Apply the concept of magnitude to estimate values and compare numbers. The ninth lesson of the 15-part series asks learners to write numbers to their next greatest power of 10 and then make comparisons. Scholars begin to understand the...

Math apprentices are introduced to the components of a linear relationship. In groups, they write story problems that incorporate this relationship and relates to the real world. They give their problem to the class for them to solve.

Intended to be used along with the first chapter of An Introduction to Language textbook, this PowerPoint is full of linguistic terminology that is not necessarily explained. This tool can be used to complement a lecture or a text, but...

Learners analyze real life jobs that involve math. They discuss jobs where math is used, and explore how math is important in many areas and research some of these jobs in the book "Paws in Jobland." They complete a worksheet with four...

Second graders take a trip to the arcade in an activity that engages them in problem solving with money. Composed of three word problems, youngsters are instructed to determine various combinations to represent a given value by using...

Young mathematicians solve arithmetic and simple algebraic equations using properties of real numbers, equality, and inequality. Justifying the procedures is their next task. They solve a problem involving linear inequality and justify...

Students explore matrices. Given a particular situation, they discover the make-up and design of a matrix. Students identify examples of rectangular arrays used in real world situations. They solve oral problems in class.

The class explores the concept of complex numbers on a website to generate their own Mandelbrot sets. They will practice performing operations with complex numbers and then to get a visual understanding, graph the absolute value of a...
