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.

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.

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...

Explore the process of simplifying square roots through an analysis of perfect squares. The fourth instructional activity of 25 expects individuals to find the perfect square factors in each radicand as a means of simplifying. The...

The greater the degree, the more solutions to find! Individuals find the real solutions from a graph and use the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra to find the remaining factors. 

Why do I have to do bean counting if I'm not going to become an accountant? The 24th installment of a 35-part module has the class conducting experiments using beans to collect data. Learners use exponential functions to model this...

Circles are the foundation of many geometric concepts and extensions - a point that is thoroughly driven home in this extensive unit. Fundamental properties of circles are investigated (including sector area, angle measure, and...

Provide guidance and practice of the useful skill: solving rational equations using both an algebraic and graphical approach. Pupils solve increasingly more difficult rational equations using algebraic methods. After, they...

Students solve quadratic equations using graphs. In this algebra instructional activity, students factor quadratic equations and graph their answer. They discuss the shape of their graph based on the function.

Time to study the most sensible function — rational functions! The seven-lesson unit develops the concept of a rational function through a connection to rational numbers and fractions. Scholars graph functions, solve equations, and...

Zero in on your pupils' understanding of solving quadratic equations. Spend time developing the purpose of the zero product property so that young mathematicians understand why the equations should be set equal to zero and how that...

Learners explore the concept of Pascal's Triangle. In this Pascal's Triangle lesson plan, students use an applet called 'Coloring Multiples' to explore Pascal's Triangle. Learners develop patterns starting with various numbers in...

Students investigate the associative property of addition. In this associative property of addition lesson, students work in pairs and build addition problems with six blocks. They sit on either side of a desk so that they can "read" the...
