Cooke's Math Resources

The operation of addition is based on the counting of objects. This introduction to the addition of mixed numbers uses pictures of halves, thirds, sixths, and eighths to first engage students in counting by halves, thirds, etc. so that finding sums will feel intuitive.

Laws of Exponents Unit Resources contains· Student handout (6 pages) covering multiplication and division of powers, raising powers to a power, zero and negative exponents, and standard order with multiple operations. Many practice problems included. Written in Word so teachers may modify documents.· Simplifying assumes use of positive exponents for all answers, leaving coefficients in ratio form · Quiz in alternate forms for positive exponents · Second quiz covering positive, negative, and ze

Many third and fourth graders are frustrated by computation skills because they are not yet fluent in their recall of math facts. Most of the pages in this bundle have fact recall prompts at the top of the page. This makes it possible for the student to strengthen computation skills and practice number facts at the same time. The pages are ideal for homework, for homeschooling, and for remediation work.

This bundle contains a Powerpoint (28 slides) and a six-page student handout. The handout mirrors the presentation Powerpoint with the same lecture material, examples, and practice problems. The Powerpoint has an answer key for the practice problems. The material is presented in four "chunks:" exponents with numerical bases, multiplication and division with powers, raising powers to powers, and zero and negative exponents.

Each of the 8 pages in this packet is organized by greatest common factor. On the first page, for example, the GCF is two, so all the fractions to be simplified have two as their greatest common factor. By reducing the memory challenge for students, the pages in this packet should allow students to focus on the concept of equivalent fractions.

This forty page Word document contains multipage reviews on factoring, simplifying radical expressions, graphing quadratic functions, solving quadratic equations, and simplifying complex numbers. It also has single page handouts covering single objectives related to quadratic functions and equations. Examples are: solving quadratic equations by 1). factoring 2). taking square roots 3). completing the square, and 4). applying the quadratic formula. The pages can be modified by the user. The dif

This twelve page packet begins with a carefully sequenced review of harder addition facts. The later pages contain three-digit plus three-digit controlled facts practice. These sheets are helpful to 2nd - 4th grade students who struggle with multidigit addition with renaming because their recall of math facts is slow. The term "controlled fact" means that the student is using the same math facts repeatedly on a page: an example is 235 + 999.

The fifteen page packet begins with a review of the 6, 7, 8, and 9 multiplication facts. The multiples are presented in a matrix format: for example, the multiples of 6 are presented as nine or more rows with a sequence of six counting numbers in each row. On several of the facts practice pages multiples are contrasted to addends of the same number using the same spatial organizer. The later pages contain 1-digit times 2-digit, 1- digit times 3-digit, and 2-digit times 2-digit, controlled fact,

This unit contains a PowerPoint with practice problems and answer keys. The content defines all vocabulary related to factoring and polynomials and presents the following techniques: Factoring quadratic trinomials with a leading coefficient of 1 and those > 1 •Recognizing and factoring out common factors. •Factoring polynomials with four terms. •Recognizing and applying perfect square patterns in factoring. •Factoring higher degree polynomials. Determining which poly

This 24-page student packet contains vocabulary, warm-ups, explicit instruction, guided practice and longer independent practices. The explanations, warm-ups, examples, and guided practice problems are the same ones presented on the PowerPoint "Factoring Polynomials" by the same author. The keys to the practice problems, however, are presented only on the PowerPoint. This handout is written in Word so that it can be modified. The factoring techniques presented begin with Algebra 1 type quadratic

This 16-page packet has math facts review at the top of each page and uses the same divisor on each page. Because the dividends are presented in increasing order, students can begin to see a pattern to their quotients. The pages in which students practice with 2-digit divisors use the same divisor on each page, and they begin by completing sequences made up of multiples of that divisor. Through the use of careful sequencing and meaningful repetition, students begin to experience the logic of mul

Some students struggle with the concept of long division. Using the same divisor on a page makes it possible for students to recognize a pattern to their quotients as they divide increasingly large dividends by the same divisor. These sheets are presented in a controlled fact format so that students are not struggling to recall many different facts while also learning the division algorithm.

Some children find subtraction with renaming (regrouping) difficult because they struggle to recall number facts. These worksheets are presented in a controlled fact format so that the student can practice the skill of multidigit subtraction while at the same time practicing a single family of number facts.

This 30 slide Powerpoint presentation contains instruction, examples, and practice problems with answer keys on the next slide. The slides are grouped: exponents with numerical bases, laws of exponents with products and quotients, power rules for products, and quotients, zero and negative exponents. Each of the four sections contains example problems as well as practice problems.

This is a six-page handout written in Microsoft Word. It can be used as a notes handout of the laws of positive, zero, and negative examples. The material is presented in three sections: 1). products and quotients of powers; 2). powers of products and quotients and; 3). zero and negative exponents. Zero and negative exponents are introduced using a base-ten numeration chart. The handout would be useful in a classroom lesson, as independent practice, or in remediation settings.

This Powerpoint presents the laws of applying positive, negative, and zero exponents to numbers and expressions. It is part of a bundle that includes, handouts, quizzes, tests, review materials, and answer keys.

This colorful wooden puzzle is fun to put together as different designs. And it can remain just that -- a beautiful wooden design tool for young children. But embedded in this puzzle are important mathematical ideas. This handout is free, but after reading it you may want to buy the Binomial Squares Puzzle from RedHen LLC toys. A YouTube video is available at https://youtu.be/YQ6rExEYdXE that will give you an idea of the many things you can do besides enjoying this beautiful puzzle with a child.

This four-page packet reviews addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of whole numbers, fractions, and decimals.
