An impressive lesson where pupils visualize models and solve problems involving multiplying a whole number times a fraction. Fraction bars are used to help learners truly understand what's happening during this mathematical process. The...

Pre-algebra protégés critique a graph depicting Tom's trip to the bus stop. They work together to match descriptive cards to distance-time graph cards and data table cards, all of which are provided for you so you can make copies for...

First graders play a fun game while learning to tell time. This BBC site is well designed. They enjoy it while learning a lot. Playing in pairs would be lots of fun.

One, two, three. Un, deux, trois. Eins, zwei, drei. Primary learners love to count and this instructional activity contains a series of games that encourage learners to count in English, French, German, and Spanish. The exercises develop...

Don't worry, this resource actually exists. Scholars learn about imaginary numbers and work on problems simplifying square roots of negative numbers. As an extension, they research the history of imaginary numbers.

Explore the concept of, and use the Ti-Nspire to, convert complex numbers into polar form. Then practice graphing complex numbers in the polar coordinate plane.

Develop a definition of irrational numbers through an exploration of square roots. The 11th instructional activity in this series of 25 asks scholars to estimate the value of a square root. Learners observe as the estimation extends...

Young scholars examine concept of time, and explore difference between analog and digital clocks; students make art project to represent time and create a time-story problem and solution.

The whole class discusses the differences between the two clocks: digital and a clock with hands. They discuss the differences between the hour hand and minute hand. Students are taught telling time to the half hour. They are introduced...

What time is it? Language learners are introduced to time vocabulary with a series of activities, songs, and games that let them practice formulating and answer questions about time.

Learners explore how to tell time by looking at their daily schedule. Everyone's days start out the same (with school), but what does each learner do after school? How do they spend their time? 

Explore prime numbers. Learners use an interactive 100's chart to identify prime numbers, discuss a glossary of terms, use cards to list multiples of 2,3,4,5, and play a bingo game.

Study digital and analog times on a clock with learners. They will use the Kidspiration template to create a digital and analog time display on the computer. They also display the correct times on both analog and digital clocks when the...

The class practices, on paper and/or on a TI graphing calculator the concepts of how to add, multiply, divide and subtract complex numbers using the correct property.

Identifying patterns is a crucial skill for all mathematicians, young and old. Explore the multiplication table with your class, using patterns and symmetry to teach about square numbers, prime numbers, and the commutative and identity...

Mixed numbers can be added conceptually, algorithmically, and physically. Have the class visualize mixed numbers by adding fraction bars together. They then discover the algorithmic process that simplifies adding mixed numbers. Finally,...

Sixth graders create a human number line. They determine the correct placement of various numbers ranging from -4 to 4. Additionally, they will determine the placement of numbers written as fractions and/or decimals.

¡Hola! Young learners need to review basic greetings and numbers the first week of school. To introduce learners to each other, have the kids form two circles, one inside the other. The inside circle faces out (so that they're...

Young learners engage in discussions and activities on telling time, different types of clocks, and how the parts of a clock actually work. The engage in interactive websites, hands-on games, and watch a video on the art of the clock and...

There are four irrational numbers that participants need to graph. Pi(π), -(½ x π), and √17 are easy to approximate with common rational numbers. On the other hand, the commentary describing the irrational number 2√2 is not...

Have a fun time teaching children to read analog clocks with this whole-group math activity. Using large sets of the numerals 1-12 and 0, 5, 10...55, the teacher creates a large clock on either the carpet or the white board, explaining...

Complex numbers were first represented on the complex plane, now they are being represented using sine and cosine. Introduce the class to the polar form of a complex number with the 13th part of a 32-part series that defines the...

Connect the tortoise and the hare fable to mathematics. Learners first identify key terms related to distance, rate, and time. They then solve distance/rate/time problems using different representations.

Fibonacci numbers are not only found in the classroom but also in nature. Explore the concept of Fibonacci numbers through a series of lessons designed to gain insight into the mathematical reasoning behind the number pattern, and spark...
