This isn't your ordinary short story with questions; it's actually two tales in one. First, find out what happens with Ned and Rover, then switch characters to discover the what happens between Jack and Rover.

Comparing and contrasting is an important skill, even in mathematics. A drag-and-drop interactive has users classify situations as suitable for permutations or combinations. A set of challenge questions tests whether they know the...

What is your car worth? How much do you owe? Individuals create their personal cash flow and balance sheets. They learn the difference between an asset and liability using their personal information to complete the activity.

Inquiry-based learning and investigations form the basis of a deep understanding of quadratic functions in a very thorough unit plan.  Learners develop recursive and closed methods for representing real-life situations,...

Students explore intersecting lines. In this intersecting lines lesson plan, students investigate shapes consisting of parallel, perpendicular, and similar lines. Students investigate these lines in shapes around them.

In this greatest and least area game worksheet, students cut out the cards, draw a card and record the measurement in the length or width column of a graph. When all columns have been filled, they calculate the areas to find the winner...

Engage scholars in a ratio lesson that employs real-world scenarios. Learners will compare the length and width of pictures and use a table to identify ratio patterns. They watch "Math Can Take You Places" and discuss jobs that use math...

It's all about lines when going around. Pupils graph the relationship between the length of a side of a square and its perimeter. Class members explain the origin in context of the side length and perimeter. They compare the graph to the...

Explore number value with learners through playing cards. They examine sets of three cards, adding up the value and comparing it to another set of three. Learners write in which is greater than or is less than to show number value...

Use measures of variance to compare and analyze data sets. Pupils match histograms of data sets to their respective statistical measures. They then use calculated statistics to further analyze groups of data and use the results to make...

How can you tell if number relationships are proportional? Mathematicians investigate proportional relationships. They compare and contrast functions and graphs to determine the characteristics of proportional relationships, as well as...

Ordering numbers just got physical! Learners practice putting numbers in sequence, both in fraction and decimal form. To begin, they line up in birthday order and discuss the difference between ascending and descending. They are then...

Young mathematicians mark nine specific three-digit whole numbers on a number line. They compare/contrast 20 number expressions with one of the following signs: <, >, and/or =.

Making connections between a function, table, graph, and context is an essential skill in mathematics. Focused on comparing linear and exponential relationships in all these aspects, this resource equips pupils to recognize and interpret...

The 26th part of a 28-part series requires pupils to determine whether the answer to a problem requires surface area or volume. The class works problems about fish tanks that prompt individuals to decide, based on the question, which...

Students sort through numerous seeds to find similarities and differences. In this sorting and classifying lesson plan, students divide up different plant seeds based on their similarities and differences, while keeping record of their...

Practice comparing number values in a variety of activities on this worksheet. Youngsters complete a statement comparing 20 to 20, choosing from three options: is greater than, is less than, and is equal to. Then, they put four numbers...

As they examine sets of shapes, learners compare the number of objects in each pair. There are eight comparisons total, and scholars use the symbols .

Examine short number sequences to help scholars explore value comparisons. They look at various given numbers (both two-digit and three-digit) and write in values that are less or more by specific one-digit numbers (i.e. three less, two...

Sixth graders identify how fractions and decimals both illustrate parts of a whole. They estimate which number is greater by comparing them to the given fraction and use greater than or less than symbols for each.

Students study place value. Students participate in place value and number relay games, write numbers in words, and discuss how numbers are read. As a class, they discuss the meaning of less than and grater than signs. Students use...

Explore linear and nonlinear models to help your class build their function skills. In a continuation of the previous activity, learners continue to analyze and sketch functions that model real-world situations. They progress from linear...

Who knew there were so many fun educational opportunities featuring pasta? Scholars read a brief informational text about the history of pasta (note that "macaroni" is spelled two different ways, so address this if kids are reading...

Third graders develop their algebraic thinking by recognizing a variety of patterns using concrete objects, numbers, tables, and pictures. In this George and Sam Save for a present lesson, 3rd graders communicate their mathematical...
