Young scholars describe Frieze designs using the work of indigenous people.  In this math lesson, students create 7 frieze designs using different patterns.  They create one row of repeated art and repeat this 7 times...

Students explore pentominoes in this activity. They build shapes as directed and color the tiles on their grid sheet.

Have the class factor and solve trinomials of integers in the form x2 + bx + c, where b and c are positive. They relate factoring to area and then follow a specific format to factor their trinomials. Tiles are used to help them...

Learners create three-dimension models demonstrating exponents, multiplying and dividing of fractions, and the use of repeating patterns in tessellations, mirror images, and tiling.

Fourth graders use math in a living room redecoration lesson. In this geometry lesson, 4th graders get the dimensions of a living room and need to find the amount and cost of paint and flooring. They read different scenarios and decide...

Students explore the concept of quadrilaterals. In this quadrilateral lesson, students play with a floor tile applet to see that there are many types and characteristics of quadrilaterals including parallelograms, trapezoids, rectangles,...

Students solve linear equations. In this algebra lesson, students solve equations using addition, subtraction, division and multiplication. They evaluate and simplify functions.

Students discover building plans and practice reading measurements.  In this architectural design lesson, students investigate the areas of the specific World Trade Center locations that need to be rebuilt and determine the cost....

Your geometers are used to finding the perimeter of a square or rectangle, so give them something different this time! With this lesson, small groups will receive a picture of a shoreline and calculate the perimeter. The website listed...

In this math worksheet, students create 5 addition problems using pictures of domino tiles. All of the problems include adding one-digit numbers.

Students explore probability.  In this probability lesson, students define theoretical probability and experimental probability.  Students predict outcomes of hands on activities using coins and colored tiles, complete a chart...

How many people can sit around a table? The 22nd part in a series of 36 continues the work on writing and evaluating expressions to include expressions with two operations. Pupils use models to determine an expression for the number of...

In this angle measures worksheet, students solve six word problems where they are given 6 different polygons, some of which are complex, and must determine angle measures in order to arrive at a solution.

Symbols make everything so much more concise. Young mathematicians learn to write addition and subtraction expressions — including those involving variables — from verbal phrases. Bar models help them understand the concept. 

Students explore how to multiply fractions using color tiles. They use the appropriate strategies for the multiplication of fractions. Students use 40 color tiles to practice multiplying fractions. They practice using various fractions...

Eighth graders investigate how to combine polynomials using different operations. The use of tiles is done in order to accommodate those who are kinesthetic learners. The sequencing of the lesson is easy to follow.

Students investigate the concept of manipulating polynomials. They go through the process of using algebra tiles in order to practice grouping of like terms and model the solving process.

Students use algebra tiles to solve linear equations with integer solutions. In this algebra lesson plan, students use the additive inverse and the zero pair concept.

Sixth graders explore the math concept of probability. In this probability lesson, 6th graders examine visual examples of finding probability. Students also practice solving problems that their instructors model.

Learners explore, discover, compare, and contrast arithmetic and geometric sequences in this collaborative, hands-on activity. They build and analyze growing patterns to distinguish which kind of sequence is represented by a set of data...
