The original drawing is eight units — how big is the scale drawing? Classmates determine the scale percent between a scale drawing and an object to calculate the length of a portion of the object. They use the percent equation to find...

Design your dream classroom. The lesson plan contains an exercise to have teams create a scale drawing of their dream classroom. Pairs take the measurements of their classroom and furniture and create a scale factor for them. To finish...

To plot a point in the coordinate plane, you first need a coordinate plane. Pupils learn to draw an appropriate set of axes with labels on a coordinate plane. They must also determine a reasonable scale to plot given coordinate pairs on...

You sank my battleship! The iconic cry of the time-honored game, Battleship will be heard in classrooms with this learning game that requires only grid paper, pencils, and an introductory knowledge of the first quadrant of the coordinate...

Use the handout as guided or independent practice in drawing a reflection of a rectangle over a line. Three rectangles are provided for practice in addition to a critical thinking question.

A dimensional resource teaches viewers to recognize 2-D views of 3-D objects and how to match nets with their 3-D figures. Individuals draw different views of three-dimensional objects including views from the front, side...

I like algebra, but graphing is where I draw the line! Worksheet includes three multiple-part questions on interpreting and drawing line graphs. It focuses on the abstract where neither axis has numbers written in, though both are...

Take flight with a fun activity focused on graphing data on a coordinate plane. As learners study the data for Granny's hot-air balloon trip, including the time of day and the distance of the balloon from the ground, they practice...

What in the world are they doing? Given two graphs, scholars interpret the graphs and connect them to a real-world situation. They must also draw a graph given information about a context.

What a great assessment to give young mathematicians in order to test their knowledge on two- and three-dimensional shapes. Learners name various shapes, identify the number of edges, faces, and vertices, match an unfolded version of a...

Using a number line, as a class, discuss the concept of the number after. Choosing numbers on the number line, ask your kindergartners what number comes next and point to that number. Once the class has this concept down, pair-up and...

A different-than-normal problem that allows learners to practice their reasoning to find an answer. The problem bases itself off a graph drawing of a store that needs to install security cameras. The challenge is to find which placement...

If members of your class wonder where they can use the math they learn in middle school, let them discover the answer. Learners apply geometry concepts of scale and measure to calculate the costs of framing a house addition.

Drive home math concepts with an engaging task. Learners follow a verbal description to fill in a table and create a distance-time graph representing a car journey. They then answer questions by interpreting the graph.

Learn how to display data. Young data analysts watch a video to review how to create cumulative frequency histograms and box plots. They work on a set of questions to practice producing these data displays.  

A function is like a machine that has an input and an output. Challenge scholars to look at the eight given points and determine the two functions that would fit four of the points each — one is linear and the other non-linear. The...

Enough stuffed crust to go around. Pupils calculate the area and perimeter of a variety of pizza shapes, including rectangular and circular. Individuals design rectangular pizzas with a given area to maximize the amount of crust and do...

Pupils design a fence for a backyard pool. Scholars develop a fence design based on given constraints, determine the amount of material they need, and calculate the cost of the project. 

Learners follow a series of instructions for drawing and coloring different shapes in order to learn the difference between the perimeter and area of a polygon. Then they are asked to find the perimeter and area of a 3x4 rectangular...

Class members explore how to read and use histograms by watching a video on creating and analyzing histograms. To finish, the class works on a set of questions that tests these skills.

When did letters become the same as numbers? Scholars learn about substituting numbers for letters to evaluate algebraic expressions in the seventh part in a series of 36. The lesson focuses on expressions related to geometry, such as...

That's the ticket! Pupils write and investigate two linear functions representing the cost of printing tickets. Individuals then determine which of two printing companies would be a better buy.

Learners first create designs for greeting cards by applying transformations of shapes on a coordinate plane, and then determine a sequence of transformations that produces a given design.

Are congruent shapes compatible? Congruent shapes are identical to one another, and throughout the assessment, young mathematicians identify given shapes as congruent.
