The number of basic algebraic properties can become overwhelming for learners. A lesson explains and gives examples for all the basic algebraic properties. The resource is perfect to use as a way for pupils to organize and...

Create tables of solutions of linear equations. A lesson plan has pupils determine solutions for two-variable equations using tables. The class members graph the points on a coordinate graph. 

As you introduce graphs to young scholars, use this coordinate pairs activity to give them some independent practice. Learners examine 12 points on a graph, all of which are in the first quadrant (and therefore positive). They write the...

Scholars learn to order rational numbers in the seventh lesson in a series of 21. Reasoning about numbers on a number line allows for this ordering.

Pupils use calculators to work independently to discover the rules for working with exponents. The lesson requires the use of a TI-nspire handheld and software.

Hook new mathematicians with a candy-themed approach to addition and subtraction. They examine 10 numbers (not exceeding 19) printed on candy wrappers. For each, learners calculate and record numbers with values one more and one...

Use the number wall to practice addition, evens and odds, missing addends, and doubling. Learners answer various questions based on six numbers, filling in squares with digits. They list the odd numbers and total them, then list the even...

Understanding where to place a fraction on a number line is key to understanding fractions as numbers. This activity focuses on locating fractions less than one. Learners need to partition the line into the correct number of equal sized...

True or false? Scholars determine the truth value of equations and inequalities through substitution. All values to use for substitution are given with each equation or inequality. This is the 24th lesson plan in a module of 36.

Practice working with number lines with a simple, versatile instructional activity. On a number line starting at zero and continuing beyond one, third graders decide where to place the fraction seven-fourths.

This is a fun way to interact with numbers, and it hardly takes any preparation! Give youngsters pieces of ten cards, each of which has a number from 1-10. The cards are provided, and it's recommended to print on cardstock. Laminate if...

Looking for a division drill including remainders? You've found one! There are 12 long-division equations here, and scholars show their work in solving each one. These all have three-digit dividends, one-digit divisors, and remainders....

Reinforce properties while solving equations. Learners often ignore properties even as they try to apply them. A well-designed lesson emphasizes the role of additive inverses when solving equations.

In this lower elementary math worksheet, students trace the number zero by tracing the dotted lines. They see the number zero 4 times and read words telling them that they cannot count zero items.

Test your students' number line skills with these sequences, which they must finish and then indicate if they are ascending or descending. Numbers range from negative numbers to decimals. This activity would be a great teaching tool for...

Ten frames make counting to ten visual and tangible for young mathematicians. In partners, learners take turns holding up a numeral card while a classmate puts markers on the ten frame chart to match the number. After checking the work,...

Knowing math helps you win games. Learners apply conditional probability concepts in an engaging performance task. After playing a game in which players roll a 10-sided polyhedron and then try to place the digits to get the highest...

For this addition worksheet, 1st graders focus on addition with the number zero. Students complete 14 horizontal addition problems adding single digits with zero.

Fifth graders multiply five to six-digit numbers by powers of ten containing negative two exponents. This four-page worksheet contains approximately 40 problems, with exponents.

Calculate the answers to problems that are multiples of ten to help your class discern patterns in the zeros and learn to sequence. Each person receives a 10,000 chart, but s/he must discover that on their own through estimation and...

The basics of number theory and set notation are explained in a highly approachable way in a self-contained instructional activity and worksheet. Introducing the vocabulary and concepts from ground zero and building to more complex...

A cheery presentation on multiplying whole, and decimal numbers by 10. Learners are coached to simply add a zero to the number which is being multiplied by 10. An excellent way to pass along one of the all-time best mental math tricks.

The Kepler missions discovered and confirmed more than 2,650 exoplanets to date. A video shares the data from the first five discoveries. It provides graphs and diagrams to put each discovery in perspective to help scholars discuss the...

Solve polynomial equations of degree using different theorems and apply the zero factor theorem for unknown numbers in a quadratic equation. Also use the discriminate to find out the kind of solutions to given quadratic equations shown.
