Studying function means more than simply learning a formula. Learners must use functions to think through four problems and find solutions. Each task utilizes a different concept from a study of functions. Class members might...

The game should be fair at all costs. The mini-assessment revolves around the ability to use probabilities to determine whether a game is fair. Individuals determine compound events to calculate simple probabilities and make...

Determine the probability that the class knows probability. The three-question assessment presents problems with finding the sample space and the probability, theoretical and experimental, of a variety of situations. Pupils also describe...

Individuals learn how to plot rational numbers on the number line in the sixth lesson of a 21-part module. They identify appropriate units and determine opposites of rational numbers.

What happens when combining percentage discounts? The last lesson in a series of 29 introduces the idea of combining discounts one after another. Pupils wrestle with the claim that to find the total discount, they need to only add...

Build upon prior equation writing experience to create more complicated equations. Lesson one in a 33-part unit builds upon the class members' sixth and seventh grade experience of writing linear equations. Several examples...

For some, probability is a losing proposition. The assessment item requires an understanding of fraction operations, probability, and fair games. Pupils determine the fractional portions of an event. They continue to determine whether...

Building upon previous knowledge of sequences, collaborative pairs analyze sequences to determine the type and to make predictions of future terms. The exercises build through arithmetic and geometric sequences before introducing...

Remodeling projects require more than just a good design — they involve complex fractions, too. To determine whether a tiling project will fit within a given budget pupils calculate the square footage to determine the number of...

Determine the difference between a sample statistic and a population characteristic. Pupils learn about populations and samples in the 14th portion in a unit of 25. Individuals calculate information directly from populations called...

The 19th installment in a 25-part series builds upon the sampling from the previous unit and takes a larger sample. Pupils compare the dot plots of sample means using two different sample sizes to find which one has the better variability.

Determine whether there is a difference between two grades. Teams generate random samples of two grade levels of individuals. Groups use the mean absolute deviation to determine whether there is a meaningful difference between the...

What city has the most consistent temperatures? Pupils use the mean and mean absolute deviation to describe various data sets including the average temperature in several cities. The 10th lesson in the 22-part series asks learners to...

The 17th lesson plan in a unit of 22 presents asks the class to conduct a statistics project. Pupils review the first two steps of the process of asking a question and collecting data. They then begin the process by developing...

Decide which concentration of mixtures is the strongest. Pupils use tables to compare ratios involved in mixtures. They use two methods to make the comparisons — by finding equivalent values within the tables or by comparing the...

Represent multiplication as sets of items for beginners to this concept. They look at six familiar object sets and determine the total number of legs by counting the sets. There is some scaffolding here, as the first is done for them and...

A set of 18 winter-themed multiplication and division word problems is perfect for your math centers right before the holidays. Each problem is numbered and represented on a task card. Young mathematicians write their answers on a...

Review for the test with a comprehensive list of terms and concepts for the unit on congruence and similarity. It divides divides the sections in the order of the lessons presented during the unit. 

How much do you know about exponents? The pre-test covers the concepts of integer exponents with both numerical and algebraic one-variable expressions. The test is also over representing numbers in scientific notation, operating with...

Keep your pets slim, trim, and healthy using mathematics! Pupils use a linear programming model to optimize the amount and type of food to provide to a pet rabbit. They model constraints by graphing inequalities and use them to analyze a...

See how well learners know how to solve expressions using the order of operations. Use this packet that includes 28 task cards that requires pupils to evaluate expressions with variables, solve expressions using the correct...

In this more or less worksheet, students circle the group in each problem that has less than the other group. Students complete 4 problems.

In this counting and comparing numbers worksheet, students count the object groups in 3 problems. Students identify the group in each problem that has more objects than the other 2 groups.

In this counting and comparing numbers worksheet, students count the object pairs in 2 problems. Students identify the group in each pair that has more objects than the other.
