A comprehensive guide for learning all about exponents, squares, and cubes with definitions, properties, solved examples, and practice questions.

If you're the kind of person who has taken apart your Rubik's cube in order to grease the inside parts so it will move more smoothly, this could be a great project for you. This will show you three sets of move sequences that accomplish...

Use this applet to determine the volume of a box by filling it with cubes, rows of cubes, or layers of cubes. Determine the surface area as well by using the box's net.

This section expands on the process of factoring to certain types of polynomials. In particular, it investigates how to find the sum and difference of cubed numbers and terms, and it will use volume of cubes to model this process.

Revealing multiple ways to find volume using a Rubik's cube. This video focuses on modeling volume and explaining why two different volume equations will give you the same answer.

Were off to get the measure, the wonderful measure of side! The students will identify the longest side of an object and measure its length with a variety of non standard units.

This interactive exercise focuses on discovering the relationships between two and three-dimensional shapes.

This complete lesson plan has students answer word problems using addition and subtraction within 20.

Calculate the density of cubes made of different materials to determine what type of material it contains. Using this information explain that the size, mass, and arrangement of the atoms or molecules of a substance determines its density.

Did you know that the five regular platonic solids (tetrahedron, octahedron, icosahedron, cube, and dodecahedron) were thought to represent earth, air, fire, water, and the universe? This chart shows an image and provides a description...

A Platonic solid is a polyhedron made up of only one kind of regular polygon, that looks the same from every direction. (In other words, the same number of faces meet at every vertex.) There are only five different Platonic solids:...

A detailed explanation of polynomials and like terms is followed with many examples of how to add and subtract them. Lessons for the teacher as well as interactive examples for the students provide plenty of opportunities for practice....

This page give a nice definition of Java applets and two examples of an applet. Download the files and try it yourself!

This activity gives students practice counting for meaning using unifix cubes or snap cubes. Students will count the number of unifix cubes then match the rod up to the correct number on a number line. Extension activities are included.

One could say that snowflakes are simply frozen water - but if you compare a snowflake to an ice cube, you'll notice a big difference. Why are all snowflakes six-sided? Why are none of them exactly the same? And how do we ski on them?...

Learn about platonic solids, a special type of polyhedra. Read a definition, make three-dimensional models using printouts, and play with an interactive animation, which will show you the faces, vertices, and edges on platonic solids:...

This lesson poses the question "can you always take something apart and put it together in different ways?". Students will take part in designing an investigation using snap cubes to help figure out an answer. Videos of the lesson in...

It's getting buggy! Students use unifix cubes as their non-standard measurement tool.

Lesson plans for many student activities which introduce the concept of polyhedra into the classroom. Some activities can be accomplished by hand with paper, pencils, and scissors, but the unit works best if the students can regularly...

Provides a thorough lesson on radical equations. Explains what radical equations are and provides many different examples on how to solve different types of radical equations.

Students will practice counting from 1-30 and having one-to-one correspondence with objects for these numbers. Also, they will practice finding patterns on a hundreds chart. This lesson includes a detailed plan, videos of students...

This comprehensive study guide highlights the main terms and formulas needed to review irrational numbers and radicals. Examples are included.
