Even money states that the resource is good to use. Scholars manipulate an interactive to adjust the portion of a graph to the left of the y-axis. The interactive allows them to switch between even and odd modes that show the right side...

Limit the view of sequences on both sides of the axis. Learners explore an alternating sign sequence. Using a graphical display of the first 10 terms of the sequence, pupils determine the formula for the general term. they then use the...

Teach budding mathematicians how to square a triangle with an interactive that shows a graphical proof of the Pythagorean Theorem. Pupils alter the lengths of the legs using sliders. Using the inputted lengths, the applet displays the...

An interactive resource challenges mathematicians to show what they know about prime factorization. Five multiple-choice, true or false, and discussion questions use chocolate chip cookies to set a real-world application of the...

While the lesson focuses on right triangles, this activity offers a great way to practice the area of all triangles through an interactive webpage. The activity begins with the class taking a square paper and cutting in in half; can they...

Deepen the fractional number sense of young learners with this introductory lesson on equivalent fractions. After completing a short warm-up activity, children go on to work in pairs using fraction circles to complete a table of...

Develop young mathematicians' ability to compare fractions with investigation into the number 1/2. After brainstorming a list of fractions equivalent to 1/2, children identify a pattern in the numerators and...

A basic set-up leads to a surprisingly complex analysis in this variation on the question of surrounding a central circle with a ring of touching circles. Useful for putting trigonometric functions in a physical context, as well as...

Frequently found in biology and economic application problems, exponential equations show up as stars in this introductory presentation. Taking no background or knowledge of exponentials for granted, the slides walk learners...

Add a twist to the practice of simplifying expressions. The task asks scholars to decode a mathematical puzzle using their knowledge of expressions. If they are able to write and simplify the expression, the mathematics behind the puzzle...

Weight is a function of the distance from sea level. Learners explore the many implications of this fact in an inquiry-based task. Given the function, pupils answer questions before manipulating the function to rewrite the distance...

Maximize a profit with an understanding of geometric dimension. A real-world task challenges learners to design a pattern using three different brick shapes. The bricks are dedicated with a different donation for each shape, so part of...

Your geometry learners will appreciate this net for a square pyramid. Copy, cut, and manipulate to explore the surface area or volume of a square pyramid.

Students are introduced to the concept of using manipulatives when working with fractions in real life situations. In this using manipulative with fractions lesson, students make connections about when manipulatives aid in...

Students use manipulatives to establish quantity. By singing a song titled "Five Little Cookies," students determine which strategy to use to find out how many cookies are left in the bakery shop.

Read a tale for your class as they unravel patterns presented in the story using manipulatives. Pause to allow time for discussion and explanation of solutions throughout the story. They write equations or expressions with order of...

Young scholars study story problems and learn how to find and justify their answers. They will use a story problem and then respond to the prompt questions from the teacher. They must add and subtract facts to 6 and learn how to justify...

This is a great instructional activity from start to finish. With partners and on their own, learners write and solve linear equations and inequalities. They use manipulatives, group work, and an included worksheet to make magic with...

Middle schoolers study the triangle inequality. They will identify, compare, and analyze attributes of two and three-dimensional shapes. Then they develop vocabulary to describe the attributes. They also use manipulatives to analyze the...

Learners use manipulatives to study shapes. They sort shapes and use correct geometric terminology to describe them. Learners find real-life examples of 2 and 3 dimensional shapes, and classify figures in their classroom according to...

Elementary schoolers determine the attributes of prime and composite numbers. Pupils, working in pairs, participate in an activity in which they use manipulatives to show the rectangles that can be made from square tiles. They practice...

Students solve the mystery of dead Mr. Potato Head using physics and algebra. They discuss Newton's Law of cooling as it applies to the mystery scenario involving a cooling baked potato as the "victim". They manipulate algebraic...

Fourth graders use manipulatives to practice math patterns.

In this math worksheet, students reinforce addition and subtraction facts 0 to 12 by collaborating in a fishing game. Students fish for numbers with a magnet and create a math sentence, flipping a coin to determine the operation used....
