Calculate the nutrients in different types of dog biscuits. Pupils create a technical report outlining the amount of calcium, protein, and carbohydrates in three types of dog biscuits. The project-based learning activity requires...

Encourage class members to get creative with functions. Pairs write their names and draw pictures using a graphing application with a collaborative graphic project. The resource provides the requirements for the project, as well as a...

Students discuss why it can be difficult to solve word problems. In this algorithm lesson, students review better methods to outline word problems and solve the problem of the Ice Cream Stands. They discuss how the name Brute Force...

Students identify basic two-dimensional shapes. They are able to identify the four basic two-dimensional shapes: squares, rectangles, triangles, and circles. Students write/draw in their learning logs a reflection of what they noticed...

Geometers find the perimeter and area of rectangles. They discuss the definitions and characteristics of rectangles and squares. In groups, they use yarn to discover the perimeter of squares and rectangles. They count cubes to explore...

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders solve for missing sides and angles of a triangle. They use the pythagorean theorem to solve for the unknown in a right triangle. There are 5 questions on this worksheet.

In this coordinate grid graphing worksheet, young scholars play a game of Battleship on the computer. They answer 21 questions about the coordinate grid and graphing.

In this exponent worksheet, students expand and calculate exponents.  There are 7 questions that have multiple parts and also cover substitution and the order of operations.

Fifth graders use the attached worksheet, Where's My Location? - Directions, to play a game in which they plot points on a grid.

Seventh graders explore basic geometric definitions involving angles, area, and circumference. To reinforce basic geometric concepts, they play a "lightning Flash" card game. Students discuss chores or jobs that require the use of...

Fifth graders explore the context of how and when to use tangrams in geometry. They create and draw a number of different geometric figures using tangrams. Students work on their visual spatial skills.

Fifth graders use estimation to solve problems and assess the reasonableness of their answers. They may use an odometer, a map with a legend, MapQuest, or a map without a legen. They estimate 4 to 5 different scenarios.
