Apply geometric concepts to a design problem. Individuals examine the structural setup of the chain on a bicycle and use the measurements of the circles to determine the length of the chain. 

In this bicycles and tricycles worksheet, students solve and complete 8 different problems that include counting the number of bicycles and tricycles in each store. First, they complete the table for the number of wheels on the bikes in...

"Ordinary" bicycles are not so ordinary. Learners use given information to determine the circumference of wheels for a historic Ordinary or Penny Farthing bicycle. Pupils then determine the number of times each wheel turns when the...

Model a bicycle chain with circles and tangent lines. Given the dimensions of the sprocket wheels, young scholars calculate the length of the chain that surrounds them. A second task has learners write a function for the length of a...

In this pedal power worksheet, students solve a math puzzle in order to determine how much power could be generated by pedaling a bicycle. They try to figure out how much power would be needed to run a child's laptop, and how much...

In this math worksheet, learners read facts about bicycling, saving fuel and helping the environment. Students are given math facts to use to complete 5 problems.

This terrific task is appropriate for practicing calculating times and distances for people riding bikes. Strangely, the publisher has marked this as designed for third through fifth grade Common Core math standards, but the skills are...

Second graders observe and demonstrate how to add and subtract three-digit numbers as they relate to word problems. They discuss an annual bike ride in Iowa, and solve problems on an activity sheet along with the teacher. Students draw a...

It's a great day for a bike ride, but how long will it take? Your learners will have to calculate multiple variables in the problem using scaffolded questioning. Different answer choices are given, but you will need to create the table...

Show your classes the importance of mathematics in something as simple as bicycle design. The final lesson in the six-part STEM series has each group research a different aspect of the bicycle. Learners use mathematical formulas, linear...

If you're measuring a bicycle, would you use inches, feet, or yards? What about when you measure a shoe, or a flagpole? Explore measurement with this worksheet, which prompts third graders to use their critical-thinking skills. Three...

Students explore gears.  In this simple machines and ratio lesson, students view a video clip in which front and rear bicycle gears are explained. From a set of gear combinations and gear ratios, students identify high and low gear...

The number of bicycle wheel turns is as good as any way to describe the distance from school to home. An interactive lets young mathematicians determine the number of city blocks a person bicycles. They use this information along with an...

Do people ride, slide, or do both? Pupils use an interactive Venn diagram for the numbers of people owning bicycles, owning skateboards, or both. An interactive provides questions for them to answer using the diagram.

Which is longer? Learners explore measurement through 10 object comparisons. They measure each object against a row of squares, each square representing one meter. Although the directions simply ask which item is larger, encourage kids...

You aced the first test, so your score on the second one shouldn't matter, right? Young pupils first draw a best fit line on a provided scatter plot showing test scores for two different tests. They then evaluate five...

Students practice addition facts, record data, and construct a bar graph. In this probability activity, students participate in a board game in which bicycles move towards a finish line based on players completing addition problems. Dice...

Students examine the use of variable and ratio in everyday situations including figuring out the gear ratios for the gears on a 12 speed bike. They use the bubble sort technique to write a computer program which will determine the...

Students examine physics by completing a bicycle experiment in class. In this gravity activity, students measure the characteristics of different bicycles and compare their different race times. Students utilize a shoebox,...

Eighth graders explore representing fractions as ratios and proportions. They model proportions through the use of blocks, LEGO gears and activities with bicycle gears and pedals. Students work with bicycle gear boxes to observe and...

Twelfth graders solve problems involving linear and angular speed. Using information about a compact disc, they solve the problem using multiple rates and conversion factors. Students also solve additional problems involving bicycle...

In this ruler measurement worksheet, students measure a set of books, a bookcase and a bicycle with the ruler provided and then place their answers in the boxes provided.

In this math worksheet, students read a rhyming poem about Max's adventure, then answer a word problem, complete 5 questions using a map of the bicycle route Max used.

In this making comparisons instructional activity, students examine the pictures of a car, a bicycle, a sailboat, and an airplane. Students rank the 4 modes of transportation according the how quickly the travel.
