Teach cube roots by building on an understanding of square roots. The third installment of a 25-part series asks learners to solve simple quadratic and cubic equations using roots. Scholars compare square roots and cube roots throughout...

Conquer any irrational fears you might have of irrational numbers. As class members investigate how to represent numbers geometrically, they learn about rational and irrational numbers, including approximating and ordering rational...

In this shape lesson, learners cut out tangram shapes and create different pictures with them. They look at 3-D shapes as well. There is a nice, hands-on component built into this lesson.

Build on your classes' understanding of irrational numbers by comparing their values. The 13th activity in the 25-part module has individuals estimate values of both perfect and non-perfect roots. They finish by graphing these numbers on...

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.

Math class is full of drama—there are so many problems to work out! Pupils work out factoring problems. They use quadratic methods of factoring higher degree polynomials, in addition to factoring the sum and difference of two...

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 solve exponential functions and inequalities. In this algebra lesson plan, students find the roots of equations and use it to graph and evaluate exponential functions. They simplify exponents using the law of exponents.

Students simplify rational expressions. In this algebra lesson, students solve rational equations using multiplication and division. They apply properties of exponents and negative exponents to solve the problems.
