Fourth graders practice a wide range of strategies for solving addition and subtraction problems containing decimal fractions. They add and subtract fractions, decimals and integers while generalizing the properties of operations with...

Students apply the properties of a right triangle. In this triangle lesson, students describe and compare radians to degrees. They solve problems using the properties and ratios of a right triangle.

Don't cover up this resource — use it out in the open! Pupils learn how to cover up various parts of a linear equation in order to help solve the equation. A worksheet of problems provides practice with this skill.

Do properties of equations hold true for inequalities? Teach solving inequalities through the theme of properties. Your class discovers that the multiplication property of equality doesn't hold true for inequalities when multiplying by a...

In this calculus worksheet, students solve 10 different problems that include determining the first derivative in each. First, they apply properties of logarithmic functions to expand the right side of each equation. Then, students...

Number towers use addition or multiplication to ensure each level is equal. While this is common in factoring, it is often not used with algebraic equations. Solving these six questions relies on problem solving skills and being able to...

Having a good working knowledge of math vocabulary is so important for learners as they progress through different levels of mathematical learning. Here is 125 pages worth of wonderfully constructed vocabulary and concept review cards....

Use the handout as guided or independent practice in drawing a reflection of a rectangle over a line. Three rectangles are provided for practice in addition to a critical thinking question.

In this Algebra I learning exercise, 9th graders identify properties from the real number system and use the distributive property to collect simplify expressions with parentheses.  The one page interactive learning exercise...

In this properties worksheet, students complete 4 matching problems regarding recognizing properties. Students then simplify 10 problems by combining like terms.

Third graders practice counting and multiplying by three. In this multiplication lesson plan, 3rd graders review the pattern of multiples of two and are shown the additive property of 3's. Students practice using a number chart to...

In this math activity, students are given 30 problems to solve involving the distributive property, variables, parentheses, and area problems. The final set of problems asks students to solve problems mentally, without writing them down,...

Middle and high schoolers explore the concept of proving the Pythagorean Theorem. They research proofs of the Pythagorean Theorem. Pupils create posters of proofs, and research Greek mathematicians.

With this interactive lesson, learners compute the surface area of rectangular prisms. They visit an online investigation applet and record data on the provided handout. Pair this lesson with the volume lesson by the same publisher as an...
