In this estimating sums activity, students write a greater than or less than sign to solve the addition sentences. Students first use estimation to help them compare the numbers.

The Hopewell people of the central Ohio Valley used right triangles in the construction of earthworks. Pupils use the Pythagorean Theorem to determine missing dimensions of right triangles used by the Hopewell people. The assessment task...

Scholars identify and continue the numerical pattern for the number of wheels on a train. Using the established pattern and its inverse, they determine whether a number of wheels is possible. Pupils finish...

Sew up your unit on operations with decimals using this assessment task. Young mathematicians use given rules to determine the amount of fabric they need to sew a pair of pants. They must also fill in a partially complete bill for...

Parallelograms are pairs of triangles all the way around. Pupils measure to determine the area and perimeter of a parallelogram. They then find the area of the tirangles formed by drawing a diagonal of the parallelogram and compare their...

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...

The class braids irrational numbers, Pythagoras, and perimeter together. The mini-assessment requires scholars to use irrational numbers and the Pythagorean Theorem to find perimeters of rugs. The rugs are rectangular, triangular,...

In this machine representation of a number worksheet, students explore definitions such as floating-point, round-off error, binary representation of a number, mantissa, and sign bit. They identify significant digits and determine how...

In this population worksheet, students read word problems relating to population growth. They write the problem as a differential equation, create models and graphs of the solution. This three-page worksheet contains 10 multi-step...

The class gets their mean and median all in a row with an assessment task that uses a population of ducklings to work with data displays and measures of central tendency. Pupils create a frequency chart and calculate the mean and median....

Class members discover how to extend division to fractions to mixed numbers. Individuals first review how to convert mixed numbers to improper fractions and then apply division strategies learned in previous lessons. A memory game...

Scholars learn to divide multi-digit numbers using the standard algorithm in the 14th installment in a module of 21 parts. They get plenty of practice with the algorithm by completing a worksheet.

In this Riemann Sums learning exercise, students use the Riemann Sums method to approximate the area under the curves. This two-page learning exercise contains three problems.

In this Riemann sums learning exercise, students use accumulation to find the estimate for the area of a given shape. Students use Riemann sums to estimate the area under the curves and error stacks to bound the error of their...

In this roots worksheet, students identify the local maxima and minima for a function. Students find the roots of the function using roots and Newton's Method of approximation. This three-page worksheet contains examples, explanations...

In this estimation instructional activity, learners solve a total of 6 word problems that involve rounding to a given place value and estimating.

Designers in Prague are not diagonally challenged. The mini-assessment provides a complex pattern made from blocks. Individuals use the pattern to find the area and perimeter of the design. To find the perimeter, they use the Pythagorean...

Rules are meant to be broken ... but not integer multiplication and division rules. Learners use chips to model integer multiplication and division. The results of the activity help them develop integer rules for these operations.

In this math learning exercise, students try to fit a line to a set of data. Then they use the least squares method is based on minimizing the sum of the squares of the errors.

In this math worksheet, students practice converting binary numbers from one base to another. Then they read the related vocabulary definitions.

In this linear function worksheet, students explain how the linear function relates to direct proportionality. They answer questions dealing with slope fields, rate equations and illustrate Euler's Method. After answering six...

Put the better archer in a box. The performance task has pupils compare the performance of two archers using box-and-whisker plots. The resource includes sample responses that are useful in comparing individuals' work to others.

In this recursion worksheet, students determine the successive approximations of square roots by using the Babylonian Algorithm. They discuss how to derive Newton's Method from the microscopic approximation. This four-page worksheet...
