of...

Middle schoolers use discs in order to add and subtract integers. There are manipulatives present so kinesthetic learners can access the curriculum. They also review the concept of the opposite of positive and negative numbers.

Students, using algebraic operations, solve and check linear equations. At the beginning of class, they write a paragraph comparing the solving of math problems to solving real life problems. Students observe solving systems of two...

In this parts of similar triangles learning exercise, 10th graders solve and complete 15 different statements related to naming the parts found in similar triangles. First, they identify each definition stated that describes an everyday...

First graders solve math problems. In this subtraction activity, 1st graders use Smarties to compare addition and subtraction. Students complete math problems where they solve basic subtraction questions.

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...

A unique approach to reviewing number lines and how to locate different values on them, this worksheet poses several questions that require written answers rather than calculations. You could use this as a note-taking guide when teaching...

In this ratios learning exercise, students complete a variety of online exercises involving writing twelve ratios in their simplest form, writing nine ratios in the form of 1:n, writing six ratios in the form n:1 and solving seven ratio...

Ensure your class has a solid understanding of positive and negative integers before moving on. The 14th installment of a 21-part series is a mid-module assessment. Scholars solve problems on positive and negative integers, on...
