Young mathematicians learn how to solve problems involving stratified sampling. They review concepts of sampling and proportionality by watching a video and then they complete a worksheet of questions on this topic.

Investigate the use of ratios in scale drawings. Learners scale objects up or down using ratios then find the actual size of something using ratios. They apply their knowledge of ratios as they make their own telescopes in science...

A quick problem to test your middle schoolers' knowledge of dividing with decimals. Also a good practice of unit rates, they must compute the cost of one gallon of gas when given the total amount for a fill up. Can be used as a preface...

You don't have to be a Minecraft wiz to know that this app has great playability for your learners! As afterschool programs and classroom projects around the world demonstrate, this game goes well beyond placing blocks and traditional...

Loaded with concepts ranging from multiplying decimals to converting units to solving problems using the order of operations, a thorough practice packet is perfect for a fifth or sixth grade math classroom.

Use algebra to solve real world problems. Mathematicians practice use of graphs, tables, and linear functions to solve a problem regarding mp3 purchase plans. They work in groups to solve the problem and present their findings and...

In this measurement worksheet, students use liner measure with a provided ruler to determine the distance between objects. Using a map scale, they evaluate the actual distance. Students may use their knowledge of proportions to solve...

In this measurement worksheet, students use a ruler to measure, in inches, the distance of various line segments. Then, using the scale drawing, they determine the actual distance in miles. Students may use their knowledge of proportions...

In this similar triangles learning exercise, students use proportions to solve for the missing sides of similar triangles. This two-page learning exercise contains 16 multi-step problems.

In this linear functions worksheet, students problem solve and calculate the answers to five linear equations associated with volume, point-slope forms, initial value forms and slope-intercept forms.

For this ratio and proportion worksheet, 6th graders solve and complete 5 different types of problems. First, they determine the amount of money each person receives. Then, students calculate the recipe at the bottom of the sheet for 3...

In this ratio and proportion worksheet, students solve 12 problems in which the ratios of shaded and unshaded tiles are calculated. Students use the provided pictures to write ratios.

Fourth graders use colored beads in two problems and explore the use of proportional reasoning as a problem solving method. Working Students, in groups, explain their reasoning strategies orally, and through drawings.

Students collect data, interpret data summarize proportional reasoning. Students determine (with various alternate goods) the number of fish in a nearby pond. Students capture the goldfish crackers, deal with pretzels and then write...

Young scholars examine composition of dirty bomb and its possible effects on a city, and investigate simulations of such an event; students use computational and problem solving skills to assess damage and prepare report proposing...

Sixth graders engage in problem solving, communicating, reasoning, and connecting to represent and solve problems, using geometric models.

This lesson is designed after research done on the ecology of soil lichen in the Tucson Basin area during the summers of 1997 and 1998. Its purpose is to guide students into adopting the problem solving thinking of ecologists. The lesson...

Students figure out the mileage from one state to another using a map. In this map lesson, students look at the scale factor and turn it into a fraction. They measure the distance between two cities and use the proportion to find the...

Sixth graders explore a relevant application of ratios and proportions. They apply this concept through guided practice and interactive feedback.

Can you tell how tall someone is just by looking at their feet? In this activity, young mathematicians measure their height, arm span, and foot size, graph their findings, and answer questions about how these measurements are related....

In this assessment task, learners determine whether a crown with given information is composed of pure gold. The task expects algebraic and numerical solution methods, so unlike Archimedes, no bathtub is necessary.

Put your learners to the test and see how well they can calculate percentages of numbers. The ten-problem worksheet doesn't specify which method to use to solve, which gives them the freedom to choose. 

With so many math standards to fit into a school year, it can be difficult keeping track of what you have and have not covered. This collection of Common Core checklists allows you to maintain a running record of when each...
