Explore how resizing an object affects its area. The set of lessons challenges young mathematicians to design a mascot for electronic devices. These designs undergo resizing to determine how scale factors of dilation affect area.

Fifth and sixth graders compare decimals to the place-value structure in the base-ten number system. They represent fractions as parts of unit wholes, as parts of a set, as locations on a number line, and as divisions of whole numbers....

Setting financial goals is a common occurrence in middle school that your learners can practice using this activity. They will be able to solve for how many hours Seth needs to work to save up for a skateboard, helmet, and trip. The...

Learners experiment with velocity, ratios, and rates. In this data management lesson, students throw a dart with and without using an atlatl and collect and record various data. Learners construct ratios based on the data and determine...

In this math test practice worksheet, students complete a total of 10 problems using a variety of concepts. Page has links to answers and additional activities.

Students work on different mathematical skills that align with state standards. The skill of problem solving is done with reasoning and communication is made to students through solid brain connections to the math concepts.

In this secondary mathematics worksheet, high schoolers determine the solutions to a riddle which involves the selling of peppers and whose solution requires the use of ratio and proportion.  The one page worksheet contains one...

Students investigate currency and exchange rates.  In the middle school mathematics lesson, students use ratio and proportion to convert from Australian currency to the U.S. dollar and vice verse.  Students create their own...

Third graders practice measuring different objects. They discover the concepts of ratio and proportion and practice converting numbers into the correct unit. They read stories as well to help them with the concepts.

Students construct a bar graph with a given set of data. They calculate the ratio and percent of the data. Students discuss alternate ways of graphing the data as well as multiple strategies to approach the task.

In this math activity, students will take home a letter to their parents explaining that they are studying Chapter 10: Ratio, Proportion and Percent. Then students will complete a homework activity in which they ask family and friends...

Fifth graders explore ratios. Using models and real-world scenarios, they complete tables and generate comparisons. Pupils demonstrate multiple ways of writing ratios and describe the differences between ratios.

Aspiring astronomers solve problems involving mixed units of the same attribute, including time, money, length, and area. They convert large numbers into scientific notation, then compute and compare ratios to explain why drawing...

In this algebraic expression worksheet, pupils simplify algebraic expressions and solve proportions, and write equations from story problems. Thirteen of the 49 problems are fill in the blank, and the remainder are multiple choice.

Upper graders will solve equations using order of operations, and create equations that to play a fun math bowling game. They will bowl using dice to practice operations. Extensions are also included.

High schoolers measure various dimensions of a male and a female dolls body and scale them proportionally to average human measurements. They calculate the appropriate scale factor (magnitude) to enlarge their doll and apply that scale...

Challenge your classes while developing their problem-solving skills. A square is divided neatly into four equal triangles by its diagonals until one diagonal is moved from a vertex to the midpoint of one side. Now, scholars must devise...

If members of your class wonder where they can use the math they learn in middle school, let them discover the answer. Learners apply geometry concepts of scale and measure to calculate the costs of framing a house addition.

Students determine the most equitable way to share space and cost between three schools for a fictional science fair. Given a diagram, a word problem, and a data set, students analyze and explain the best way for all schools to share...

Students perform activities involving ratios, proportions and percents. Given a newspaper article, groups of students count the number of letters in a given area. They use calculators and data collected to construct a pie chart and bar...

In this similar figures worksheet, students identify the meaning of similar, corresponding sides, and congruent.  They use proportions to find the length of a missing side.  Students dilate given figures according to a scale...

Convey to your pupils the importance of units, then show how to use dimensional analysis to perform a unit conversion. The math lesson includes detailed worked-out solutions to guide learners in their practice.

Scholars show what they know about data collection and analysis with an activity that examines a smaller population of Houghton, Texas. Independently or in pairs, learners identify their research question, gather, graph, and analyze...
