In this multiplication worksheet, 3rd graders practice basic facts by finding the products in 35 horizontal and vertical problems. They work with facts from 3 to 9.

In this solving equations by factoring learning exercise, students solve and complete 10 different problems. First, they solve each equation using the Zero product property. Then, students define a variable and use an equation to solve...

Linear equations are the focus of activities that ask learners to first complete a task that involves interpreting algebraic expressions and solving linear equations. They then take part in a card activity matching...

Try to figure out what happens with shadows as a person moves between two light sources. A formative assessment lesson has individuals work on an assessment task based on similar triangles, then groups them based on their...

Geometric figures are perfect to use for proofs. Scholars prove conjectures about whether given points lie on a triangle and about midpoints. They use a provided dialogue among fictional students to frame their responses.

Don't think negatively about exponents. Young mathematicians dissect a fictional conversation between pupils trying to evaluate an expression with a negative exponent. This allows them to understand the meaning of negative exponents.

Parallelograms are pairs of triangles all the way around. Pupils measure to determine the area and perimeter of a parallelogram. They then find the area of the tirangles formed by drawing a diagonal of the parallelogram and compare their...

Bring some concrete reasoning to the skills of multiplying and combining terms. Using various strategies, the six activities in the module provide practice for the skills of adding, subtracting, multiplying, and diving polynomials. The...

Learners tackle a wide range of intimidating topics in this comprehensive unit that spans piecewise functions, absolute value of functions, and inverse functions (among other topics). Investigative group work alternates with more...

Welcome to the backward world of negative numbers. This introductory lesson teaches young mathematicians that negative numbers are simply the opposite of positive numbers as they use number lines to plot and compare...

Leave no student behind with this differentiated geometry unit on perimeter and area. Over the course of five lessons, young mathematicians explore these foundational concepts through a series of self-selected hands-on activities and...

Don't rush into algebra, let learners visualize, guess, and predict their way to a successful math career. The introductory unit incorporates beginner algebraic concepts with shapes instead of variables. Young mathematicians use a...

How can art represent math? Use a instructional activity on place value collages to illustrate the different meanings that numbers have in their designated places. Kids observe photographs and paintings that show place value, then work...

Provide families with the guidance needed to support their child's proficiency in multiplying numbers. Three pages offer detailed descriptions and labeled examples.  

Challenge your classes to combine geometric and algebraic concepts with an activity that builds on concepts learned in the first three lessons of the series. The fourth part asks scholars to identify geometric angle relationships and use...

Change the way you teach about rewriting expressions. A diagnostic task asks learners to transform expressions in different ways. Given two linear expressions and two quadratic expressions, they rewrite them into the indicated forms.

The truth will always come out. A short performance task has learners considering a witness statement given to a detective. They apply special line segments in triangles and Ceva's Theorem to prove that the witness is actually lying.

Currently, only 2.1% of global warming is felt on continents, while over 93% is felt in the oceans. The fourth lesson in the series of 21 on global warming is composed of three activities that build off one another. In the first...

Students describe, make and compare polygons. In this creating polygons lesson, students identify properties of quadrilaterals and describe common features of two dimensional shapes.

Eighth graders review their examineing about numbers and number systems through playing the Number Game. They create a list of numbers and based upon the characteristics and properties of the numbers they earn points.

Young scholars participate in a unit on triangles. Through the unit they explore different way to make basic shapes using triangles. They also examine the basic properties of triangles and the relationships among basic geometrical shapes...

Ninth graders discuss the real number system and its' properties. In this algebra activity, 9th graders discuss rational, irrational, closure, real numbers and the distributive property of algebra. They solve problems using these...

Students solve the area for parallelograms,squares, rectangles, trapezoids, and triangles. In this geometry lesson, students compare and contrast two dimensional shapes and apply their properties to solving real life scenarios. This is a...

Sixth graders practice creating and solving number sentences on a calculator. They interact with number facts, their properties, algorithms and estimation. Each student recognizes inverse relationships of addition, subtraction,...
