In this Iditarod worksheet, students complete word problems about fractions, money, and more, based on the Iditarod race. Students complete 10 problems.

Make your classroom interesting by teaching or assessing through tasks. Deepen the understanding of Geometry and motivate young mathematicians. The task uses investigation with tennis balls and their container to prompt learners to...

Here is an excellent cross-curricular activity. Learners relate multiplication to area by making a grid on graph paper, and then creating the same grid in real space outside in the school yard.

A complete instructional activity on dividing whole numbers by other whole numbers and getting a fraction result. Groups of learners use fractions bars, and strips of paper that are cut to specific lengths. The hands-on activities in the...

Does standard deviation work for non-symmetrical distributions, and what does it mean? Through the use of examples, high schoolers determine the standard deviation of a variety of distributions and interpret its...

Students experiment with reflections of two plane mirrors placed at a 90 degree angle to see what will be reflected.

Learners examine the process of drawing a picture to scale. They analyze and discuss real-life blueprints for a house, and create a scale drawing of an original invention using calculators and rulers.

Explore types of angles and the characteristics of each. After observing a PowerPoint Presentation, learners tour the school facilities and use a digital camera to capture prescribed angles. Using the digital pictures and written...

What does translating points on a number line have to do with solving inequalities? Young mathematicians first learn about translations of points on a number line, and then use this information to solve linear inequalities in one variable.

Investigate equivalent fractions with your class. They compare and order fractions. Then they work cooperatively in groups to experiment and problem solve with fractions using a game format. Multiple resources are provided.

This highly scaffolded, summative assessment tasks learners to choose the model that represents the height of a bouncing basketball given the data in graph and table form. Learners then use the model to answer questions about the...

Investigate the area and perimeter of polygons in this geometry lesson plan. Young geometers use grid paper to draw a quadrilateral and calculate its area and perimeter. They also read The Greedy Triangle to identify the changing shape...

An engaging hands-on activity is presented. Learners of all ages are addressed in thie unique plan. K-5 learners identify, name, and define a rectangle, square, triangle, and the concept of area. Older learners prove the Pythagorean...

Children explore fractions on a conceptual level by making individual quilt squares. Each student works with small paper swatches to divide them into pieces that represent a given fraction. The class is then separated into groups and...

Turn your algebra learners into meteorologists. Students are given three graphs that contain information about the weather in Santa Rosa, California during the month of February, 2012. Graph one shows temperatures, graph two displays the...

Here is a very interesting way of studying triangles and polygons. Pupils work together and use pieces of string to create a variety of shapes. Depending on how many kids are manipulating the string at any one time, the number of...

This un-scaffold summative assessment tasks learners to use the height of a bouncing basketball, given the data in graph and table form, to choose the model that is represented. Learners then use the model to answer questions about...

Students determine where to buy the heaviest earthworms as they study invertebrates. They create a double bar graph of the results of the weight data.

Pupils understand that a spreadsheet can be used to find the best scale to use in a model. They place the distances of the planets of the solar system to the Sun in one column of the spreadsheet. Students try different scales so that the...

In this metric units of length worksheet, students working with a partner problem solve and calculate the answers to twenty word problems and mathematical equations involving millimeters and kilometers.

Pupils use chips to represent units to show examples and non examples of fractions. In this fraction lesson plan, students show what chips can be used for different fraction scenarios.

Fourth graders measure the perimeters of several different rooms. They convert the measurements using ratios that allow them to draw the rooms to scale on paper. They draw the dimensions of a house to scale. They measure length to the...

Middle schoolers measure the angles of a milk carton. They identify and label acute, right, and obtuse angles. Using appropriate tools, students determine the volume of a cube or a rectangular prism. Middle schoolers complete...

Students measure distances and report them in fractions, convert fractions to decimals, and multiply decimals.
