Learners calculate the size of a mummy case and its contents using ancient Egyptian measurements.

In this 3D shapes worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 5 various types of problems. First, they find the area of the logo item shown. Then, students find the height of a cuboid given its length and width. In addition, they circle...

In this cell reproduction worksheet, students will discover that when a cube doubles in size, the surface area grows by four times and the volume grows by eight times. Students will use this information to understand the limits to cell...

In this geometry learning exercise, students study diagrams with labels of common geometric figures. Students then answer 24 questions. Then they draw and label their own figures.

In this density worksheet, high schoolers review this property of matter and the mathematical equations for density, mass, and volume. The worksheet has 10 fill in the blank statements and 3 word problems.

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders solve application word problems involving the use or right triangle trigonometry, including angle of elevation or depression. The one page interactive worksheet contains five questions. Hints,...

Ten similar worksheets plus their answer keys are included in this resource. Each simply displays three right rectangular prisms with their length, height, and width printed on them. Fifth graders apply the formula for the volume of a...

Second graders explore geometric shapes. In this lesson about geometry, 2nd graders create their own vest using geometric shapes. Students work with a partner and fit their partner for the vest they design. Students understand geometric...

Students explore Green Construction. For this lesson based on the experiences of Peace Corps volunteers, students gain insight into alternative construction in Guatemala. They examine the pros and cons of using alternative building...

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders calculate the surface area and volume of a cube. The one page interactive worksheet contains ten questions. Answers and hints are included. 

Students build a boat and make predictions. In this geometry lesson plan, students design a cargo boat. They must show that the boat they designed can carry the cargo.

Seventh graders practice measuring skills as they add mixed fractions. For this fractions lesson, 7th graders measure the distance from their wrist to the tip of their finger, record the measurement, and repeat this procedure with other...

In this density of the human body activity, students measure several parts of the body to calculate the body volume. Students convert the body volume to body mass and body density.

Middle schoolers evaluate mathematical problems using the formulas for volume. They recognize "perspective" in different shapes including cubes, pyramids and cylinders. Students practice on brainstorming all the different shapes and how...

Students measure a set of Russian dolls using the metric system. In this measurement lesson plan, students identify certain relationships between sets of measurements by measuring a set of Russian dolls and presenting their findings to...

Students investigate snails and their physical and behavioral characteristics.  In this investigative lesson students create a pie chart to show the results of their findings.

Students identify, model, and label simple fractions. They describe and define them as equal parts of a whole, a region and a set. Students use words to describe fractions. They use manipulatives to explore the many different fractions.

Students study the metric system and examine other ways to measure.  For this measurement lesson students complete activities that help them to better understand the measuring system.
