How tall is the Empire State Building? Lead your class through a collaborative estimation activity to determine the number of quarters it would take to reach the top and teach the following concepts: human capital, human resources,...

Estimating is an essential skill used in everyday life. This presentation explains how to apply prior knowledge about rounding numbers to estimating sums and differences. Example problems and assessment include large numbers, making this...

Captivate your class by having them find the value of their names, different zoo animals, musical instruments, etc.,with a mental math instructional activity. Using the coding formula listed, children learn to fluently estimate...

The 28-page resource contains cards with terms relating to multiplication from inverse operations to front-end estimation to array. Each sheet contains two cards; one with the word and one with the definition.

A set of third grade math vocabulary cards include topics that range from addition properties to terms like estimate and fact family. Each sheet has two cards on it. The top half is the word printed in bold text,...

Looking for a set of math vocabulary cards for fourth graders? A 14-page packet of vocabulary words includes topics related to multiplication, division, and factor types. Each sheet has two cards on it: the top half has the word in...

Reinforce estimation and the four operations—addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division—with eight page, 15 problem independent practice exercise.

Help pupils explore estimation. They will make estimates and discuss when you might use an estimate. Then they discuss if their estimates are reasonable.

For this quadratic formula worksheet, students solve and complete 22 different types of problems. First, they solve each equation by completing the square and applying the quadratic formula. Then, students graph each function provided...

Students explore the additive identity property where they add multiple numbers to get to the number 6. In this number 6 lesson plan, students also work on their addition charts.

Develop young mathematicians' ability to compare fractions with investigation into the number 1/2. After brainstorming a list of fractions equivalent to 1/2, children identify a pattern in the numerators and...

Students explore the concepts of estimating and rounding. In this estimating and rounding lesson, students play a game of tic-tac-toe. Students pick items and must estimate their cost by rounding. Students estimate the costs of pretend...

Enhance math vocabulary instruction with a set of flash cards. The set displays words with bold font and corresponding picture cards with labels. Terms include estimate, regroup, round, add, and sum.

Fifth graders estimate perimeter, area, and volume. They measure perimeter and area using nonstandard units of measurement. Students add and subtract non-standard units of measurement. They add mixed numbers and simplify the sum.

Students use manipulatives to explore the notation of addition and gain experience with independent practice. They demonstrate their knowledge by performing the operation on the board with magnets, on their own felt work mat then on...

Students calculate the area under a curve. In this calculus lesson plan, students integrate the function to find the area under the curve. They use the Ti to create a visual of the graph.

First graders study number pairs and identify number pairs that sum to numbers from 10 to 30. They use number pairs to solve addition and subtraction problems. They make sensible estimates and check the reasonableness of answers.

Groups explore sets of 10 items in two varieties (i.e. 3 white buttons and 7 black ones, or 5 bears and 5 bunnies). They brainstorm about their objects, write math sentences to represent what they have, and report their discoveries...

A short video introduces place value in addition and subtraction. As a class, your students identify all even numbers up to one hundred and explain the pattern. They use addition strategies to fill in the missing numbers on the number grid.

Learners use mental math. They describe reasonable and unreasonable sums and differences. Students use mental math to find the sums and differences of addition and subtraction facts at random. They solve addition and subtraction facts...

Students practice finding the sums of two-one digit numbers. For this addition lesson plan, students also record facts onto an addition chart.

Students solve composition of functions. In this algebra lesson plan, students find the sum, difference and product of functions. They find the inverse of a function.

This unit on fractions allows for upper-aged elementary learners to explore ways to find the greatest common factor and least common multiple of two numbers. Ultimately, young mathematicians will be able to identify equivalent fractions,...

First graders practice rounding 4 digit numbers using place value concepts. In this estimating sums and differences lesson, 1st graders explore clustering, rounding, and front end estimation as methods for rounding decimals.
