Math Teacher Resources
Need elementary math resources? Use Lesson Planet to find curriculum covering topics such as counting, shapes (like this shape-dice printable!), addition, subtraction, time (this time concept book is fantastic), measurement, and arithmetic. Try this interactive to help youngsters understand the relationship between addition and subtraction.
For more advanced classes, find lessons on geometry, fractions, percent, ratios, rates, proportions (here's a great video), area (simple worksheet here), volume, triangles, angles, exponents, negative numbers, statistics and probability, linear equations, graphing, real-world problem solving, polynomials, trigonometry, and matrices. Even find resources for more advanced topics such as series, limits, and derivatives covered in calculus and pre-calculus courses.
Whether you are teaching the basics or advanced topics, Lesson Planet can guide you to resources that will make math come alive for students!

Converse, Inverse, and Contrapositive
Logically speaking, here is a great resource. Young mathematicians apply an interactive to consider the converse, inverse and contrapositive statements. Eight challenge questions assess understanding of the material.

Intersecting and Parallel Lines
Sometimes line segments just refuse to meet. Young mathematicians connect houses on an interactive map using line segments. They must then determine whether these line segment pairs are intersecting or parallel.

Properties of Congruence: Polygon Party
Don't let congruent figures drag you down. Young mathematicians use an interactive to drag figures onto one another to determine if the figures are congruent.

Introduction to SOHCAHTOA
You might not be able to pronounce it, but everyone remembers SOHCAHTOA. Young mathematicians learn a way to remember the three major trigonometric ratios. They see how the first letters of certain words lead to the mnemonic.

Writing Basic Equations: Stars and Moons
You'll be over the moon about finding a useful resource for describing patterns. Aspiring mathematicians drag moon and star shapes to complete a shape pattern. Additionally, they must write an algebraic equation to describe the pattern.

Using Math to Analyze Data
No one wants to be average, so mathematicians use the term mean instead of average. The video explains how to calculate the mean, how to calculate the percent error, and why this information is important. Finally, the video considers the...
