Eighth graders investigate math operations by creating a fold-able guide.  In this order of operations lesson, 8th graders discover the correct order to solve a problem by memorizing the phrase "Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally," or...

First graders explore the existence of patterns in everyday items. In this science and math integrated lesson, 1st graders match leaves with a name word card and organize them into four patterns. This lesson includes a reading of And the...

For this addition review worksheet, students use their math skills to solve 100 problems that require them to find sums of the numbers in the columns and rows of the chart as quickly and accurately as possible.

Ninth graders practice math computation with a guest check. In this computation lesson, 9th graders work with a partner to write up a check for ordered food. They practice adding the money and coming up with change.

For this introductory worksheet, students evaluate their personal views on their study of mathematics and work to set goals to achieve greater success in mathematics. There are 7 questions to this questionnaire with bonus tips on study...

Knowing the standard algorithm opens up a whole new world of division. Scholars learn how to convert division involving decimals to division involving whole numbers to use the standard algorithm. Knowing how to multiply with powers of...

Look at rates from a general perspective. The 17th part of a 29-part series provides problems that help pupils develop more general ratios from given rates. Scholars determine unit rates and ratios that are associated with given rates....

Even or not, here I come. Groups investigate the parity of products and sums of whole numbers in the 17th lesson in a series of 21. Using dots to represent numbers, they develop a pattern for the products of two even numbers; two odd...

Who knew the sum of a number's digits gives such interesting information? The 18th installment of a 21-part module has scholars investigate division by three and nine. After looking at several examples, they develop divisibility tests...

Third graders use graphing calculators to graph equations. They make visual models of algebraic expressions and they can readily see that an equation represents something.

Ratios may not be created equal, but they are equivalent. Pupils learn the theorem relating equivalent ratios and equal values in the eighth segment in a series of 29. Classmates use the theorem to determine whether ratios within...

Learners review pairs of angles: adjacent, complementary, supplementary, linear, and vertical. They create flashcards by sketching pairs of lines that appear to be parallel with a transversal. They identify pairs of angles by their...

Using the concept of a candy vending machine, young mathematicians explore the sugar ratios found in different types of candy. Using the provided information, class members calculate and compare different ratios in...

Scholars learn to create scatter plots and investigate any relationships that exists between the variables with a lesson plan that also show them that statistical relationships do not necessarily indicate a cause-and-effect...

Class members investigate relationships between two variables in the seventh installment of a 16-part module that teaches scholars how to find and describe patterns in scatter plots. Young mathematicians consider linear/nonlinear...

Discover how trend lines can be useful in understanding relationships between variables with a lesson plan that covers how to informally fit a trend line to model a relationship given in a scatter plot. Scholars use the trend line to...

Boiling down any division problem to a one-digit divisor problem sure makes estimation easy. The lesson shows how to estimate division problems by using place value understanding and basic arithmetic facts to simplify the division. Some...

Scholars learn to divide multi-digit numbers using the standard algorithm in the 14th installment in a module of 21 parts. They get plenty of practice with the algorithm by completing a worksheet.

Pupils continue the study of ratios by creating ratios from a context. The contexts present more than two quantities, and scholars create contexts that match given ratios. 

Equivalent ratios show up on tape. Young mathematicians use tape diagrams to create equivalent ratios in the initial lesson on the topic. They learn the definition of equivalent ratios and use it to build others in the third segment of a...

What is the connection between equivalent ratios? Class members first find the multiplication factor used to create equivalent ratios. Next, they take that information to determine whether ratios are equivalent. The second lesson on...

Changing ratios make for interesting problems. Pupils solve problems that involve ratios between two quantities that change. Groups use tape diagrams to represent and solve classroom exercises and share their solutions. 

Build tables by understanding their structure. Scholars take a closer look at the structure of ratio tables in the 10th segment in a 29-part series. Individuals realize that the tables can be built using an additive or...

Make all the ratio representations fit together. The 15th segment in a series of 29 presents ratio problems to solve. Scholars use a variety of representations to respond to the questions. The problem set has pupils show how the...
