Students measure the relative heights of the mosaic giraffe and its trainer and compare their proportions to an actual giraffe and zoo trainer.

Students solve problems with slopes. In this algebra lesson, students identify the slope of a line and relate it to the rate of change.  They graph their lines on the TI and observe changes in the lines.

Exponential growth is modeled by learners as they analyze and interpret the data presented in this real-life scenario centered on the destructive invasion of the Giant African Land Snail. Learners get a touch of history and practice...

Students create scale models of Earth, the Moon, and the distances within the universe. Working in groups, they construct their models of Earth and the Moon on a scale of 50:1 and calculate how far apart to place their models. They...

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...

Count and compare numbers and fractions using "greater than" and "less than." Learners count on by 2s and 10s and represent the end number with base ten blocks, counters, and cups. They use circle stickers to illustrate fractions and...

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.

Young scholars examine and discuss typical linear equations, and the difference between a linear and nonlinear equation. They observe examples of linear equations and complete a worksheet.

Sixth graders express numbers as percents greater than 100 and less than one. In this lesson on percents, 6th graders work in groups with real life scenarios to develop an understanding on percentages greater than 100 and less than one....

Young scholars use the human body as a foundation for gaining practice in measuring angles and calculating ratios and proportions.

In this similar triangles worksheet, students solve 6 similar triangles. Students use proportions to solve similar triangles and similar rectangles.

Students create a mini city using proportions that fit a model human they construct using tin foil. They plan the city including a library, sports arena, living spaces, parks and businesses. When constructing the paper buildings, they...

In this betting game of odds worksheet, students review and discuss what odds mean and then play a game with a racing post and a ratio fact and worksheet.

High schoolers use similar triangles to find missing heights.  In this using similar triangles to find missing heights lesson, students use proportions to find the heights of missing side lengths.  High schoolers find the...

In this similar triangles worksheet, students find the scale factor of 6 sets of similar triangles. Students find the scale factor of two similar triangles given a sketch with measurements. Students use proportions to find a missing side...

In this algebra worksheet, students rewrite word problems using algebraic symbols. They solve for the amount of population or money over a period of time. There are 10 questions with an answer key.

Eighth graders understand that proportional enlargement of shapes doesn't change the angles of those shapes. In this similarity lesson, 8th graders complete exercises to create enlargements of shapes and understand similar shapes.

Students investigate the traditional method of drying meat used by Native Americans. They apply math concepts such as ratio, proportion, percent, and scientific notation to determine the amount of meat the is dried from an animal using...

In this proportions and similar polygons worksheet, students solve the problems that use proportions, rations, fractions, and similar polygons.

Sixth graders examine how to select samples and apply them to an experiment. In this sampling lesson, 6th graders use a bag of yellow and blue cubes to take a sample. They predict how many of each color there are the bag. They set up and...

Pupils determine the theoretical probability of winning a game of marbles. Individuals compare the theoretical probability to experimental probability for the same game. They continue on to compare two different probability games.

In this math activity, students are given a proportion statement. They use this ratio to solve related questions. Students compute the amount of food needed for one person and then for 500 people. Students convert between Euros, Pounds,...
