For this cryptography/cryptanalysis worksheet, students work with a group and use logic and cryptography techniques to solve problems.

Pupils review the concept of median, explore how to calculate quartiles for any size data set and experience how to build a box plot.

Students construct two bell curves using two different yet related objects. For example, two kinds of Hershey's Kisses (plain and almond) or two kinds of dried beans (kidney and lima).

Students explain normal distribution of a measurable characteristic within a group of objects. They create two graphs (one for each type of Hershey's Kiss) with increments of measurement on the X-axes and number of measurements on the...

Students compare things that are greater than, less than, or equal to, compare the Earth to other planets, and list planets from greatest size to smallest size.

Students identify the coins and bills used in the United States. They write the amounts of each bill and coin and practicing counting different amounts. They follow a demonstration about how to count money as well.

Fifth graders accurately measure the distance to eight points on an uneven surface by conducting a simulation of sattelite altimetry. They create a two-dimensional model of the simulated ocean surface by graphing data from the Radar Run...

Young scholars develop mathematical skills using measurement in the form of weight. They also perform calculations to find cost and strengthen estimation skills while comparing the actual price. The context for the lesson is in the...

Pupils recognize the mathematical connections between fractions and percents. They develop and study graphs to make connections between their data and what it represents. They write about the connections they have discovered.

Fifth graders measure their body height and the height they can jump. They use these measurements in forms of ratios, fractions and decimals to describe their Springy Legs Factors (SLF). Students compare their SLFs to other people's...

Learners review how to solve problems using the Distributive Property of Mathematics. They solve problems using the paper and pencil method and then use the graphing calculator to discover the property over addition while making a visual...

In this adding two- and three-digit numbers worksheet, students, with a partner, problem solve and calculate the answers to eight mathematical word problems and equations.

In this trees worksheet, students show their understanding of measurement by solving 6 fill in the blank problems for distance, girth, and height.

In this subtraction worksheet, students learn how to solve decomposition subtraction problems with 2-digit numbers. They then solve 9 subtraction problems on their own. The answers are on the last page of the packet.

In this pie chart instructional activity, students interpret pie charts, then answer a variety of questions about each. Answers are included on page 2.

In this radon alert:  understanding odds worksheet, 5th graders predict results of rolling dice and record data in a chart, then compare odds of events and occupations, then compare that with radon exposure.

Students investigate elements by by defining scientific terms.  In this Periodic Table of Elements lesson, students utilize a glass of water, and powdered fruit drink to perform a lab activity demonstrating properties of certain...

In this data activity, learners answer multiple choice questions about charts and graphs. Students answer 10 questions total.

Young scholars explore the greenhouse effect.  In this environment lesson, students describe how "ice out" affects animals and plants who live in a Maine lake.  Young scholars graph "ice out" data and make predictions about the...

Students measure the heights of their fellow classmates and create a box and whisker plot to display the data. In this measurement lesson plan, students analyze the data and record results.

Students explore averages by completing a data analysis activity. In this bell curve instructional activity, students measure different food items and plot their measurements on a X and Y axis. Students create bell curves around the...

Young scholars compare foods available for the Pilgrims' Thanksgiving with contemporary Thanksgiving foods. After reading information about the first Thanksgiving, pupils create a menu and compute the cost of a turkey dinner, using...

Pupils construct hot air balloons. In this science lesson, students assemble their own balloon using tissue paper and glue. They time the duration of the flight, record data and calculate team averages.

Fifth graders plan a budget for a camping trip. They use a spreadsheet to organize the budget and word processing justification for their choices.
