Factoring Extended to the Complex Realm
A solution will work one way or another: find solutions, or use solutions to find the function. Learners use polynomial identities to factor polynomials with complex solutions. They then use solutions and the Zero Product Property to...

Polygon Division Models
Learners use polygons to explore division. They use pattern blocks to represent whole numbers and fractions. They discuss divisors, factors, dividend and products. In groups, students present models and solve problems. They justify their...

Transformations
The coordinate plane is a popular place! Identify rotations, reflections, and dilations on the coordinate plane. Pupils work in small groups to match transformations of a figure with the description of the transformation. They perform...

Families of Parallel Lines and the Circumference of the Earth
How do you fit a tape measure around the Earth? No need if you know a little geometry! Pupils begin by extending their understanding of the Side Splitter Theorem to a transversal cut by parallel lines. Once they identify the proportional...

Arithmetic and Geometric Sequences
Old mathematicians never die; they just lose some of their functions. Studying sequences gives scholars an opportunity to use a new notation. Learners write functions to model arithmetic and geometric sequences and use them to find new...

The Importance of Patterns
Students study geometric shapes and find patterns in shapes, numbers, and beats. In this patterns lesson, students complete a handout 'Guess the Pattern and watch a video about breaking a code. Students read a word problem and watch a...
Curated OER
Strange Elevators: Creating and Extending Patterns
Second graders solve problems by recognizing patterns, creating patterns and extending them. They compare and contrast patterns.
Curated OER
Exploring Geometric Patterns and Relationships
Students explore the concept of geometric patterns. They use a review of patterns with numbers for a warm-up activity.Then the teacher does examples with the students attempting to find the pattern.
Curated OER
Patterns and Sequence
Sixth graders explore patterns and sequencing. As a class, they name numbers that fit in a pattern. Students use pattern blocks to construct and identify patterns. They use a calculator to create input and output functions.
