Practice writing algebraic expressions from written phrases. The objective is to consider two seemingly similar phrases, write them as algebraic expressions, and then simplify using the order of operations. Learners are challenged to...

In this Algebra II worksheet, students classify numbers by naming the subset or subsets of the real numbers to which it belongs. The two page worksheet provides explanation and examples in addition to ten practice problems. Solutions are...

The 28-page resource contains cards with terms relating to multiplication from inverse operations to front-end estimation to array. Each sheet contains two cards; one with the word and one with the definition.

For this math worksheet, students solve one-digit and two-digit multiplication problems. Students also use the Commutative and Associative Properties to solve 44 multiplication problems.

If you need some creative ways to teach the order of operations, use a series of activities that focus on properties. Each instructional activity uses different materials and works as a stand-alone activity, or can build upon the...

The 15th installment of a 35-part module is a mid-module assessment task. Covering concepts in the first half of the module, the task acts as a formative assessment, providing you with valuable information on how learners are doing.

In this distributive property learning exercise, students solve and complete 22 different equations that include applying the distributive property to each one. First, they simplify each expression listed by applying the distributive...

Help third graders make sense of the Common Core math standards with this simple checklist. By rewording each standard as an I can statement, children are provided with clear goals to focus on as they participate in math lessons.

Introduce logarithmic functions and their properties with a straightforward lesson plan. It provides an introduction to new material, examples, and practice problems. The variety of problem types keeps learners engaged while...

Fold, fold, and fold some more. In the first installment of a 35-part module, young mathematicians fold a piece of paper in half until it can not be folded any more. They use the results of this activity to develop functions for the area...

Not all linear functions are linear transformations, only those that go through the origin. The third lesson in the 32-part unit proves that linear transformations are of the form f(x) = ax. The lesson plan takes another look at examples...

One of the hardest skills for many young geometers to grasp is to move beyond just declaring obvious things true, and really returning to fundamental principles for proof. This brief exercise stretches those proving muscles as the...

Dive head-first into this worksheet full of inverse operations, distributing, and combining like terms. Let your learners try these challenging problems to test their skills with multi-step equations and simplifying expressions with...

How do you find the lengths of items that cannot be directly measured? The 13th installment in a series of 16 has pupils use the similarity content learned in an earlier resource to solve real-world problems. Class members determine...

Discover how the distributive property applies to division. As learners change numeric values within an expression, the simulation calculates its value. Challenge questions lead individuals to realize the power of distributing the...

Three chapters worth of integer, fraction, and decimal problems to give you every type of question your learners need to be a successful mathematician. Thankfully the work has been done for you and this is a huge resource full...

This presentation is intended to accompany an entire unit and covers a wide variety of concepts. Counting on, counting back, symmetry, properties of 2-D shapes, completing symmetrical patterns, and measuring angles are all covered.

Young geometers develop one of the fundamental properties of quadrilaterals (connecting side midpoints gives a parallelogram) in this short but thought-provoking exercise. Using a combination of hands-on techniques and abstract algebraic...

So many times the characteristics of triangles are presented as a vocabulary-type of lesson, but in this activity they are key to unraveling a proof. A unique attack on proving that an inscribed angle that subtends a diameter must be a...

Four is the perfect number—if you're talking about parallelograms. Scholars determine a possible fourth vertex of a parallelogram in the coordinate plane given the coordinates of three vertices. They read a conversation...

One of the basic properties of inscribed angles gets a triangle proof treatment in a short but detailed exercise. Leading directions take the learner through identifying characteristics of a circle and how they relate to angles and...

Algebra and geometry are not interchangeable. Demonstrate why not with a series of problems that deal with the equations of circles and equations of lines that meet specific criteria. 

Can learners determine solutions associated with lines? A slide presentation contains sample items for the Smarter Balanced 8th grade math Target D covering solving linear equations and systems of linear equations. Items illustrate the...

Use the real-world cost of parking a car to demonstrate the properties of a function. The resource describes to learners how much it is to park in a certain lot. It is up to your number crunchers to complete a table of minutes...
