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

Twenty-eight flashcards make up a set designed to reinforce math vocabulary. Two styles of cards showcase either a bold-faced word or a corresponding definition card equipped with an example and labels. Terms include commutative property...

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,...

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.

In this math activity, students are given 30 problems to solve involving the distributive property, variables, parentheses, and area problems. The final set of problems asks students to solve problems mentally, without writing them down,...

Students find triangular angles using the angle theorem. In this geometry instructional activity, students describe labeled triangles, use the pythagorean theorem, and rewrite information about triangles in standard form.

Students discuss the importance of fundamental theorems in math. In this calculus instructional activity, students define the fundamental theorem of calculus and discuss why it is so important they understand it. They work problems to...

Teach children how to make a multiplication table, and they'll be multiplying for life. Following this series of steps, young mathematicians learn to use patterns and the relationships between numbers to create...

Second graders examine the commutative property of addition and the property of zero in addition and subtraction. They complete an asessment worksheet to gain practice reading and working number sentences horizontally and vertically.

Take young scholars on a trip through history with this unit on the mathematics and architecture of the Mayan civilization. Starting with a introduction to their base twenty number system and the symbols they used, this eight-lesson unit...

Pupils describe shapes to their classmates using specific properties and practice making triangles on geoboards. For this geoboards lesson plan, students use string on the geoboards.

Students apply the properties of a right triangle. In this triangle lesson, students describe and compare radians to degrees. They solve problems using the properties and ratios of a right triangle.
