Science, technology, and math come together in this one combination exercise. Analyzing the common soda can from both a purely mathematical perspective and a scientific angle allows for a surprisingly sophisticated comparison of...

Just how durable could a hollow ball bearing be? Learners model the strength of the walls of a ball bearing as a function of the radius of its cavity. They use their models to make reasonable conclusions about the probability of failure...

In this statistical process control worksheet, students solve and complete 15 various types of problems. First, they estimate the standard deviation of the given process. Then, students use the target value as a center line and draw a...

In this word problem activity, students solve 1 word problem in short answer format. Students determine the amount of candy to put in ten bags to fill any order between one and one thousand.

Pupils graph a linear inequality and describe its solution set. They solve a system of linear equalities graphically and symbolically. Students set up and solve a system of linear inequalities using linear programming techniques. They...

Students solve problems using estimation and exact calculations. In this algebra lesson, 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 radius and diameter of a circle. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the volume and area of a cylinder and circle. They relate the circumference of a circle to Pi.

Students apply the Unit Circle to solve ratios of triangles. In this geometry lesson, students derive the different ratios of a triangle using the Pythagorean Theorem. They find the angles of a unit circle using a right triangle.

In this greater numbers worksheet, students enhance their understanding of the number 1 million by answer the six word problems that use the number in various forms.

Students are introduced to linear inequalities in slope-intercept form. As a class, they participate when needed in a demonstration given by their teacher and practice graphing inequalities and describing the solution. They set up and...

Sixth graders read and discuss background and vocabulary. They use the background to develop a flow chart showing the movement of food from farm to table and work independently or in groups to complete an activity. They then use Internet...
