There are three parts to this lesson on integers. In the first, learners explore positive and negative numbers on an actual painter's tape number line and by playing a "Hot Seat" game. In part two, they view a BrainPop video and work...

How many items can your learners find that are approximately one inch in length or width? Using this graphic organizer, they find nine, labeling and drawing each. A line that is 1-inch is provided at the bottom of the page, or you could...

Send your scholars on a measuring scavenger hunt with this interactive worksheet! They use a graphic organizer to record their findings as they search for items which are less than, more than, or just about one inch long. For each, they...

It's all about decimals in these word problems, which have scholars apply math to scenarios they will likely come across later in life. Working with multi-digit numbers and decimals to the hundredths place, learners must determine the...

Four polygons each have a fraction with unlike denominators printed on them. Creative math minds select several shapes to create a design with and then write and solve a math problem involving the addition of all of the fractions...

Dominoes, polyominoes, tetrominoes, and pentominoes are the subject of this interesting math activity designed for middle schoolers. Pupils cut out shapes that are embedded in a worksheet in the plan, and experiment with them by...

Students explore math functions by completing worksheets in class. In this word problem lesson plan, students read the story A Remainder of One and practice solving division problems from the story. Students complete a worksheet which...

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...

Middle schoolers explore how a pattern built with square tiles grows and describe the change from stage to stage. They predict later stages of a tile design sequence and create math equations related to the growth of tile designs.

Students explore how some tilings can display rotational and/or reflection symmetry in addition to translational symmetry. Students demonstrate how these tilings can be generated using either one of the symmetry concepts and Zome System...

In this math worksheet, students take an assessment test of 8 problems related to the construction field of work. Students examine scale drawings and answer questions about area, perimeter and purchasing construction materials.

Learners analyze symmetries of quadrilateral tilings and discover how various types of symmetries, used alone or in combination, can generate the same pattern in more than one way.

Sixth graders evaluate algebraic expressions. In this introduction to algebra lesson plan, 6th graders use manipulatives (algebra tiles) to solve problems involving one and two variables. Students apply this knowledge to real life...

Ninth graders investigate multiplication of binomials and factoring of trinomials.  In this Algebra I lesson, 9th graders compare and contrast expansion and factoring using algebra tiles and a TI-89.

Fifth graders practice, with spreadsheets, to demonstrate how to determine the number of tiles needed to create a patio. They use pictures and gathered data to determine a pattern that can be used to solve problems. Students create a...

Students explore perimeter and area of rectangles. In this rectangular lesson, students use tiles to discover the formulas for perimeter and area. Students solve for area.

Students recognize patterns and represent situations using algebraic notation and variables. In this variables and patterns lesson plan, students identify a pattern involving the number of tiles required to form a border around a pool...

Students use algebra tiles to identify the binomial factors and the graphing calculator to verify the result. In addition, they will identify the x-intercepts and y-intercepts of each trinomial function and explore relationships between...

Fourth graders use manipulatives to practice math patterns.

Middle and high schoolers investigate how to solve inequalities. The lesson has a good guide for taking pupils through a direct instruction of the concept. You can use counting tiles in order to help kinesthetic learners.

I would consider this an outline and not a complete lesson. It would take a little work on your part because you would need to look on the internet for examples of Ojibwe art to show your pupils. They could explore the patterns that the...

Students explore quilting. In this math patterns lesson plan, students define the perimeter of a quilt border, create tessellations using geometric shapes, and detemine the area of a quilt.

Represent 10 algebraic equations using algebra tiles using this hands-on activity sheet.  Your class will solve 10 algebraic equations using the algebra tiles.

Here is a good fractions lesson which invites learners to fold paper strips to represent an equivalent fraction to the fraction model using chips or tiles displayed on the overhead. They arrange chips to represent a given fraction.
