Use paper strips or models to relate division problems to division of fraction problems. Since the materials can be broken up, it helps them to show how they can complete repeated subtraction with fractions and not just whole numbers.

Sixth graders will practice dealing with whole numbers using the order of operations and performing calculations using the four basic operations. The lesson also includes practical investigation into the use of rational numbers.

Students explore the concept of probability.  In this probability lesson, students use area to determine probability.  Students use charts and spinners to help determine the probability of events such as flipping a coin or...

With so many math standards to fit into a school year, it can be difficult keeping track of what you have and have not covered. This collection of Common Core checklists allows you to maintain a running record of when each...

Find the best protein-packed cereal. The short assessment task covers equivalent and comparing ratios within a context. Pupils determine the cereal with the highest ratio of protein. A rubric helps teachers with point allotments for...

Translate the Common Core math standards into a series of achievable "I can" statements with this collection of classroom displays. Offering posters for each standard, this resource is a great way to support your seventh graders as...

Deepen the fractional number sense of young learners with this introductory instructional activity on equivalent fractions. After completing a short warm-up activity, children go on to work in pairs using fraction circles to...

In this addition and subtraction learning exercise, students find the sums and differences of positive and negative numbers. Students solve thirteen problems.

Students add and subtract integers. In this algebra lesson plan, students discuss number sense as they sort numbers in the correct order. They analyze and label numbers differentiating between rational and irrational numbers.

Ninth graders add and subtract polynomials.  In this Algebra I lesson plan, 9th graders work practice problems as they view a PowerPoint presentation of the lesson plan.  Both the horizontal and vertical methods of addition and...

Make connections between vectors and matrices through multiplication. Scholars use the interactive to view the effect of multiplying a matrix by a scalar. The interactive displays the resulting matrix and its corresponding column vectors...

In this radicals instructional activity, 9th graders identify and solve 21 different problems that include various simple radical forms. First, they determine if there is a radical in the denominator. Then, students rationalize the...

A thorough and professional appearance characterizes a lesson on linear equations. Maturing mathematicians are taught to identify and exemplify linear equations with a single variable. They also classify equations according to the number...

Your sixth and seventh graders deepen their understanding of a number line and adding integers in this concrete, hands-on activity. Learners play "Warehouse Puzzle" and then discuss their game strategies and the characteristics...

This unit on integers includes a pre-test, a post-test, four spreadsheets, and links to an interactive web-site to support the learning of integer operations. Access to computers and the Internet are imperative to this unit. The lessons...

Your young apprentices build a function describing the percent concentration of salt in a brine. The rational function is then related to the parent function, y= 1/x, and graphed. Finally, the apprentices predict the amount of fresh...

Explore the joy of math with you little learners! They practice creating math problems with numbers from a fact family using numbers 1-10. They work independently with a set of connecting cubes to aid them in creating number sentences...

Exponentially increase your pupils' understanding of exponents with an activity that asks them to explore the meaning of exponential notation. Scholars learn how to use exponential notation and understand its necessity. They use negative...

In this integers worksheet, students use the integer number line to solve the problems as they add and subtract positive and negative numbers. They find the answers to 10 questions.

Students demonstrate how to add positive integers. In this computation instructional activity, students read the book Less Than Zero and use a number line and counters to play an addition game using positive integers.

Students differentiate between perfect roots and rational roots. In this algebra lesson, students perform operation using roots. They add, subtract, multiply and divide rational expressions.

Students name numbers to 30, use the number keys on the computer, use manipulatives to add, and add numbers in any order. In this addition lesson plan, students learn the language of sum, equals, and a plus sign.

Young scholars identify integers as rational and irrational numbers. In this algebra lesson, students measure and construct number lines using positive and negative integers. They convert between decimals and fractions.

In this fractions worksheet, learners put fractions into their simplest form, write as improper fractions, add and subtract, estimate amounts, and more. They complete 31 problems.
