For this online math worksheet, students calculate the surface area of a variety of solid figures. This excellent resource allows the students to check their answers, and to get "hints" should they run into difficulties. A terrific...

Students explore the concept of understanding the effects of disturbances in an environment.  For this life science lesson, students use the game Jenga to help capture the idea of environment disturbances.  Students discuss the...

Young scholars calculate the volumes of regularly shaped objects from measurements of their dimensions. They use several formulas and measure different objects to calculate the density, volume, and mass of the objects selected or assigned.

Eighth graders measure irregular and regular shaped solids.  In this investigative lesson students calculator volume, mass and density of wood and blocks.

Sixth graders explore characteristics of two and three-dimensional figures. They observe the teacher demonstrate the faces, edges, vertices and names of specific figures. In groups, 6th graders examine and describe given figures. ...

Students need to be able to calculate the volume and surface area of a cuboid as well as present a systematic list of results in order to justify the minimum case. The use of three factors of 100 is also important.

In this measuring by hand learning exercise, students first use a ruler to measure then use their cubit and thumbs to estimate lengths in inches and complete an 'analyze it' and 'explore' question. 

In this volume of prisms worksheet, learners solve 6 problems, finding volume of various items and solving related reasoning problems.

Middle schoolers explore the concept of the golden ratio in nature and architectural design. They discuss examples such as petals on a sunflower and the Parthenon. In small groups they take turns measuring their body parts to find a...

In order to review calculus skills, mathematicians read story problems regarding area, change of rate, volume, and distance. They determine rates per minute, per second, and miles per hour from given information. This two-page...

In this area worksheet, 6th graders solve 6 word problems in which they work with the surface area of prisms. They identify faces, length, height, and width of prisms as they solve the problems.

In this volume of cylinders instructional activity, students solve 6 word problems related to the volume of various cylinders; students find volume, find height, solve reasoning problems and measure to given specifications.

In this volume worksheet, students solve twenty volume of various solids problems.  The solids examined include: cylinders, cubes, rectangular prism, including how the volumes of these figures change with increased in length. ...

Twelfth graders apply the formula for finding the area of a triangle to various problems. They work real life problems for finding the area of a bathroom and the cost of tiling it. They play a game, Triangle Bingo, where they match...

Third graders measure items around the classroom using meter sticks. In this measurement lesson plan, 3rd graders are taught how to measure the length of an item with a meter stick. Inches, centimeters, millimeters, decimeters, and...

Fourth graders draw a rough floor plan of a house to scale without using a ruler to determine measurements. They see how architects use scale to draw blueprints, and solve math problems using scale.

In this math operations worksheet, students solve the math story problems by solving single step operations. There are 10 problems on this worksheet and the answers are on the second page.

In this using proper tools worksheet, students answer a set of 10 multiple choice questions. Students may click on a link to see answers and may print worksheet out.

Learners are introduced to how the different types of rocks formed. As a class, they are read a book about rocks and create a list of what they already know about them. Using examples of rocks they find around the school, they discover...

Fourth graders investigate the weight/mass of a number of items using grams, and equivalents. They examine the use of a triple beam balance before massing objects including oil and water. They go over the weights they amassed and weigh...

Eighth graders explore the concept of the divine proportion/golden ratio. In this Fibonacci Sequence exploratory lesson, 8th graders measure the length and width of various objects to see which items have a divine proportion. Students...

Fifth graders measure different heights and spans on a classmate's body such as full height, head width, leg length, and arm length. They place the data in a spreadsheet, determine the proportions, and draw a portrait using the proper...

High schoolers calculate cubic feet of water and rate of flow, given the formulas for volume, rate of flow and specific dimensions. Students use symbolic forms to represent and analyze mathematical situations and structures. High...

In this online math learning exercise, students practice finding the area of 10 parallelograms given the length and width. When complete, students submit their answers and get instant feedback regarding their accuracy.
