Proportions, proportions, everywhere. Class members complete an assessment task solving problems involving proportionality. They then complete an activity classifying given situations as proportional or non-proportional.

Students explore the distance formula using real world data from nonviolent marches for social change.  In this secondary mathematics lesson plan, students investigate the marches of Gandhi and King using maps overlaid with a...

Eighth graders solve problems using proportions with scaled drawings. They work with maps and blue-prints discussing scales and plans and examine different polygons and figure out the scale factors or proportions they have been changed by.

Learners solve for the different ratio and proportion of a problem. In this geometry lesson, students show their knowledge of how to solve proportional relationships. They convert between percent, decimals and fractions.

There are many ways to correlate coffee to life, but in this case a worksheet looks at the price of two different sizes of coffee. It requires interpreting a graph with two unknown variables, in this case the price, and solving for...

For this assessment task, learners determine whether a crown with given information is composed of pure gold. The task expects algebraic and numerical solution methods, so unlike Archimedes, no bathtub is necessary.

Twelve chapters cover a multitude of math concepts found in the Common Core standards for sixth grade. Each title provides a brief explanation of what you will find inside the chapter—concepts from which you can click on and learn more...

Students are introduced to the concept of ratios. In groups, they convert sets of numbers into a ratio. After practicing, they use the ratios and proportions to solve story problems. They also calculate map distances and discover map...

Students investigate the properties of lines and congruent triangle theorems as well as apply geometric properties and relationships to real-world mathematical problems. Given two different scenarios, they examine maps that have been...
