Assess how long the class pet snake grew and how long it was when it started growing with a short learning exercise. Learners use addition and subtraction strategies with measurements to answer three questions.

Mathematicians go on a virtual shopping trip in an interactive designed to boost the concept of estimation. Scholars read and answer five questions—multiple-choice, true or false, and a discussion—with help from a drag-and-drop shopping...

Young readers compare and contrast digital and print versions of tall tale text. The resource includes a character analysis in which pupils compare and contrast traits, and make inferences about what the characters do and say. They...

Use equivalent expressions to reveal information about their graphs. Pupils verify that two quadratic functions are equivalent. By comparing the two expressions, they determine the vertex, the zeros, the y-intercept, and the...

Systematically combine shapes to arrive at one solution. The resource models a system of linear equations using colored shapes. Pupils follow rules to combine circles and squares to add the two equations together, resulting in one...

Five questions make up an interactive all about whole-number exponents. Movable building blocks create a visual tool to aide mathematicians in answering multiple-choice and true or false problems. The interactive ends with a discussion...

Challenge mathematicians to crack the binary code with an interactive that focuses on numbers nine to 16. A table reveals exponential equations to aid in answering multiple-choice questions. A discussion question gauges comprehension. 

True or false: 20 = 10 + 10. The statement is true because two 10s make a 20. These are the types of equations learners must label or false. They must also explain in mathematical terms how they know.

Transcription means a written copy but how can DNA write a message? The video explains transcription and translation as they relate to DNA and RNA. Then in the interactive, scholars practice base pairing and answer analysis...

Who wins the battle of the interest rates? Scholars use an interactive to investigate three different bank rates. Comparing APR and APY lets them see how nominal and effective rates differ.

Ten questions make up an interactive all about integers. Scholars answer multiple choice, short answer, and discussion questions using a 4x4 chessboard and dominoes.

Scientific notation is the focus of a five-question interactive. A model with movable points offers a visual reference to help solve true or false, multiple-choice, and fill in the blank questions. A discussion question challenges...

Five questions make up an interactive all about adding fractions with like denominators. Mathematicians answer multiple-choice problems and an open-ended question using a fraction model that resembles sliced bread. The practice ends with...

This is just the transition phase. Scholars participate in a mini lesson about using transitions in writing. They then have a brief peer critique of the introduction and conclusion paragraphs for their end of unit assessment. Learners...

Plot data using the number line and discuss how negative numbers are used in math and science. Sixth and seventh graders share their graph with the class and provide an explanation for their plotting.

Overall, this learning exercise contains a good selection of problems that reviews different aspects of linear equations. Learners examine and graph linear equations, absolute value equations, and inequalities in two variables. The three...

Middle schoolers explore number sense by completing math function problems in class. In this integers lesson, students define integers and practice plotting them on a number line. Middle schoolers utilize math functions such as addition...

Students explore number sequence in a variety of activities. In this number practice lesson, students play a game of finger flash and read the book Counting Crocodiles. Students discuss the counting elements in the book and chart the...

Three activities make up an introductory lesson designed to create a strong foundation in comparing fractions to decimals and exploring and building decimal models. Pupils brainstorm and complete a Venn diagram to show how decimals and...

Fifth graders compare fractions. In this fraction instructional activity, 5th graders identify whether a fraction is closest to zero, half, or one and use common denominators. They put fractions in order and complete real-life fraction...

For this rational expressions worksheet, 9th graders identify and solve 15 different problems that include multiplying and dividing various rational expressions. First, they multiply or divide each pair of rational expressions. Then,...

Students investigate Mayan Numbers. In this algebra lesson plan, students compare our number system to the number system of the Mayans. They identify base 10 and base 20 numbers including zero in the Mayan symbols. They solve a Mayan...

For this ordered pairs worksheet, students use the graph and write the letter of the point for each ordered pair. Students then write the ordered pair for the given points. Students then answer the six grid location questions.

Eighth graders explore the coordinate system. They identify the x and y-axis, parts of the coordinate plane, and discuss the process of plotting points. To emphasize the process of plotting points, 8th graders play an ordered pair...
