Students examine finding the sum of an infinite series as the limit of partial sums. Through hands-on activities, students create their own sequence by finding the area of a square and then cutting it in half-sized pieces. They write...

Students add numbers and represent digits in extended form. In this extended form lesson plan, students complete this with 2 digit addition problems.

How do I solve a two-digit multiplication problem? Your class tackles this question by walking through problem solving methods. They first investigates and applies traditional multiplication methods, and they then compare those with...

In this interval worksheet, students write a geometric series for the derivatives of a function. Students determine the values of x and where it may converge. This two-page worksheet contains five multi-step problems.

Students are introduced to the concept of convergent infinite series using a recursive geometric construction. They explore the concept of a convergent infinite series using partial sums. Students use formal calculations, visualizations,...

Learn to calculate the nth term of a sequence defined by an algebraic expression. They examine geometric sequences and series, relate geometric sequences to their explicit forms, find the partial sums of a sequence in a table, and...

Eleventh graders investigate infinite geometric series.  In this Algebra II lesson, 11th graders explore partial sums of geometric series, converging and diverging series, and sums of infinite geometric series.   The...

High schoolers are introduced to infinite series, geometric and telescoping series as well as the relationship between the sequence of partial sums of a series and its sum. They apply symbolic capacity of their calculator and calculus to...

In this mathematics worksheet, 6th graders find the product of a given equation. Then they use an array and find the sum of the partial products. Students also use zeros as place holders when necessary.

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

Geometry could be called the study of figures. An overview of the figures found in a typical geometry course contains a study of different triangles, quadrilaterals, and regular polygons. 

Developing fluency with basic addition and subtraction is fundamental to the success of all young mathematicians. This four-day lesson series begins with learners using ten-frames and hundreds charts to recognize patterns when adding and...

In this sequence worksheet, students explain the definition of a convergent sequence and draw models of sequences. This two-page worksheet contains four multi-step problems.

In this integral test worksheet, students use the integral test to determine the upper and lower bounds for a given function. They identify the convergence of a series. This one-page worksheet contains four multi-step problems.

Unlock the keys to fluent multiplication with this upper-elementary math lesson. After an introduction to the five properties of multiplication, students match cards with different math problems to posters describing each...

Students find the area of three figure by the traditional formulaic methods. Then they count the number of grid squares to double check. They show an intuitive sense of Pick's Algorithm by counting every two boundary squares as one unit....

How do you know if a number is divisible? Instructors first prove the divisibility rules for three and four and then class members use this modeling to prove given divisibility rules for eight and nine either individually or in...

In this understanding whole numbers worksheet, 4th graders use a computer program for instruction, then answer 16 problems about addition and subtraction.

Learners research using the Internet, study books, reference sources, newspapers, and magazines for information about successful black business people and write a research paper. They may also interview entrepreneurs in their community...
