Students create projects on Astronomy using math concepts and use of Internet resources.

Compose and decompose sets of 13 and 14 and compare sets of each with your little learners. They use objects to construct sets of 13 and 14, record their answers, and compare sets in several different ways.

Future environmental scientists compare data from two different conservation strategies. Alone this lesson is sufficient, but as part of the Exploring Biomes unit produced by the Arizona Fish and Game Department, it becomes top-notch. 

Identify the length, width, and height of prisms. Critical thinkers calculate the volume of prisms given small amounts of information. They derive the formula given the length, width and height.

Students practice saying their numbers and identifying the words. They use whole numbers and decimals to practice grouping numbers into different categories. They write the word of the number they are shown.

Students research about cartography and how to be a cartographer. In this math activity, students draw a map of their classroom. They use a robot to explore navigation using a compass rose.

Students work in groups that are engaged in different activities at different times. They watch the video "Madagascar" and collect data pertaining to the Fish Eagle's arm spam. They work together to perform mathematical computations...

Eighth graders discover the relationship between speed, distance, and time. They calculate speed and represent their data graphically. They, in groups, design a ramp for their matchbox car. The goal is to see who's ramp produces the...

Learners construct three-dimensional models of the three pyramids at Giza. They research the building of the pyramids and record the height, base and angle measurements of each pyramid. They create a file of facts regarding the pyramids.

Students collect data, use a computer spreadsheet program to create various graphs, and compare the graphs. They state the findings of each graph in writing and decide which graph type best represents the data.

Students solve problems dealing with percents using "is over of" algorithm.

Students explain why a transiting planet causes a periodic dimming in the light from its parent star. They determine the radius of a planet, and its orbital distance, by analyzing data and manipulating equations. Students compare the...

For this percents activity, learners complete 3 charts in which percents, decimals and fractions are converted. Students also solve 20 problems with the changing of percents to decimals or fractions.

In this understanding percent learning exercise, students fill in the missing parts for examples of number of colored parts and total numbers and use them to complete charts and rewrite sentences using the exact amount of things and...

Students find percents and unit price using popcorn.

Students, in groups, determine the volume of a box large enough to hold a million dollars. They calculate the dimensions of a bill and the volume of the money.

In this online percentages worksheet, students access the Library of Virtual Manipulatives web site and open the percentage tool. They use the online tool to complete 8 multi-step questions making graphical representations and finding...

Students sort a bag of M&M's by colors and solve a variety of comparison problems. They determine which pile of M&M's has the most, the least, and answer questions comparing two piles. Students also order the piles of M&M's...

Students solve problems using geometric means. In this geometry lesson, students create altitudes in right triangles. They use Cabri software to move the triangle around and observe different sides and angles.

Student identify the solution using geometric mean. In this geometry lesson, students create right triangles where the altitude of the triangle is the side containing the right angle. They modify shapes using Cabri software and observe...

In this basic subtraction facts worksheet, students problem solve and calculate the answers to twenty subtraction equations. Students double-check their answers with their classmates.

Students measure using tools they have made. In this algebra lesson, students measure the height and distance using non-traditional measuring methods. They apply their findings to algebra and trigonometry properties of measurements.

In this similarity worksheet, students determine the length, area and volume of similar figures. This three-page worksheet contains explanations, examples, and 20 problems. Answers are provided on page three.

Learners identify triangles as similar or congruent. In this geometry lesson, students drag triangles around on the navigator to see the effect of different angles on the shape of the triangle. They discuss angle similarity and angle...
