Just when a young mathematician starts to feel comfortable turning word problems into linear equations, shake things up and throw inequalities in the mix. This excellent, instructive presentation takes the steps for solving an...

You can use this resource to introduce younger learners to word problems involving multiplication. The concept is described, and example is provided, and then they can practice by solving each of the three practice problems provided. The...

Give kids a few strategies to help them become amazing problem solvers. This presentation is intended to be used over a two-day period and presents several techniques or ways to solve word problems or multiplication problems by...

The example of two travelers meeting somewhere along the road has been a stereotypical joke about algebra as long as algebra has existed. Here in this detailed presentation, this old trope gets a careful and approachable treatment....

Your class can use this to warm up or to discuss their problem solving strategies. They review the 8's times tables, relate the multiplication problems to division, then use a chart to solve a word problem involving money.

Knowing how to multiply fractions is an important skill. Knowing when you should multiply fractions is equally as important. This impressive presentation covers both topics quite nicely. Along with slides that present explanations, there...

There are four different word problems (number puzzles) for learners to solve. Each one requires them to think critically about the operation they'll need to use and encourages class discussion. Use as a warm up or prior to a lesson on...

Positioned inside the framework of linear and exponential functions, this lesson is more of an investigation into the effects of changing variables and constants inside an expression. The author takes familiar formulas, those for...

Here is a challenging presentation which should be tough for even your top math learners. In it, pupils view 86 slides which take them through many mathematical concepts such as doubling, halving, decimals, word problems, and converting...

A well-designed presentation can help your class with a variety of mathematical concepts. Pupils practice many different computational skills, such as addition, subtraction, finding multiples of 10, working with decimals, and solving...

An excellent presentation on calculating area and perimeter. Young mathematicians practice the skills involved with determining the area and the perimeter of a variety of rectangular shapes. The final two slides present a challenging...

Here is an interesting presentation on fractions, quantities, and factoring. A game called four in a row is presented as a way of providing a fun way for learners to practice mathematical skills in these areas. Along with the game, there...

Kids can use coins to boost their mathematical know-how. Using this presentation as an activity guide, they identify coin value, skip count by 5's and 10's, come up with various ways to make given denominations, solve coin related word...

This PowerPoint enables students to review mathematical terms in an interactive review game format. The slides contain a question about a mathematical term and the students must answer with the correct vocabulary word in order to get...

What assumptions are made in order to solve equations? An instructional slideshow provides an overview and guided examples of how properties of equality can be used to justify each step in solving equations.
