Tiles are not just for algebra—see how they can help with multiplication too. Young mathematicians learn to use algebra tiles to model the multiplication of polynomials. A follow-up worksheet provides practice with the skill.

Given a string of numbers and math symbols, learners take the challenge to insert parenthesis in the proper places to reach certain solutions. This is a challenge, indeed, an engaging enrichment for those who need a little more math!

Welcome learners to the world of algebra. Use a lesson that poses a situation involving the profit from creating greeting cards to teach about algebra. It requires scholars to use linear functions and inequalities to solve problems.

Explore methods for finding the volume of different three-dimensional figures. The 20th lesson in the 25-part series asks learners to interpret diagrams of 3-D figures and use formulas to determine volume. Scholars must use the...

Provide guidance and practice of the useful skill: solving rational equations using both an algebraic and graphical approach. Pupils solve increasingly more difficult rational equations using algebraic methods. After, they...

Connect functions to geometry. In the ninth installment of a 12-part module, young mathematicians create functions by investigating situations in geometry. They look at both area and volume of figures to complete a well-rounded lesson.

Seventh grade math is so much fun! They solve 10 different problems that include using patterns to complete a table, describe the pattern, and identify the specific term in the pattern for each. Then they give a description of the...

Seventh-graders solve 20 various types of problems related to ratio and rate. They write ratios in simplest form for each given statement, to compare the area of two figures, and write two ratios equivalent to each ratio. Pupils express...

Boost positive self-talk with a chart that turns negative feelings into happy ones. Scholars write down their negative emotions then rewrite them with a positive flair to aid in changing their outlook. 

A seven-question assessment determines how well your learners understand the procedures to add, subtract, multiply, and divide signed rational numbers. Pupils show their understanding through problem-solving situations. 

Here is a comprehensive task for your middle school mathematicians regarding the multiplication and division of integers. Word problems and practical problems abound, while occasional graphics make the page more visually appealing. A...

Unfortunately for young mathematicians, the world isn't made entirely of parallelograms, triangles, and trapezoids. After first learning the area formulas for these common shapes, students apply this new knowledge to...

Young mathematicians explore the maximun area for patio with the added complexity of finding the mimimum cost for construction. First, they maximize the area of a yard given a limited amount of fence and  plot width v. area on a...

This idiom activity will give your reluctant grammarians a change of heart about figurative language. Scholars read 15 sentences and then write the meaning of the idiom and the sentence in the space provided.

The motto for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry warns that one should never tickle a sleeping dragon, but learners will definitely be tickled by the activities in a packet of materials designed to accompany a reading of the...

Sixth graders are shown a variety of algebraic equations. In groups, they use tiles to represent each expression in the equations. To end the lesson, they solve story problems with one and two unknown variables. Individuals share their...

In this Venn diagrams worksheet, students write the expression that best suits the Venn diagrams. Students complete 4 problems total.

Students explore the concept of big, bigger, and biggest. They examine and classify items by size, listen to and discuss the book "A Pig is Big," complete a fill in the blank activity, and create a tri-fold that illustrates two items...

These real-life scenarios are a good way to get your scholars thinking about applying fractions. They employ equivalent fractions and simplification in their answers, matching each question to one of the fractions on the right. Consider...

Learners gain a concrete introduction to the concept of ratios. They demonstrate the ability to create ratios using peanut butter and jelly. They, in groups, construct 6 different sandwiches using different amounts of each food.

In this rational exponents worksheet, 9th graders solve and complete 18 different problems. First, they evaluate each rational exponent shown. Then, students write each radical expression in exponential form and simplify the expression.

Students write and illustrate a wish for the first gift of Christmas. In this Christmas lesson plan, students read the book The Polar Express and then write what they wish could be the first gift of Christmas.

In this math worksheet, students simplify the expressions. They create new expressions converting words into variables. They also practice using the order of operations.

Students discover how to apply the order of operations to evaluating algebraic expressions. In pairs, they solve problems by placing the order of operations steps in correct order. As an exit slip, students write paragraphs about an...
