Third graders explore mathematics by solving problems in groups. In this math functions lesson, 3rd graders demonstrate their understanding of addition and subtraction by completing two digit math problems. Students define a list of math...

Budding mathematicians investigate how to write number sentences using the Roll-the-Dice tool in "Kid Pix". They correlate the dots on the dice to numbers and then learn to use the addition and equal symbols to write number sentences....

Can they put it all together? Ninth graders apply what they know about proofs and triangle congruence to complete these proofs. These proofs go beyond the basic triangle congruence proofs and use various properties, theorems, and...

For use with a TI-nspire calculator, this instructional activity focuses on adding and subtracting polynomials. Learners use calculator to add and subtract polynomials using both the vertical method horizontal methods. A class discussion...

Learn the ins and outs of matrix multiplication. After discovering the commutative property does not apply to matrix multiplication in a previous lesson in the series, pupils now test the associative and distributive properties. The...

Elasticity and viscosity. Help your class understand the similarities and differences with an introduction to viscous fluids. After describing four types of fluid behaviors: shear thinning, shear thickening, Bringham plastic,...

Addition and subtraction are studied in this math lesson. Upper graders add and subtract whole numbers up to 1,000 with and without regrouping.

From the apple on your desk and the coffee cup in your hand, to the cabinets along the classroom wall, basic three-dimensional shapes are found everywhere in the world around us. Introduce young mathematicians to the these common figures...

In addition to the catchy title, this lesson plan provides upper graders an opportunity to more closely scrutinize the attributes of plane figures. In particular, they focus on the similarity of different shapes. Both whole-class and...

Students measure angles using a plane table kit. In this geometry lesson, students use trigonometric identities to find the values of the length of a football field.

How do I solve a two-digit multiplication problem? Your class tackles this question by walking through problem solving methods. They first investigates and applies traditional multiplication methods, and they then compare those with...

First graders investigate the Commutative Property of Addition. It is introduced using models such as students, counters, balances and dominoes. They discover the order of the numbers in an addition sentence does not change the result...

Students estimate and measure triangles. In this geometry lesson plan, students identify the relationship between three sides and a triangle. They use the inequality theorem to decide if a triangle will be formed or not.

Students play a PowerPoint activity to be used as a review of basic skills for order of operations, and the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division for whole numbers, some fractional numbers and integers....

In this math worksheet, young scholars solve the problems using the addition and multiplication properties of equality. Then the solutions are found for the variables.

Seventh graders solve inequalities using addition and subtraction. They write number sentences based on word problems.

In this math worksheet, students use the distributive property to complete computation with radicals. Students multiply pairs of binomials that have the square root sign in each pair.

Eighth graders use the order of operation correctly. In this algebra lesson plan, 8th graders solve integers using the order of operation. They apply the commutative as well as the associate property to solve problems correctly.

Second graders use data to graph information and draw conclusions. For this lesson on data analysis, 2nd graders practice gathering, sorting, comparing, and graphing data. Students differentiate data that can and cannot change over time.

Livestock managers reinforce math and science skills while learning about the nutrients found in manure. They predict which animal produces the largest amount and which animal's manure contains the most nitrogen. Finally, they compare...

Students participate in an adding game. In this adding numbers lesson, students calculate the sum of the dice and remove a number from their activity sheet.  Students who first removes the numbers is the winner.

First graders practice modeling addition. In this hands-on addition lesson plan, 1st graders are introduced to the Commutative Property of Addition and the Zero Property of Addition through modeling and the use of manipulatives. This...

Seventh graders define the commutative and associate properties and extend commutativity and associativity to objects. They define rational numbers and review the order of operations and multiplying/dividing integers chart. In addition,...

Solve systems of equation problems using four different methods: elimination by addition or subtraction, graphing, elimination by multiplication, and substitution. Middle schoolers are then given a series of "missions" to complete.
