Students investigate simple machines. In this simple machines lesson, students explore how tools increase productivity and make life easier. Students experiment with simple tools and discover the parts of each tool.

In this phrasal verbs worksheet, students complete a 10 question multiple choice on-line interactive exercise about the meaning of verbs with "take".

Students relate data to coordinate graphs and plot points on this graph. They use minimum wage data to construct the graph. Students decide appropriate time intervals for the graphs. They share graphs with their classmates.

For this slopes of lines worksheet, 10th graders solve and graph 10 different problems. First, they determine the slope of each line named in the figure and any line parallel to line b and perpendicular to line d. Then, students graph...

In this shape identification worksheet, students mark the correct answer to each of 4 multiple choice questions while working on-line. They choose from 4 choices as they identify a square, triangle, circle, and rectangle. They print the...

In this graphing worksheet, 5th graders focus on rotations. Students use rotations of 90 degrees and 180 degrees to create 6 geometric figures that are represented.

In this number puzzle worksheet, 5th graders use multiplication and division to fill in the missing numbers. They examine a key and fill in the shapes with the numbers that make each puzzle true.

In this geometry worksheet, students draw a line from each of four shape on the left to the matching shape on the right. They match colors and shapes which include a diamond, a circle, a triangle and a square.

Students access prior knowledge of coordinates. In this coordinates instructional activity, students graph coordinate points to create a symmetrical figure and of a straight line. Students complete several practice examples.

In this 6th grade math instructional activity, 6th graders solve 25 multiple choice questions.  Students determine coordinate of figures, use units of measure, expand exponents, etc.

First graders analyze characteristics of geometric shapes. They identify, describe, and create simple geometric figures. They analyze characteristics of geometric shapes and determine the defining attributes of a circle,...

Students look at the geometry in an artwork. In this art history/geometry instructional activity, students research the artist Charles Sheeler and look at his painting Stacks in Celebration. They find the different types of lines,...

Third graders explore vocabulary associated with three dimensional figures.  In this transformations instructional activity, 3rd graders create two dimensional nets for three dimensional figures.  Students become familiar with...

Fifth graders use estimation to solve word problems. In this fractions instructional activity, 5th graders decide whether or not an answer to a work problem is reasonable by applying their knowledge of fractions, decimals and estimation....

Students explore geometry by participating in a shape rotation experiment. In this symmetry lesson, students identify the term symmetry and a list of other geometry vocabulary. Students analyze shapes as they are turned 90 degrees and...

Solids come in many shapes and sizes. Using geometry, scholars create two-dimensional cross-sections of various three-dimensional objects. They develop the lesson further by finding the volume of solids. The module then shifts...

This unit on connecting algebra and geometry covers a number of topics including worksheets on the distance formula, finding the perimeter and area of polynomials, the slope formula, parallel and perpendicular lines, parallelograms,...

Are pyramids and cones similar in definition to prisms and cylinders? By examining the definitions, pupils determine that pyramids and cones are subsets of general cones. Working in groups, they continue to investigate the relationships...

Pupils multiply the vertical and horizontal distances from the center of dilation by the scale factor. The independent practice prompts the class to analyze the relationship between the image and pre-image. The lesson is...

Your class may believe that geometry is a trial, but they don't know how right they are. A thorough math lesson combines the laws of logic with the laws of geometry. As high schoolers review the work of historical mathematicians and...

How well does the class understand dilations? The three-part assessment presents problems related to the properties of dilations. Pupils perform dilations and determine whether a dilation is responsible for a specific image.

Clarify the Common Core standards for your eighth grade mathematicians with this series of classroom displays. By rewriting each standard as an achievable "I can" statement, these posters give students clear goals to work toward...

How do you prepare class members for the analytical thinking they will need in the real world? An assessment requires the higher order thinking they need to be successful. The module focuses on the concept of rigid transformations...
