Students explore aspects of the Vietnam War and how it relates to the heritage of America. In an attempt to understand the level of involvement, students analyze statistics from the Vietnam war. Students watch a video, read a book, and...

Students design a budget to plan for a class party. In this problem solving lesson, students devise a budget with a limit of fifty dollars for a class party. Students discuss and estimate the amount of money needed for food and decorations.

Build confidence by using multiple approaches to problem solving! This resource uses a visual and algebraic approach to solving application problems. A discussion is included about efficient approaches to different problems.

Covering both permeability and porosity, scholars perform a hands-on experiment testing various soil types. The material includes a pre-lesson worksheet to help focus pupils on the task at hand. 

Students create scale drawings, and ultimately scale models, of real-world objects in this Math lesson about ratios, proportion, scaling factors, and cross products. The lesson includes ideas for cross-curricular extensions and is...

Students solve and verify the solution for unknown measures. In this geometry lesson plan, students identify the properties of circles. They use the arc, angle and segment relationship to find the missing measures.

Learners examine statistics by completing a skateboard measuring activity. In this flex lesson, students define what skateboard "flex" refers to and identify the proper method of measuring flex by conducting an experiment with pennies...

Middle schoolers examine various triangles and discuss how similar triangles have sides that are proportional. They utilize an ancient Egyptian method to determine the height of a flagpole.

Students use tables showing the ratios between ounces and pounds, grams and kilograms, and pounds and kilograms. They estimate whether an object should be weighed in ounces or pounds and whether an object should be weighed in grams or...

Learners synthesize their knowledge of perspective/point of view with written and visual experiences to produce pieces of art and writing. They discover how one's perspective influence thoughts, decisions, and actions.

Pupils explore the cost of a party. In this math lesson, students plan a party and determine the cost of hosting a party. Pupils use information from grocery stores to determine the unit cost of items for the party.

Learners examine sampling by investigating rocks found in the schoolyard.  In this sampling rocks lesson students collect and analyze a sample of rocks.

Students calculate the probability of a desired outcome based upon a statistically significant number of discrete events (i.e. endgame free-throw attempts). They participate in an online simulation of basketball free throws.

Fifth graders explore geometry by exploring Pi. In this circle measurement lesson, 5th graders identify the relationship between the radius, diameter and circumference of a circle and how Pi is the key to unlocking any circular...

Young scholars investigate the density of liquids. For this geometry lesson, students calculate the volume and differentiate between volume, mass and density. They observe similarity and differences between coke and diet coke.

Young scholars investigate the engineering design process and the relationship between distance, time, and speed. Using a generic car base, small groups design a device that will protect an egg on or in the car as it is rolled down a...

Students perform mathematical calculations to design safety device or enclosure to protect an egg as it is rolled down a ramp at increasing slopes.

Group that class and get them classifying and sorting figures as congruent or similar. They use magazines to identify and label similar and congruent figures, cutting out images and placing c or s next to each image.

Students study the origin of the Fibonacci Sequence.  In this investigative lesson students identify works of art where Golden Spiral or Ratio appear. 

Learners manipulate several metric measuring devices to become competent in their use. Students work cooperatively to complete a worksheet based on the Golden Ration. Learners observe example of sculptures from different cultures and...

In this percentages worksheet, students calculate percentages in eighteen problem solving percentage equations. Students show each step of their work.

Here is a worksheet on which math classes practice calculating the percentage of different numbers. Some of the percentages involve decimals, so this would not be an assignment for first-time percent calculators! You can print the...
