Multiplying and Dividing Monomials (Guided Notes on Exponent Rules)
This lesson is meant to be used as guided notes for a whole class. Students begin by learning what IS and IS NOT a monomial. They then multiply some monomials in order to discover the rule: We can add their exponents. After solving a few problems, they do the same thing with dividing monomials to discover that rule: Subtracting the exponents. Finally, students are shown a proof/explanation as to why a number raised to the power of 0 equals 1. *This lesson is definitely just an intro to multipl

Which of These Problems is NOT Like the Others?
This is a quick review of fraction rules, and was made to be projected on a SmartBoard; however, it can also be printed out. I project it and then have student pairs use their whiteboards to come up with their solutions and explanation. The goal is for the students to be able to look at the problems and realize that one of the fractions being multiplied is an improper fraction, which will result in a product smaller than the proper fraction by which it's being multiplied.

Most fraction resources teach multiplication as "multiply across" and division as "flip and multiply" — rules that work, but that most students cannot explain. This no-prep, self-paced package starts from the picture: what does multiplying fractions actually mean, and why does the flip work? The area models in Phase 3 show what 2/3 × 3/4 looks like before any rule is named.
