Two Study Buddies worksheets can be found through this link. In the first, math minors count flowers by 1s, and then again by 2s. They answer a few related questions. In the second, they are instructed to work with a partner and clap out...

Learners investigate acoustical ceilings.  In this acoustical ceilings lesson plan, students construct a blueprint for an acoustical ceiling.  Learners use area and perimeter of rectangles to construct their blueprint. ...

Students explore math functions by completing a problem solving worksheet in class. In this division lesson, students utilize visual aides such as marshmallows and candy to visualize the act of division. Students complete a division...

Third graders review telling time. For this lesson on telling time, 3rd graders discuss various items that show length of time, including clocks, calendars and sand timers. Students review and practice what they already know about...

Students use several examples to create a method for adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators. They present these methods to the class and then practice applying methods to sample problems.

Students investigate art elements such as color schemes and proportion by creating their own personal Mandala Circle on paper or canvas. This also allows students to investigate mathematical concepts such as tesselations or social...

Students practice the concept of limits graphically, numerically and algebraically. They participate in an exploration lab, BINGO game and complete a puzzle.

Students collect data from measurements and weights for this experiment. In this algebra lesson, students analyze graphs they create form their data to find the expression representing the data. They label which graph provided the best...

Young scholars work to develop surveys and collect data. They display the data using circle graphs, histograms, box and whisker plots, and scatter plots. Students use multimedia tools to develop a visual presentation to display their data.

In this math worksheet, students practice standard and expanded notation by solving 33 problems. Students break numbers down to tens and ones and write as addition, then reverse the process to write the standard form.

Students discover the two types of division problems.  In this number division lesson, students identify repeated subtraction and sharing division problems.  Students create word problems utilizing the two different types of...
