In order to create some tasty fudge, learners must adapt a recipe. Using a recipe for fudge, ingredients must be correctly converted using fractions. If one fraction is incorrect, the fudge will reveal it! Although you will only make one...

What will be on the test? The resource provides comprehensive review items for the content of the unit on exponents. The resource divides the sections in the order you present the lessons during the unit. 

It's time to show off what they learned! The final lesson in the series is a review worksheet on the topics learned throughout the unit. Scholars solve systems of equations using graphic and algebraic methods, solve system-based word...

What's similar about congruent and similar polygons? Young mathematicians first measure the side lengths and angles of given figures. They use these measurements to determine relationships between side lengths and angles of congruent and...

Apply systems of inequalities to a real-world problem. Here, scholars learn to graph solutions to systems of linear inequalities. To finish the lesson, they solve a problem involving burgers and cheeseburgers using a system of inequalities.

An inquiry-based algebra lesson explores real-world applications of linear functions. Scholars investigate four different situations that can be modeled by linear functions, identifying the rate of change, as well as the...

Two activities explore the concept of size, especially small sizes down to the nano. Scholars practice determining volume, mass, and density and calculate exponential increases and decreases. They then predict and test the effect of size...

What are the chances? Teach your classes to answer this question using mathematics. The first part of a three-day lesson on determining significance differences in experimental data prompts learners to analyze the data by...
