Twelve chapters cover a multitude of math concepts found in the Common Core standards for sixth grade. Each title provides a brief explanation of what you will find inside the chapter—concepts from which you can click on and learn more...

A matrix is just a fancy way of making a table. Young scholars explore operations with matrices with the first lessons in the final module of a 10-unit Algebra II series. After adding, subtracting, and multiplying matrices, pupils use...

Swimming is more fun with quantities. The short assessment task encompasses finding the volume of a trapezoidal prism using an understanding of quantities. Individuals make a connection to the rate of which the pool is filled with a...

It might be silly to determine the creep rate of putty but groups will enjoy making different formulations of silly putty and playing with them to understand how the different mixtures behave. The second part of the activity has groups...

Students play a PowerPoint activity to be used as a review of basic skills for order of operations, and the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division for whole numbers, some fractional numbers and integers....

Second graders solve various multiplication math word problems involving cars and people, fish and fish bowls, and tables and table legs. They write and solve multiplication story problems related to whole numbers, addition, subtraction,...

Students conduct a series of experiments in which they explore chemical reactions. They detect chemical changes by observing how physical properties change when two different chemicals are combined. They list and describe the reactants...

First graders investigate, represent and solve problems using number facts, operations, and their properties. They solve on-step addition and subtraction number sentences and word problems using concrete materials. Students construct...

In this vector spaces worksheet, students identify the vector in a given set.  They explore addition and scalar multiplication in their vectors.  This two-page worksheet contains 13 problems.

Fourth graders study fractions. In this fractions lesson, 4th graders define fraction-related vocabulary words. Students use beads to study fractions. Students draw shapes to study fraction equivalency and brainstorm fractions they use...

Students compute the slope of a line that passes through two points and explain how the slope formula is derived. They determine properties associated with positive, negative, undefined, and no slope.

In this complex numbers worksheet, students simplify 9 problems involving the addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of complex numbers.

Students examine the principles of electrophoresis. They evaluate both the agarose and polyacrylamide system of molecular separation. In order to bring the concepts of genetics and evolution full circle from DNA to protein, students...

Learners examine their eating habits and experience analyzing data and drawing conclusions. They construct models of the molecular backbone of saturated and unsaturated fats. In addition, they examine the labels of their food, record...

In this computation with real and complex numbers instructional activity, students use addition, subtraction, multiplication and division to solve 26 problems with complex numbers to win a bingo game.

In this exponent rules worksheet, students simplify 56 negative exponents and scientific notation problems.  Students use exponent rules to simplify each problem.

Students solve a given problem and explain their thinking using two number sentences to match their answer. One number sentence must use addition, one must use multiplication, and students must explain their answers. Includes sample...

Students use rounding and compensating with whole numbers and explain how to use the empty number line to show additions and subtractions. They round and compensate in relation to decimal subtraction Background

Middle schoolers practice calculating the slope of a line. They explain how the formula is derived and identify properties that are associated with positive, negative and undefined slopes. They complete an online activity as well.

Pupils investigate basic mathematical properties to solve multiplication and division problems. They solve word problems that are part of the lesson plan. Students are required to give written or oral justification for how they solve...

Students, as a final project, draw a picture of their ideal neighborhood on a sunny day. In addition to the sun, their drawings include homes, trees, streets, and selected objects. Each object in their drawing has a written description...

Learners determine whether a hit baseball is a home run or not by utilizing parametric equations to describe the path of the ball. They assess the importance of angles and velocity needed to hit a home run. In addition, in their own...

Third graders complete several activities in their quest to find out about the addition of fluoride to city water. First, they create a guide sheet to help organize notes. The next two steps involve taking notes through guided practice....

Having a good working knowledge of math vocabulary is so important for learners as they progress through different levels of mathematical learning. Here is 125 pages worth of wonderfully constructed vocabulary and concept review cards....
