Algebraic Expressions—The Distributive Property
Do your classes truly understand the distributive property? Use a demonstrative lesson to represent the distributive property in various ways. Learners solidify understanding by creating a geometric pattern for distributive...

Equivalent Rational Expressions
Rational expressions are just fancy fractions! Pupils apply fractions concepts to rational expressions. They find equivalent expressions by simplifying rational expressions using factoring. They include limits to the domain of the...

Euler’s Number, e
Scholars model the height of water in a container with an exponential function and apply average rates of change to this function. The main attraction of the instructional activity is the discovery of Euler's number.
Bowland
Three of a Kind
One is chance, two is a coincidence, three's a pattern. Scholars must determine similarities and differences of a regular hexagon undergoing dilation. They look at lengths, angles, areas, and symmetry.

Analyzing Decisions and Strategies Using Probability 1
Learn how to increase the probability of success. The 19th installment of a 21-part module teaches future mathematicians how to use probability to analyze decisions. They determine strategies to maximize the chances of a desired outcome.
Curated OER
Triangle Series
Your algebra learners emphasize the"geometric" in geometric series as they use a common ratio between algebraic terms and find that it corresponds to a repeated similarity transformation.
Illustrative Mathematics
Similar Circles
Young geometers flex their transformation muscles in this brief but powerful exercise using dilations and translations to develop the similarity of circles. The plan provides guidelines to help learners navigate a pair of...

Why Does SSS Work?
While it may seem incredibly obvious to the geometry student that congruent sides make congruent triangles, the proving of this by definition actually takes a bit of work. This exercise steps the class through this kind of proof by...

Mixed Fraction Sequences
In this math learning exercise, students complete the mixed fractions that are sorted into a sequence. The sheet is intended as a teacher's guide.
Curated OER
Decimal Sequences
In this math worksheet, students solve the problems that are intended to focus upon he sequences of decimals. The sheet is a teacher's guide.
Curated OER
Multiplicative Sequences
Students investigate the concepts related to the practice of multiplication facts. They look for number patterns in order to create an algorithm in order to find the correct sequencing of number patterning. The solutions are then...

Writing Instructions
In this writing instructions worksheet, students rearrange 10 instructions for making tea, so they are in the correct sequence. Students choose a game or activity and write their own instructions to see if a friend can follow them.
Curated OER
Time
Students review the concept of the hour. In this time lesson plan, students understand how the hour hand works. Students have another clock which also shows the minute hand. Students recognize the position of the minute hand.
Curated OER
More Lollies
Students review the days of the week and see if the students can recite he sequence using different starting days. Students retell the problem using their own words to check that everyone examines.
