Students solve linear inequalities. In this solving linear inequalities lesson, students solve one step inequalities algebraically. Students graph the solutions on a number line. Students compare the graphs of various inequalities such...

Why would Robert E. Lee order Pickett's Charge, an action that changed the course of the Civil War? Geographer and historian Anne Knowles uses digital technology to explain what she thinks is the missing piece in trying to understand...

Your learners will enjoy thoroughly understanding fractions, and you will appreciate the abundant, quality resources in this comprehensive unit that builds toward a complete understanding of the concept of fractions as numbers. Many...

Although graphing a linear inequality on the plane is but a few steps added onto the graphing of a linear equation, for many learners the logical leap is quite intimidating. This approachable PowerPoint presentation breaks graphing...

Prove that an equation in slope-intercept form names only one line. At the beginning, the teacher leads the class through a proof that there is only one line passing through a given point with a given slope using contradiction. The 19th...

The resource is a good introduction to what makes a proportional relationship between two lines. Discuss the similarities of both lines and the possibility of intersection. Use this opportunity to list other acceptable forms of each...

Note that this activity is best paired with the preceding activity in the unit. In that activity, elementary physical scientists observed that the color coating of M&Ms® candies do not mix when dissolved off of the chocolate surface....

Young mathematicians identify different cases of intersecting secant lines. They then investigate the case where secant lines meet inside a circle.

Use a number line to demonstrate subtracting by tens. Learners "hop" backwards down a tens number line to complete subtraction equations. Several different ways to express the operation are included. 

Medians, midsegments, altitudes, oh my! Pupils study the properties of the median of a triangle, initially examining a proof utilizing midsegments to determine the length ratio of a median. They then use the information to find missing...

Develop a sense of understanding. Pupils learn eight definitions dealing with types of lines and angles formed when two lines are crossed by another line. Learners use the definitions to identify the lines and pairs of angles in figures...

Do you need to create custom line plot worksheets for your math learners? Use this template to create the line plot. Include up to five questions below the plot. 

An online set of four yummy questions addresses number sense for sixth graders. They place points on a number line, determine relative values, interpret absolute value, and apply their understanding to the weighing of cakes for a bakery....

Magnetic fields might not be a field of dreams but they are useful. Class members observe the reactions of magnetic fields using a compass, iron filings in a paper container, and iron filings suspended in mineral oil. 

Working in a math center or an "I finished early" work station, young mathematicians will match in sequence pre-set-up rods of unifix cubes to numbers on a number line. To help differentiate tens from ones, use different colors to...

How do 2-D properties relate in 3-D? Lead the class in a discussion on how to draw and see relationships of lines and planes in three dimensions. The ability to see these relationships is critical to the further study of volume and...

Show it can all be proved. Scholars learn the converses of the properties of parallel lines. Using the converses, pupils determine which lines are parallel based on angle measurements and practice using a flow proof to show that two...

Learners watch a quick review on the Parallel and Perpendicular Lines unit. The pupils work through ten review problems ranging from identifying types of angles formed by parallel lines and transversals to writing equations of parallel...

Sixth and seventh graders solve 19 various types of problems related to integers as objects models. They write an integer that corresponds to each letter on a number line and then, arrange the integers from least to greatest. Pupils also...

Investigate negative exponents of-ten. Pupils use the pattern of increasing powers of 10 to determine negative powers of 10. The scholars write the powers in expanded and product forms and make the connection to exponents using a...

Work within a parallel universe. Scholars learn about the relationships of angles when two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal. They see how to find the measurements of all eight angles by knowing the measure of one angle....

Upper graders solve math problems involving multiplication using specific strategies. They will use base-ten blocks, hundreds charts, and number lines to solve multiplication problems. Then they will practice several of the strategies...

How many items can your learners find that are approximately one inch in length or width? Using this graphic organizer, they find nine, labeling and drawing each. A line that is 1-inch is provided at the bottom of the page, or you could...

With two summers of babysitting money, Mia needs a way to compare her earning from both years. Show your learners that they can organize the data onto a double-line graph to easily compare which summer was more profitable. The lesson...
