Help learners use a variety of methods to identify, visualize, and simplify polynomials with like terms. Several different visuals are used to introduce the instructional activity, such as colored pencils, overheads, interactive white...

Young mathematicians examine the "Tic-tac-toe" factoring method to factor polynomials. They use algebra tiles to model solutions of binomial multiplication problems. They discuss strategies and observe teacher-made models for solving...

Put out by Texas Instruments, this lesson plan involves learners in an activity focused on adding polynomials, solving equations, factoring trinomials, and expanding binomials. A TI-89 calculator is needed to complete this lesson plan.

Learners factor polynomials and use long division t solve problems. In this algebra lesson, students find the zeros of polynomials by synthetic and long division. They perform operation using complex numbers.

Expand your knowledge of exponents with an activity that promotes critical thinking and comparison skills. Middle and high schoolers compare numbers written in expanded and exponential form and explain their strategies for solving...

Factor polynomials using electronic manipulatives. Your class will create a spreadsheet in excel and use it to multiply and perform basic operations and solve problems correctly. They create a visual to go along with each multiplication...

Eighth graders complete problems where they use the definition of exponents to expand the squaring function of natural numbers. In this squaring natural numbers lesson plan, 8th graders also identify squares form 0 - 12 and complete a...

Wow! Here is a handout packed full of tips and worked-out solutions to supplement instruction on fractional exponents. The instructional activity introduces and thoroughly explains the Algebra...

Young scholars practice continuous probability distributions. For this probability lesson, students calculate probability, use probability functions, and use rectangular distribution.

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

Students draw conclusions and make conjectures given a specific scenario. In this geometry instructional activity, students model real life scenarios using properties of triangles. They model number facts and explain why the outcome is...

Learners use shapes and manipulatives to demonstrate patterns. In this patterns lesson plan, students also break up patterns to identify a pattern unit.
