Young scholars solve integrals using partial fractions. In this calculus instructional activity, students solve equations using the Heaviside Method if all the number in the denominators are not repeating. They complete an assignment in...

Students integrate integrals by the method of partial fractions. They then decompose fractions into two or more fractions to make them simpler rational expressions so that they can apply the basic integration formulas. Students also...

Add another strategy to the toolboxes of young mathematicians with this elementary math lesson on using number lines to add and subtract fractions.

Students study what occurs in the division process, rather than just following prescribed steps. They expand number sense to include integers and perform operations with whole numbers, simple fractions, and decimals. They write a word...

Fifth graders solve division problems using partial quotients. In this long division lesson, 5th graders practice seeing division as a process of repeated subtraction and estimation. This lesson provides a script for the teacher.

Young scholars solve word problems and determine quotients of fractions and mixed numbers. They practice multiplying fractions by increasing a recipe found on a food website. In addition, they increase the numbers to feed the whole class...

Students listen as the teacher describes the Heaviside Method of integrating integrals. They solve several problems using the Heaviside Method, and practice deciding when this method can and can not be used. Students work several...

This unit introduces a number of important concepts relating to fractions. The first of these is that fractions represent parts of regions and sets and so are useful in a large variety of situations. Whole numbers are not enough by...

Second graders explore fraction with Cuisenaire Rods. In this fraction lesson, 2nd graders recieve "recipe" cards for adding fractions. After practicing, students create their own cards then exchange  with each other to...

This unit explores the connections between percentages, decimals, and fractions. It focuses on strategies for solving problems involving percentages and applies these strategies to real life contexts.

Pupils use the lesson plan, "Squirt", to support students' development of multiplicative thinking. Squirt encourages pupils to anticipate multiplicative measurement relationships, e.g. three measures of A fit in B, by partially filling a...

In this math worksheet, students determine if the definite integral of given functions exist. They use a Taylor polynomial to approximate given values. Students express the arc length of a graph on a polar coordinate system as an integral.

Students investigate the Sierpinski triangle and calculate the ratio and area of the triangle. In this fractals lesson plan, students calculate parts of a Sierpincki triangle. They use Google Earth to help them construct the different...

Students use multiple math skills to complete grocery story problems. In this grocery math lesson, students study grocery ads to learn about the cost of foods. Students investigate food types and the costs of processed versus raw foods....

Students access web site and record various population statistics pertaining to a county in the USA of their choice. They use this data to set up and solve ratios. They compare data to make meaning of the numbers.

Fourth graders using the idea of "how many more squirts" fill a container to develop multiplicative thinking. They also investigate the idea of conservation of volume when working with oddly shaped containers. They attempt to use...
