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.

Students find the greatest common factor of two numbers. In this algebra lesson, students use prime factorization to find their factor to simplify equations. they create a factor tree to find the factors of composite numbers.

Laboratory activities encourage evolutionary biology scholars to consider homologous structures as evidence of common ancestry. They learn how to formulate phylogenic trees and that environment influences to genetic variation. Activities...

Polynomial multiplication and factoring go hand in hand. Why not teach them together. This resource begins with an area model for distributing a monomial and then connects the process to factoring the GCF. Learners then advance to...

Students solve problems using the GCD and LCM. In this algebra activity, students factor and simplify equations using the greatest common and least common factors and multiples. They factor integers in pairs.

Young mathematicians graph polynomials using the factored form. As they apply all positive leading coefficients, pupils demonstrate the relationship between the factors and the zeros of the graph.

Fifth graders investigate factors by utilizing mathematical terms.   In this number sense lesson, 5th graders discuss and define terms such as factors, multiples, and denominators.  Students create a Venn Diagram when...

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 examine abiotic and biotic factors. They define biotic and abiotic, categorize a list of items onto a Venn diagram, label various items from areas on the school grounds as biotic or abiotic, and diagram a magazine picture.

Cell membranes and the factors that affect its integrity are studied, with Beet tissue used as the model. A poster to display findings of the permeability of the membranes would clarify understanding and also allow a layer of language...

Students see a demonstration of the concept of factors through modeling. They do an activity that help them explain further the concept of common factors and greatest common factor.

Students determine the physical and chemical factors that affect plant growth. In this biology lesson plan, students explain the role of hormones in plants. They investigate how competition with other plants affect their growth.

Young scholars experiment with yeast. In this environmental conditions lesson students test the viability of samples of yeast. Young scholars investigate the effects of environmental conditions on the yeast.

Can you follow a composition of transformations, or better yet construct them? Young mathematicians analyze the composition of dilations, examining both the scale factor and centers of dilations. They discover relationships for both...

Learners identify the factors affecting friction. In this physics lesson, students construct their own rocket car and race them. They graph the average speeds and discuss how lubricants affect friction between rubbing surfaces.

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...

A solution will work one way or another: find solutions, or use solutions to find the function. Learners use polynomial identities to factor polynomials with complex solutions. They then use solutions and the Zero Product Property to...
