MathTeach

A sampling of all the problem solving strategies and how to use them.

Helping students to classify the difference between rational and irrational numbers.

A small review lesson on absolute value.

This lesson can span over 2 days. I review rates, unit rates, ratios and proportions, then spend the next day dealing with percents. I teach the students not only to use proportions when solving percent problems, but also to use equations, because as percent problems become more complex, it is easier to use equations then it is to use proportions.

Used at the end of the school year. The students are asked to created 5 word problems from different strands of mathematics. They are to created the cord problems and supply the answers.
