Pupils use blocks and markers to illustrate the processes of adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing integers. In this mathematics lesson plan, learners use Algebra blocks to demonstrate multiplying polynomials.

Explore how to deal with fractional and negative exponents. Scholars watch a video reviewing fractional, zero, and negative exponents. After the video, they test their skills by completing a worksheet covering the concepts.

Just because one integer is larger than another doesn't mean it will make sense right away. Go beyond note taking and show learners, through the use of algebra tiles and a Four-Pan Algebra Balance, how the numbers relate to one...

Young mathematicians construct their own understanding of integers with an inquiry-based math lesson. Using colored chips to represent positive and negative numbers, children model a series of addition and subtraction problems as...

Six questions make up an interactive designed to boost scholars' knowledge of integers. Mathematicians move symbols over a horizontal number line to aid in findings answers between 10 and negative 10. Question types include...

Eliminate a color by dragging shapes. The interactive provides a graphical color display that allows for pupils to solve a linear system by elimination. Learners combine figures following set rules for positive and negative shapes. The...

What happens when you add negative and positive integers to one another? Do you add or subtract, and will the answer be positive or negative? Young mathematicians use blue and red polka dots to determine the value of an expression that...

Squares can be magic. Pupils use their knowledge of addition of positive and negative rational numbers to create a 3 X 3 magic square where the sums are 1. Scholars create addition and multiplication expressions with a set of rational...

Use two different colors of bingo chips to represent positive and negative charges. Add and subtract them in a clear glass beaker to demonstrate how to add and subtract integers. This visual, along with a number line, will really help...

To better understand that the intersection point of two lines lies inside a circle, learners use their keen measurement skills. They discuss arcs, rays, tangent lines, and reflex angles. Then, they put their skills to work as they...

Introduce youngsters to the important role shape and form play in art with this extensive collection of activities and projects. From teaching first graders how to create mandalas to engaging third and fourth graders in the design...

Your teenagers may have heard of fracking, but do they really know what it is? And could they debate the benefits and risks? Educate your environmental science class with a lesson about hydraulic fracturing, non-renewable energy...

Consequences, consequences. Using the resource, scholars engage in a class discussion about the repercussions of too much screen time. Next, they create a Cascading Consequences chart that lists the positive and negative effects of...

It's time to weigh the risks and benefits of screen time! Pupils work in triads to identify the strongest positive and negative consequences from their Cascading Consequences chart. Next, using the chart and their researcher's notebooks,...

Create a human fraction to learn about division of exponents. Scholars develop the rule for division of exponents by being part of a human fraction to explore and justify the rule. They also consider zero exponents and negative exponents.

Here's a self-evaluation form designed to get pupils thinking about their behaviors, both the positive and the negative.

A great resource for any math teacher covering multiples, factors or square roots; this worksheet walks young mathematicians through the logic behind factoring and square roots with a systematic set of problems which gradually increase...

Kids are challenged to make a human number line. They line up, holding numbers from -10 to 10. They then add and subtract both positive and negative numbers, using themselves as the numbers on the number line. This is a great way to...

The last installment of a 21-part module is an end-of-module assessment. Individuals show their understanding of positive and negative numbers on the number line, absolute value, and the coordinate plane in a variety of contexts.

The old aphorism, "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions," might well serve as the title for a resource that asks viewers to consider the plight of the people of the Gamo Highlands, an area in southwestern Ethiopia. These...
