Fourth graders find the volume of cubes and cylinders. To determine volume, they fill large cubes with centimeter cubes. They discuss the formula used to find the volume of a cube. Students explore why the solution to the volume of a...

Young scholars create graphic, algebraic and verbal ideas of functions. In this algebra lesson plan, students graph functions and identify the zeros of the functions. They find the domain and range and classify functions as relation or not.

Pupils analyze data to make hypotheses and conclusions regarding the predator/prey relationship between moon snail and surf clams.

Young scholars investigate the affect shape has on the ability of a solar panel to collect sunlight.  In this collecting sunlight using a solar panel lesson, students determine which solar panel shape collects the most...

Students create a scale model of a motor neuron that is two hundred times larger than the actual neuron. They identify the structures of a neuron and observe neurons under the microscope then use a worksheet to convert actual sizes into...

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...

Students prepare to take the GED by reviewing basic math concepts. In this geometry lesson plan, students review vocabularies such as formula, perimeter, circumference and other important geometric terms. They convert between the English...

Students solve problems using estimation and exact calculations. In this algebra lesson plan, students use gum balls and thread to create hands on manipulatives to solve problems. They calculate the average of their total data.

Students identify the effect the change of dimensions causes for the volume and surface area. In this geometry lesson, students compare perimeter, area and volume as they play around with the dimensions of the polygons. They discuss...

In this perimeter, area and volume worksheet, 5th graders solve 6 word problems, then tell whether they found perimeter, area or volume.

High schoolers identify rectangular volume calculations, and calculate using formula, concrete table, and calculator.

Students understand the definitions for perimeter and circumference and know the difference. They then go over sample problems as a class. Students use drill and practice skills to complete activity pages.

Learners calculate the surface area of prisms. In this geometry lesson, students investigate the properties of prisms and analyze ways to calculate the are of a rectangular prism. They derive the formula for surface area.

Practice makes perfect! Learners estimate the least squares fit line for a set of data. They understand error involved in least squares fit lines, and solve application problems using least square fit lines.

All 20 of the problems on the worksheet involve the computation of cubic volume or density. As long as your young scientists can apply the appropriate mathematical formulas, they will succeed in solving these problems. They are not...

In this area worksheet learners read story problems, determine the necessary information to solve the problem. They find the amount of material needed to construct three-dimensional figures. Students determine the greatest and least area...

This is more than a activity, this is a full college style list of all the rules related to hyphens and capitals one would need to write excellent papers. You can use this resource to inform your own writing, or to enhance your learner's...

Fifth graders, after reading Island of the Blue Dolphins, explore map making using the Whole Language Approach.

Using a concept attainment approach, learners identify surface area and volume by sorting examples (photos) that depict each concept (positive)  from those that don't (negative). Then as a class, they develop definitions of each...

In this finding volume practice worksheet, learners sharpen their problem solving skills as they solve six story problems.

Seventh graders investigate a ratio found in nature and in numerous pieces of artwork throughout history. The instructional activity is cross-curricular and builds a sense of appreciation of design for students.

In this algebra activity, students apply the concepts of a right triangle to help them solve for the missing sides of a triangle. They use the quadratic formula to solve word problems. There are 5 problems with an answer key.

Second graders learn about plant systems and how plants grow and function. In this plant lesson plan, 2nd graders collect data based on roots, leaves, terrariums, plant uses, and locations of certain kinds of plants. They fill out...

Learners explore proportional reasoning.  In this middle school mathematics instructional activity students investigate scale drawings as they create a proportional representation for the carvings on Mt. Rushmore.
