Patterns in math emerge from seemingly random places. Learners explore the patterns for factoring the sum and differences of perfect roots. Analyzing these patterns helps young mathematicians develop the polynomial identities.

There are three parts to this lesson on integers. In the first, learners explore positive and negative numbers on an actual painter's tape number line and by playing a "Hot Seat" game. In part two, they view a BrainPop video and work...

Can you add variables if you don't know their value? Using an empty number line, scholars first locate the position of the difference, sum, product, and quotient of two unknown integers. Later problems mix operations as well as add...

When you divide two integers you can get a decimal form of a rational number that repeats. How do you interpret that number in real-world situations? Her is an example question: What does 2.6666666666 mean in terms of an amount of...

It's more than just numbers on a line, its an organizational, mental math machine to help learners understand the value of numbers. The tool is handy when introducing positive and negative integers to see their values and...

Students perform order of operation using integers. In this algebra lesson plan, students apply properties of integers as they add, subtract, multiply and divide integers. They work in groups to complete a RAFT assignment.

Students add and subtract integers. In this algebra lesson, students add, subtract, multiply and divide integers. They apply the properties of numbers as they solve equations.

Develop a solid understanding of multiplication and division properties of exponents. Individuals expand exponential terms to discover the patterns and create the properties in the second installment in a series of 15. The activity...

Students define polynomial functions. In this algebra lesson, students add, subtract, multiply and divide polynomials using properties of polynomial functions.

Develop your pupils' understanding of fractions and their decimal equivalence using the 12th lesson plan in this series. Scholars learn an alternative to long division that results in converting fractions to decimals that emphasize...

What in the world is the zeroth power? Examine the patterns of exponents as they apply to the zeroth power. Scholars apply the zero property to simple exponential expressions in this fourth lesson in a series of 15. The examples include...

This unit on integers includes a pre-test, a post-test, four spreadsheets, and links to an interactive web-site to support the learning of integer operations. Access to computers and the Internet are imperative to this unit. The lessons...

Six pages prepare you to introduce your math stars to the addition and subtraction of positive and negative numbers. They drive a robot back and forth on an actual number line to represent the operations. If you don't have access to a...

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. 

Bring algebra to life with scientific applications. Math minded individuals calculate and graph the time it takes a bacterium to double. They discuss geometric sequences and use a chart to graph their findings. There are 38...

Explore properties of integers! In this algebra lesson, pupils add, subtract, divide and multiply using integers correctly. They differentiate between rational and irrational numbers.

Students create visuals on the TI Calculator to solve problems. In this algebra lesson plan, students perform basic operations with integers. They add, subtract, multiply and divide.

Your sixth and seventh graders deepen their understanding of a number line and adding integers in this concrete, hands-on activity. Learners play "Warehouse Puzzle" and then discuss their game strategies and the characteristics...

Students solve problems using the order of operation. In this algebra lesson, students factor, subtract, add and divide using the correct order to remove parentheses. They simplify expressions by combining like terms.

Ninth graders solve problems involving exponential functions. In this algebra lesson, 9th graders apply their knowledge of exponential properties to add, multiply, divide and subtract exponential functions. They perform these operations...

Students solve problems within-inequalities. For this algebra lesson, students apply concepts of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division to solve inequalities.

Learners solve inequalities using more than two steps. In this algebra lesson, students solve inequalities using addition, substitution, multiplication and division. When dividing or multiplying by a negative number, you have to switch...

Students review inverse, negative integers and order of operation. In this algebra lesson, students combine like terms and solve linear equations by multiplying and dividing by the inverse of an integer. They rewrite word problems using...

Students manipulate integers quickly to get their answers. In this algebra instructional activity, students play an interactive game as they review basic algebraic operations. They add, subtract, multiply and divide quickly to get the...
