Zero in the Denominator

Find the cards that get to zero. The activity introduces the class to the idea of adding integers. Pupils use a number line to count up and count down when adding. They play a game to collect cards that will sum to zero.

This long division PowerPoint provides students with an overview of how to solve long division problems with a zero in the dividend. There are clearly stated steps in this PowerPoint, as well as an acronym to help students remember the...

Develop a strategy for solving quadratic equations. Pupils learn to factor quadratic equations and then apply the Zero Theorem. The instructor explains the Zero Theorem in detail.

Don't let it all be for naught. By watching a short video, learners see how to use the zero exponent property. The narrator works through four examples of simplifying exponential expressions by applying properties of exponents.

Some lessons feature videos, some interactive practice problems, and some have notes and activities. This comprehensive look at factoring and solving polynomial equations using the zero product principle has all of this and more. Though...

A mathematic impossibility? What? There's something you can't do in math? Yes! Believe it or not, you can't divide by zero! Watch this video and see the proof.

Be a hero, not a zero! Help your classes understand how to solve quadratic equations with the zero product property using an animated simulation. Using the controls, scholars manipulate the zeros and watch as the function and its factors...

Why doesn't dividing by zero result in infinity? Scholars view an engaging TED-Ed video that describes why division by zero is not allowed. It explains how division is related to the multiplicative inverse, and why 1/0 cannot be equal to...

Travel back thousands of years to the origin of the number system and watch how that development gradually produced the zero symbol. Class members will learn a little bit about math and a little bit about how language is shaped in this...

Graph quadratic functions and find the zero in this worksheet. Twelve problems range from those that could be quickly factored and graphed, to those that require use of the quadratic formula and their graphs approximated. Solutions...
