What goes into accounting the United States budget deficits and its net operating costs? How do shifts in the economy affect government spending? How is increasing interest projected to affect our federal debt in the future? This video...

Collaborative discussions around this retail store problem will be taxing. Calculating discount and tax and the order of the operations are used to motivate an opportunity for learners to make a convincing argument using algebraic...

Emerging statisticians develop the ability to make inferences from sample data while also working on proportional relationships in general. Here, young learners examine samples for bias, and then use random samples to make inferences...

The 28-page resource contains cards with terms relating to multiplication from inverse operations to front-end estimation to array. Each sheet contains two cards; one with the word and one with the definition.

If you can multiply multi-digit integers, you can multiply polynomials. Learners use an area model to compare multiplying numbers to multiplying polynomials. They progress to using the distributive property. 

Young scholars write and solve linear equations in one variable based on descriptions of the operations that are applied to the unknown variable in an algebra machine. They then create their own problems for classmates to solve.

How many people can sit around a table? The 22nd part in a series of 36 continues the work on writing and evaluating expressions to include expressions with two operations. Pupils use models to determine an expression for the number of...

Does it ever seem like the more money you get, the more you spend? A short video lesson introduces the concept of goods and services changing hands in a circular flow pattern. Scholars analyze how businesses make money from selling goods...

DNA writes 64 different words but only codes for 20 different amino acids. Budding scientists learn about where each of these numbers come from and why they aren't equal with an online interactive. The resource explains the research, the...

Students are exposed to different types of sequences. in this sequencing lesson, students learn about simple sequences, multiplication sequences, declining sequences, the Fibonacci sequence and other sequences.

Students perform mathematical operations on complex numbers. After a lecture/demo, students utilize a worksheet imbedded in this plan to gain practice performing operations on complex numbers.

In this Algebra I worksheet, 9th graders explore the basic of beginning algebra:  the order of operations, integer operations, translating phrases and sentences, and solving basic one-step equations.  The six page worksheet contains...

In this place value worksheet, students solve 15 various math operation questions. The first 5 questions ask students to figure out the operation, using a calculator, that changes one number to another. The next 5 questions ask students...

First graders role-play addition and subtraction operations with teddy bears. They practice with the bears first, then write and solve the problems.

Second graders use multiplication to solve problems. They use the multiplication facts for 2 and 4. Students combine operations to solve the problem and they devise and apply problem solving strategies.
