Investigate equivalent fractions with your class. They compare and order fractions. Then they work cooperatively in groups to experiment and problem solve with fractions using a game format. Multiple resources are provided.

Learners explore algebraic concepts using real life situations.  In this equations lesson, students develop strategies to solve missing number problems. Learners participate in a board game based on algebraic equations.

Counting from seven to twelve in French is the foundational skill of a lesson from the BBC. Learners respond in French to the question, "How much is that?" (Ça fait combien?). The "Notes" and "Reinforcement" sections have inventive...

Students complete several activities to learn about currency and the functions of money. In this money functions lesson, students complete activities to learn what are the functions of money. Students calculate item prices with...

Twelfth graders identify the parts of an algebraic equation. They consider the many uses of algebra in daily life. They play a game, Algebra Match, where student pairs work to solve equations listed on index cards.

Students study and research irregular fractals and construct a few based on their research. Students practice pattern recognition skills and plane geometry skills calculating dimensions on the Fractured Pictures activity.

Students use a book or magazine to research the use of letters. They complete a worksheet and compare their results.

Students build a working definition of a regular fractal, they measure the concepts of dimensions and scale, they explore the concept of a logarithm and they attempt to solve simple exponential equations for the exponent both by trial...
