If there is a conditional statement, then there is a hypothesis and conclusion. Pupils learn how to identify the parts of conditional statements. Class members continue to work with conditional statements and rewrite them in their many...

There are many ways to work through a multiplication problem. Using an area model, kids complete several worksheets with different types of multiplication problems, including multiplying by ten, and explain how the new strategies differ...

Welcome to the backward world of negative numbers. This introductory lesson teaches young mathematicians that negative numbers are simply the opposite of positive numbers as they use number lines to plot and compare...

The concept of absolute value can be difficult for learners to grasp. Reinforce their understanding of a basic absolute value expression and connect it to solving equations and inequalities. Scholars write two equations/inequalities to...

Fourth graders create an original math problem with a detailed solution key relative to their chosen career fields.

Students practice memorizing the seven days of the week and keeping them in order.  For this calendar lesson, students read aloud the book Today is Monday by Eric Carle, and create their own calendar style book using...

Students apply the substitution process to solve equations with more than one variable. They explore how to use the process and when it should be used.

Mathematicians use an inquiry method to solve linear equations. In this linear equations lesson, students practice solving equations using addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. They solve multi-step equations and equations...

Number whizzes investigate integers by arranging them in a specific order. They utilize whole numbers which are given to them and then put them in order up to 100.  They also practice using "greater than" or "lesser than" symbols.

Students study taxes and the role that they place in our lives. In this economic lesson, students explore the reality of taxes, how they work, why we pay them, where the money goes and how to make the most of the money you pay into taxes...

Eighth graders graph two inequalities with a single variable. They include drawing the intersection or union of inequalities on a number line. Students solve the linear equations using properties of equality and inequality. The...

Students listen to the book Five Little Monkeys Sitting In a Tree, identify written numbers 0-9 and the symbol for subtraction; students subtract two single digit numbers using manipulatives, and recite the corresponding number sentence.

Students look for patterns to solve problems involving statistics using different colored gumballs. They should be able to look for and find out all the possible outcomes based upon inference and trials.

Students explore how to logically sort and store information in order to make it easy to manage and easily retrieved. They explore methods they can use to organize and manage information.

Students interpret information and results in context while using words and symbols to generalize patterns. They use symmetry and angle properties of polygons to solve practical problems and identifying invariant properties under...

Learners listen to the problem read to them. They answer some simple questions using number sentences. They then compose a written record of the solution and share their approaches used.

Students use the Pythagorean Theorem to explore sailboat design. In this Pythagorean Theorem lesson, two sides of a triangular sail are measured, and the theorem is used to calculate the third side. A worksheet, bulletin board design,...

Fourth graders discuss the various attributes of quadrilaterals. In groups, they use the attributes to sort quadrilaterals into different classes and a hierarchy. They review the new vocabulary and attributes with a partner to end the...

Third graders measure their feet and their parents' feet, record data on computer-generated graphs, and calculate and record mean, median, and mode.

Students determine how many number cards are needed to display the dates of the month. In this place value notation lesson plan, students write numbers on blank cards to see how many are needed of each number to makes all the...

Students secure information online using cryptography. For this algebra lesson, students use RSA technology to encrypt information on the internet. They use modular reduction of natural numbers to understand prime number theory.

Pupils analyze graphs for specific properties. In this algebra lesson plan, students solve equations and graph using the TI calculator. They find the different changes that occur in each graph,including maximum and minimum.

Students use a variety of strategies to figure out the cost of baseball tickets. They use a combination chart, notebook notation, etc. to find the cost of their family to attend a Cardinal's game in St. Louis.
