Just what does it take to show two rhombuses are similar? The assessment task asks pupils to develop an argument to show that given quadrilaterals are rhombuses. Class members also use their knowledge of similar triangles to show two...

For some, probability is a losing proposition. The assessment item requires an understanding of fraction operations, probability, and fair games. Pupils determine the fractional portions of an event. They continue to determine whether...

Most problems can be solved using more than one method. A worksheet includes just nine questions but many more ways to solve each. Scholars must graph, solve, and justify quadratic problems.

Thirty at the party won't cost any more than twenty-five. The assessment task provides a scenario for the cost of a party where the initial fee covers a given number of guests. The class determines the cost for specific numbers of guests...

Teach your class to think outside the box. Scholars use the concept of equality to solve a problem in the assessment task. They determine how to use a scale to identify the one box out of a set of nine boxes that is heavier than the others.

What figure is formed by connecting the midpoints of the sides of a quadrilateral? The geometry assessment task has class members work through the process of determining the figure inscribed in a quadrilateral. Pupils use geometric...

The mean might not always be the best representation of the average. The assessment task has individuals determine the measures of center for the salaries of a company. They determine which of the three would be the best representation...

Pupils investigate the relationship between fractals and sequences. In this geometry lesson plan, students build a fractal tree. They investigate different career fields where fractals are used in the real world.

In this math worksheet, students build a truncated dodecahedron. This is a solid shape with 12 regular decagonal faces and 20 equilateral triangular faces. Students build this shape to assist in developing their cognitive and geometric...

In this math worksheet, middle schoolers construct a paper model of a tetrahedron. They create it to have four triangle faces, four vertices and six edges.

For this math worksheet, students develop cognitive and geometric abilities. They construct a paper model of a octahedron composed of eight triangular faces, six vertices and 12 edges.

In this math worksheet, students develop their cognitive and motor skills through constructing the geometric solid of a rhombicuboctahedron

In this math worksheet, students use a paper model to build a truncated icosidodecahedron. The worksheet includes a model that is to be cut out and put together by the student. There is an option to include a small preview of the...

In this math worksheet, students build a model of a truncated icosahedron. This shape has 12 regular pentagonal faces and 20 regular hexagonal faces. An option to include a preview of the finished model is included for the teacher.

Fourth graders find the volume of solids. In groups, 4th graders use spinners to determine the dimensions of solids. They construct the shapes, creating a model of the figure Students count the cubes in the model to determine the...

In this dodecahedron worksheet, students build a model of a dodecahedron. The pattern for this shape is made up of twelve pentagons. This is a worksheet generator, and the teacher can choose if a sample of the completed shape will be...

Be 100 percent confident who has the most and by how much. Pupils use percentages to help make the comparisons by finding what percent one quantity is of the other. They also determine the percent differences between the two...

In this math worksheet, students read about the truncated tetrahedron and then create a paper model. It should look like a solid comprised of 4 regular hexagonal faces, 4 regular triangular. faces, 12 vertices and 18 edges.

In this math worksheet, students create a geometric paper model of a rombicosidodecahedron solid that is considered a challenging project.

Work it out — find the average time clients spend at a gym. Pupils use a table of random digits to collect a sample of times fitness buffs are working out. The scholars use their random sample to calculate an estimate of the mean of the...

Students participate in a lesson that is concerned with the concepts of arrays and factors. They use a Hershey bar and divide it into segments in order to simulate the arrays. Then students construct other arrays from the leftover pieces.

Larvae transportation on the New England seamounts is based on the density of the water. Scholars calculate density and graph salinity versus temperature to better understand the distribution of organisms in a water column....

Young scholars research tall buildings and identify the geometric shapes used in the construction of the buildings. They compare shapes and infer why some are better than others in building. They produce a multimedia presentation of...
