This resource discusses the use of manipulatives in the study of Algebra. The author sees benefits in symbol manipulation to enrich understanding, in geometric interpretation strengthening the connection to other parts of mathematics,...

Not everyone solves a problem in the same way. Reinforcing that different strategies can be used effectively is the goal of this lesson.

This lesson provides real-world examples that demonstrate how to organize data into matrices. It is 2 of 5 in the series titled "Using Matrices to Organize Data."

The trigonometry tutorial investigates the graph of the cosecant function. The interactive tutorial examines the period, phase shift, and range of the cosecant graph. Learners use the applet to manipulate the parameters of the cosecant...

The interactive tutorial examines periodic functions. Learners use the applet to manipulate the shape, period, and shift of periodic functions.

Did you learn to calculate using a 7-foot-long slide rule? Did you learn about the properties of numbers using brightly colored Cuisenaire rods? Ever wonder who invented the graph paper you used in geometry class? Go back to the...

The goal of this lesson is for learners to use manipulatives to add integers, creating concepts rather than memorizing rules. This lesson will be related to the 300 Spartans who battled the invading Persians at the Battle of Thermopylae,...

In this task, students use the structure of an expression to find ways to rewrite it. They are asked to use the defining property of even and odd functions to manipulate expressions involving function notation and to see the structure in...

The purpose of this task is to use technology to study the behavior of some exponential and logarithmic graphs and to manipulate some explicit logarithmic and exponential expressions. Aligns with HSF-LE.A.4, F-BF.B.5, and F-IF.C.7.e.

Students will learn and reinforce skills for solving for unknowns, manipulating equations while keeping them in balance, using formulas to solve real-world challenges, and working with proportions, radicals and exponents.
