Here is another version of the classic M&M math instructional activity. In this one, upper graders utilize the ClarisWorks Spreadsheet program in order to document the data they come up with from their bags of M&M's. After making...

In this decimal learning exercise, students read about adding and subtracting, then complete a set of 31 problems, adding, subtracting, solving for values of expressions and solving equations.

In this scientific notation worksheet, learners view the scientific notation of numbers, write the in between calculation, and the normal way to write the numbers. Students do this for 6 numbers.

Students use, with increasing confidence, problem-solving approaches to investigate and explain mathematical content. They make and test conjectures. They use tables and graphs as tools to interpret expressions, equations, and inequalities.

Young scholars celebrate the 100th day of school with a variety of math and language arts activities based on the number 100. They make books, count objects, and draw their predictions about life 100 years from now. They...

Seventh graders use toothpicks to investigate a series of designs and identify patterns. Data is organized and analyzed using tables and graphs, and students make generalizations using algebraic expressions.

Middle-school mathematicians identify the need for scientific notation. Learners convert large and small numbers into scientific notation. Learners review the powers of ten and write them on the board in standard form and scientific...

Your youngest mathematicians skip count by 2's, 5's, and 10's as they sing along to a Hap Palmer song that helps them remember the patterns. Students practice in whole group and then individually with the worksheet provided, using the...

Middle schoolers create a method for finding the area of a fame for a picture and then transfer their shared methods into algebraic expressions. They develop the algebraic language to communicate and solve problems effectively and...

Students explore the concept of ratios. They observe a website of Trident Gum that gives a real life example of ratios. Students practice ratio problems in three forms. They express ratios as a proportion and solve proportions using...

In this algebra worksheet, students compare integers, translate words to a numerical expression, identify sets of numbers, identify properties, use order of operations, multiply fractions, and solve simple word problems. This 13 page...

High schooler math students review operations and solve linear equations using manipulatives--squares, cubes, circles, and cups. They transfer the operations performed on the manipulatives in equation form.

Students write a class letter to a local policeman asking him to come and talk to the class and create a list of safety tips as a class. Students research information on police dogs: type of dogs used, where they come form, how they are...

In this algebra worksheet, students factor twelve trinomial expressions into a binomial multiplication expression. In four of the problems, they must first factor out the common elements from the three terms.

Reinforces the use of the distributive property for the pre-algebra or the beginning algebra pupil. Multiple choice and short answer questions test the use of the distributive property in expressions using solely numerical values or...

What do yo-yos and pennies have to do with linear equations? Learn about writing and solving linear equations while considering the Yo-Yo Problem and Penny Pattern Exploration from the High School Math Project. Learners utilize algebra...

Seventh graders investigate a series of triangles, looking for patterns and generalizing what they have found. They analyze the pattern data and organize it into a table and graph. Students identify the relationship and discover the rule...

How many hundreds, tens, and ones are there? The class examines 3 different images, each containing flats, rods, and units. They write down the number of 100s, 10s, and 1s, then the whole number they represent.

Factoring practice of binomials, trinomials, and four-term polynomial expressions is included in this worksheet. Questions are either multiple choice or short answer.   

For this algebra worksheet, students factor out common factors of polynomials. Once the common factors are out, students factor trinomial expressions into the product of two binomials when possible.

In this algebra worksheet, students factor expressions into the product of two binomials. Four of the problems involve factoring perfect square trinomials. The remaining eight problems require students to factor problems that are the...
