Here is a straight-forward problem of multiplying two binomials with a twist. It is up to algebra learners to decide how to turn this product of sums into a sum of products. However, it is not the quadratic that is the answer; it is the...

Log the resource on logarithms for future use. Learners review and explore properties of logarithms and solve base 10 exponential equations in the 12th installment of a 35-part module. An emphasis on theoretical definitions and...

Students review the factors of production and how they are used to make the products they buy. In groups, they participate in different scenerios in which they discover the amount of power they have to affect change buy purchasing the...

Students identify the three realms of the Arctic Ocean, and describe the relationships between these realms. They identify major factors that limit primary productivity in the Arctic Ocean.

Use the power of a power property to solve exponential functions. The lesson refers to  differentiating between multiplying or adding exponents to find the value, and how to find the product of a power of a power.

Students complete an experiment with Alka-Seltzer and reaction rates. They control the rate in which gases are allowed to escape. They test their predictions and observe what happens during the experiment.

Fifth graders explore common factors. In this factorization lesson plan, 5th graders discover the greatest common factor among two numbers in a game format. Students build on previous knowledge to determine the greatest common factor.

Identifying patterns is a crucial skill for all mathematicians, young and old. Explore the multiplication table with your class, using patterns and symmetry to teach about square numbers, prime numbers, and the commutative and identity...

Students examine the different methods of production. They relate the new concepts to different production contexts. They identify the external factors that influence firms.

Explore parabolas in this algebra lesson plan with the graphing calculator. The class investigates what effects the changing of the parameters of the vertex form of a quadrati have to its graph. They find the zeros of a quadratic...

Package design is an economic necessity. Young scholars assume the role in an interesting inquiry-based lesson. Given 24 cubic shaped candies to package, they must determine the arrangement that uses the least amount of cardboard to...

If you can multiply binomials, you can factor trinomials! This is the premise for a lesson on factoring. Pupils look for patterns in the binomials they multiply and apply them in reverse. Examples include leading coefficients of one...

Shuffle 'em up and deal! Learners practice operations with polynomials using cards they pass around the room. The activity works with pairs or individuals, so it offers great flexibility. This is the fifth installment in a series of 42...

The product of the hard work is learning. Scholars use a simulation tool to collect information to analyze. They must decide when two ships traveling back and forth across a river at different rates will meet on the same side. The intent...

Students observe biotic and abiotic things participating in an observational walk outside the school. They create a collage using pictures of biotic and abiotic items.

How can 5th graders show understanding that 30 x 225 is half of 60 x 225 without completing the computation? They can use an area model and draw it out. An array, or an open array, is an area model that allows for young learners to...

Students name and sketch numerical expressions. In this order of operation lesson plan, students add, subtract, multiply and divide using the correct order of operation. They perform four specific calculations for their motivation lesson...

Students investigate how permeable different materials are. In this physics lesson, students determine what affects permeability and how permeability relates to oil production.

The Crusades sounds like a glamorous time period in the Middle Ages full of glory—but was it? Scholars find and review the truth of the Crusades' influence on the world through the resource. The study guides, separated individually by...

Students investigate the effects of calcium ions on the quality characteristics of cooked dry beans. In this calcium ion and dry bean investigation lesson plan, students soak dry beans using 2 different soaking techniques and 2 different...

Students explore the Great Wall of China. They participate in three activities to become familiar with the geography of China and Chinese names. Students explore the size of the wall by examining an interactive web site. They write a...

Uncover the relationship between factoring quadratics and higher degree polynomials. Learners develop their factoring skills through repetition. A comprehensive lesson begins with quadratics and shows how to use the same patterns to...

Students determine that the rate of reaction is affected by temperature, surface area, concentration of reagent, and addition of a catalyst or inhibitor. They observe that on December 3rd, 1984, 8000 people died when the chemical plant...
