Help your learners gain meaningful understanding of dividing fractions using fraction models. The activity includes nine problems which are sequenced to show how the fraction division algorithm evolves. Have students use graph paper or...

Forget your ID number? Your pupils learn to use logarithms to determine the number of digits or characters necessary to create individual ID numbers for all members of a group. 

Class members use the powers of multiplication in the 19th installment of the 32-part unit has individuals to utilize what they know about the multiplication of complex numbers to calculate the integral powers of a complex...

Choose the symbol; mathematicians can get confused between division and multiplication, so drill these skills with them. They examine 54 number sentences without a symbol, writing either the multiplication or division operation into the...

Explore the relationship between multiplication and division as scholars fill in these number sentences, each of which is missing a symbol. Is it a multiplication or division equation? There are 18 of these to start, all written...

Consider complex numbers, roots, and quadratic equations. Use the discriminate as a way to determine the nature of a quadratic's roots. Then discuss the similarities and differences between quadratics with two, one, or no real roots....

How many letters? Budding counters determine and record the number of letters in five messages trailing behind planes. The write down both the numeral and the word form; the highest number here is 19. Next, pupils fill in two blank...

Looking for an estimation activity a bit more involved than the typical "guess the number of jellybeans in the jar" game? Here, learners use a picture to estimate the number of people at a large event, look for potential problems with...

Here are some practical conversion scenarios for scholars to figure out. They examine an example table converting cents to dollars before completing two of their own. For the first, learners convert weeks to days. Some of these are done...

Multiplying by 10 is simple, but do your scholars know the trick? They look at four examples; if you haven't learned this yet, see if they notice a pattern in these answers. They multiply 70 numbers by 10. Most are two-digit, but a few...

An interesting series of puzzles and word games are available in this multi-page collection, which focuses on coal. Learners practice math and language arts skills as they solve the puzzles, and learn many facts about coal at the same time.

Learnersare given 26 tables and graphs in which they must fill in missing numbers and graph equations. They subtract a given value of x from a constant number, and use a number line to subtract larger numbers from smaller ones resulting...

Which symbol goes here? Mathematicians often get confused between division and multiplication, so drill these skills with them. They examine 48 number sentences without a symbol, writing either the multiplication or division operation...

Find the numbers that the sneaky snakes are hiding! Using a number table, primaries determine which numbers are covered up by snakes. They write in the numbers next to the matching snake below the table, which reinforces both...

How long do we have to wait? Given several days of times between eruptions of Old Faithful, learners create a graphical representation for two days. Groups combine their data to determine an appropriate wait time between eruptions.

A great worksheet for scaffolding critical thinking about mathematical concepts. This resource provides students with a brief explanation of multiples followed by 29 practice problems which gradually increase in difficulty. Several...

Practice writing numbers with fun kites. Kindergartners will rise to the highest height as they match the numbers to their correct written forms: 11 to eleven, 14 to fourteen, etc. Use this resource as a class activity or as a review...

Don't let a little challenge get between your pupils and their learning! Scholars compare two absolute value functions to recognize patterns and use them to build their own functions with outputs that are between the given. They then...

Here's a perfect way to introduce perfect squares. Individuals color in the diagonals of squares and record observations about patterns. They connect their diagrams to exponents of two and perfect squares.

These caterpillars each have a number sequence printed on their segmented bodies, but some numbers are missing! Look at the completed caterpillars as an example, asking kids to notice a possible pattern. They should observe that the...

Can your class write linear equations three different ways? Here is a study guide that includes slope-intercept, standard, and point-slope forms. Learners are given the slope and a point on the line, or two points and are asked to write...

We are used to finding the area of a circle by plugging the radius into an equation. Here, learners are required to go further to find multiple areas and calculate the difference. They must detect a pattern in order to figure out the...

Just how big would it really be? Young mathematicians determine if different toys are proportional and if their scale is accurate. They solve problems relating scale along with volume and surface area using manipulatives. The...

How do we determine how much information to include and what can be left out? By playing a game of 20 questions, the class generates the best strategies for finding a number. They then move on to guessing the next letter in a short...
