Help the class visualize operations with complex numbers with a lesson that formally introduces complex numbers and reviews the visualization of complex numbers on the complex plane. The fifth installment of a 32-part series reviews...

Challenge mathematicians to crack the binary code with an interactive that focuses on numbers nine to 16. A table reveals exponential equations to aid in answering multiple-choice questions. A discussion question gauges comprehension. 

The ninth installment of a 21-part module has pupils compare integers and rational numbers in decimal and fraction form. They match stories to number lines and compare values in the stories.

Class members investigate how positive and negative numbers are useful in the real world. Individuals first read a short passage and identify terms indicating positive and negative numbers. They consider situations involving positive...

Apply properties of operations to work with mixed numbers. The first of two lesson plans that focus on properties of operations works with mixed numbers and converting opposites of sums. Pupils work with properties of operations to break...

Third graders construct numbers to the millions place. In this 30-page place value lesson, learners create numbers and evaluate the place value of digits. They explore standard and expanded form of numbers. An incredible resource!

Introduces addition of decimals by using unit notation to represent the problem. Pupils use a place value chart to decompose the numbers and then add before connecting to the standard algorithm. 

To work through the complexity of coordinate geometry pupils make the connection between the coordinate plane and the complex plane as they plot complex numbers in the 11th part of a series of 32. Making the connection between the two...

Connect division with multiplication through the use of models. Groups solve problems involving the division of a whole number by a fraction using models. The groups share their methods along with the corresponding division and...

Use properties to evaluate several multiplications and divisions. The 16th lesson in a series of 25 demonstrates to scholars how they can utilize properties of operations to evaluate complex numerical expressions involving multiplication...

Groups write and evaluate expressions for various phone plans and scenarios to find which is the best deal. They then compare different approaches to writing expressions for the same scenario and discuss the concept of equivalent...

Students use paper cups and colored chips to observe properties of operations with real numbers. As a class, students brainstorm and use manipulatives to demonstrate associative, commutative, distributive identity and inverse properties....

Measure the temperature of your math class with a temperature-based lesson plan on adding and subtracting rational numbers. The thermometer serves as a vertical number line for learners as they work together to solve a temperature change...

Identifying patterns is a crucial skill for all mathematicians, young and old. Explore the multiplication table with your class, using patterns and symmetry to teach about square numbers, prime numbers, and the commutative and identity...

No, you can't actually smell these 13 scratch-n-sniff stickers. But you can group them into equal groups of four, with one sticker remaining. Using that information, learners create a mixed number based on the improper fraction, 13/4.

Is there a way to connect creative thinking, logical reasoning, mathematical understanding, and humor? You bet there is! Kids begin by creating creative math quizzes, which require creative thinking to solve. For example, 1+1=24, one...

Is the circumference of a circle always, sometimes, or never rational? Learners answer questions individually and also work in groups to look at sums and products of rational and irrational numbers. They must also be able to use the...

Piece by piece young scholars build a basic understanding of fractions in a Common Core-designed elementary math lesson. Through a series of hands-on activities and journaling exercises, and with the help of multiple...

Beginning with a word problem that poses the question of making groups of 10 pennies to translate into a single dime, pupils are challenged to make sense of the amount of dollars 33 cents is in expanded form.

Three tables, prepared for learners to write notes about the properties of real numbers, are squeezed onto one printable. The addition and multiplication of real numbers are the focus of the notes.

Reinforce concepts and encourage learner engagement with a collection of math games, science experiments, and cross curricular activities. In one fun resource, learners sort objects, keep a diary of everyday fractions, play a game using...

The more trials scholars perform, the closer they'll likely be to the true value. After designing a probability experiment, young mathematicians conduct the experiment for five different numbers of trials. They then analyze the results,...

Take your class on a field trip to Fractalland where they'll learn all about number and shape patterns. Based on Disney's movie Alice in Wonderland, this resource takes young mathematicians on an adventure as they explore patterns in...

Following a catchy video about decomposing numbers, young mathematicians build and write numbers using dice. Class members work to create an anchor chart that displays six ways to make numbers. Beans get scooped and estimated, then...
