Students demonstrate knowledge of the six basic steps to problem solving. They demonstrate ability to apply these six basic steps to problem solving by guiding other students in the solution of a given problem or set of problems.

Fifth graders interpret data into graphs and percentages.  In this organizing data lesson, 5th graders discuss bar, circle and line graphs.  Students complete bar graph and apply probability using the results.

Students apply understanding of fractions by converting a recipe to feed the class and the whole grade level. They calculate how many cookies the class would eat and multiply each fraction in the recipe accordingly.

Ten similar worksheets plus their answer keys are included in this resource. Each simply displays three right rectangular prisms with their length, height, and width printed on them. Fifth graders apply the formula for the volume of a...

For this finding the volume and surface area of rectangular prisms worksheet, students observe the figures with their dimensions in centimeters and apply the formulas to solve. Students solve 3 problems.

In this finding the missing units in triangles activity, students apply the Pythagorean Theorem to solve. Students solve 10 problems. 

For this quadratic formula usage worksheet, students apply the formula to solve each of the problems. Students solve 10 problems.

In this solving quadrilateral word problems worksheet, students apply knowledge of congruent shapes to problem solve. Students solve six problems.

Students evaluate trash. In this Science lesson, students collect and weigh trash from their classrooms. Students categorize the trash and the corresponding weights, recording the information on a data sheet.

In this math worksheet, students are given examples of different memory capabilities for the types of storage devices. They match the memory to the device for fifteen problems.

Learners apply their math skills as they respond to five questions that require them to convert decimals to fractions.

Comparing unit prices of food products is a skill that learners will use for the rest of their lives. Here is a simple plan that provides practice calculating the unit price for various grocery store products. Use two jars with differing...

Young mathematicians apply problem-solving skills to equations that have more than one variable. They will work through the process to problem solve and discover the solution.

Fourth and fifth graders study the Pythagorean Theorem and apply it to find the missing side of a right triangle.

Learners gather information about the Dragon Boats teams and races. They discuss what makes a winning combination for rowing teams and apply conclusions to their lives. They then problem solve fabrication of an animated dragon boat replica.

In this elapsed time worksheet, learners read facts about time such as there are 60 seconds in 1 minute, and read tips for computing elapsed time both when going from am to pm, and within the morning or afternoon. They practice adding...

For this percents worksheet, students solve 18 different problems that include determining the percent of various numbers. First, they determine which way they are going to solve each problem. Then, students determine the equivalent...

Young scholars work with circles, angles and estimating angles in the night sky. In this circles and angles lesson, students practice measuring a degree using the circumference of a circle and apply the degree to determine a way to use...

Fractions should be visual for beginners; give scholars a few different approaches through these five problems. First, they examine two shapes with shaded sections, writing a fraction to represent the shaded portion. Next, mathematicians...

Using fractions as their artistic guide, learners color in parts of five shape images. Each image is segmented based on the denominator, so scholars simply need to apply the numerator to know how much to color. None of these are mixed...

Apply area calculations to everyday situations using these three word problems. Mathematicians must pay attention to the needs of each space, determining the largest or smallest area of several options. Consider expanding on this by...

If you need some creative ways to teach the order of operations, use a series of activities that focus on properties. Each instructional activity uses different materials and works as a stand-alone activity, or can build upon the...
