Communication is the key. A dozen sample items require scholars to communicate their reasoning involved in arriving at a solution. The PowerPoint from the Gr. 8 Claim 2 - 4 Item Slide Shows series uses a variety of content to...

The class checks to see if the formula for finding powers of a complex number works to find the roots too.  Pupils review the previous day's work and graph on the polar grid. The discussion leads the class to think about...

Build a solid understanding of rational number relationships by asking class members to use various skills to order decimals, fractions, and numeric power expressions. Using the resource, they find that the fractions do not have an...

Structure makes everything easier — even math. A helpful resource contains five short problems that require pupils to use the structure of the expressions in order to answer the questions. 

The 15th installment of a 35-part module is a mid-module assessment task. Covering concepts in the first half of the module, the task acts as a formative assessment, providing you with valuable information on how learners are doing.

Communication is the key. A presentation provides 25 sample items for Claim 3, Communicating Reasoning, for the Smarter Balanced High School Math assessment. Items require pupils to answer the question and provide logical reasoning to...

A six-day unit for algebra II on exponential and logarithmic functions builds upon Chapter 12 of Merrill Algebra II with Trigonometry; Applications and Connections. The text provides assistance in the depth of instruction...

Prompt scholars to complete a magic square using only variables. Then they can attempt to solve a numerical magic square using algebra. 

Practice exercise reviews rational exponents including how to simplify or evaluate expressions and write the answer with either positive or no exponents.

This online tutorial explains how the laws of rational exponents are used to simplify expressions. The examples show exactly how the process is done. Click on the "Topic Index" to find related lessons, practice activities, and teacher...
