Squares can be magic. Pupils use their knowledge of addition of positive and negative rational numbers to create a 3 X 3 magic square where the sums are 1. Scholars create addition and multiplication expressions with a set of rational...

Add, subtract, multiply, and divide fractions with a learning exercise designed to give your learners practice performing fraction operations. 

Mathematics involves a study of patterns. The exploratory lesson has learners consider the addition pattern in different sets of numbers. Each set has a different pattern that pupils describe mathematically. The patterns involve...

You can't evaluate an irrational root expression without a calculator—or can you? Scholars estimate the value of roots within an expression to approximate the value of the expression. Expressions include a mix of square roots and whole...

All of these fraction pairs have common denominators, so adding them up is a bit simpler. There are two examples demonstrating both a mixed number and reducing to simplest terms. Scholars add up 28 fraction pairs, simplifying when...

Add some randomization into simulations. The 11th installment in a series of 25 presents two new methods to use in simulations--colored disks, and random numbers. Pupils use random numbers to run simulations where the probabilities make...

Give mathematicians 39 chances to practice adding fractions, most of which involve mixed numbers. There are three examples to get them started, and scholars should be encouraged to reduce answers when necessary. Not for beginners, these...

Have crumpets with the queen! Kindergartners count the number of crumpets on each plate - all add up to six - and write the correct number in the space provided. They then copy a dominoes pattern for different ways to add up to six, and...

Middle and high schoolers complete and solve 12 various types of problems. First, they express the output as a function of the input in each table. Then, pupils evaluate for the given variable when the value is as stated. In addition,...

This is a great math station partner game! Using the provided ten-frame cards, learners practice creating addition problems with a sum of 5. Each card has a number between 0 and 5, and pairs shuffle and lay out five of them. They take...

Sometimes it's necessary to view the whole picture before making a judgment about a small part. Read a short story about five blind men who try to identify an elephant by feeling different parts and coming to their own conclusions....

In this finding the product worksheet, students multiply two-digit numbers times two-digit tenths and add a decimal to the answers. Students solve 49 problems.

For this common denominator worksheet, students learn to add three fractions using common denominators. Students then practice by adding and subtracting fractions using common denominators.

In this fraction addition worksheet, students learn to use shaded parts of a whole to help them add like fractions. Students write addition sentences and the answer in the first set. In the second set, students shade parts of the whole...

In this one-digit vertical addition worksheet, students add pairs of numbers to find the sums to seventeen. Students solve 12 problems.

In this algebra worksheet, students solve problems using the 4 different properties of numbers. They apply associative, commutative, additive and distributive properties to each equation. There are 10 multiple choice questions with an...

In this math instructional activity, learners solve thirty addition problems. In each problem, students add two different one-digit numbers.

In this fossil worksheet, students are given a page of bones to cut out and assemble. They create an animal with the bones and add external features to their animal. They answer questions and present their creature to the class.

This is a great puzzle like challenge for your advanced learners. They are given 5 problems to solve, they must show how many ways they can make to provided number using the given numbers in the box. For example: To make 800 they need to...

Pupils experience math functions as they practice their addition and subtraction skills, and fill in each table based on a given rule. There are two columns in each of the four tables. The in column is already completed and...

Use number lines to help scholars add and subtract time as they solve five word problems. Each scenario gives a starting or ending time and several tasks that take specified amounts of time. Scholars mark the number line to determine...
