Build a scale model of a home built out of shipping containers. A hands-on activity has scholars watch a video about a home built from shipping containers and then design their own home. They build scale models of their designed homes...

Learners are given a volume of a rectangular tank and are asked to find the water height. Because the total volume of the tank is given in liters, your geometers will need to use a unit ratio to convert to centimeters cubed. The exercise...

This presentation shows how triangles are classified by angle measurement and length of sides.  It reviews isosceles, scalene, obtuse, right, and acute classifications and includes questions for students to classify some of the...

Sew up your unit on operations with decimals using this assessment task. Young mathematicians use given rules to determine the amount of fabric they need to sew a pair of pants. They must also fill in a partially complete bill for...

In this ratios for area and volume worksheet, students solve problems where they find the ratios for problems of shapes dealing with area and volume. Students complete 4 problems.

In this congruence learning exercise, students trace figures, measure sides and angles, mark congruent sides and angles, then use a given diagram to answer questions and explain reasoning. Students also answer 2 test prep questions....

In this mixed numbers worksheet, students fill in a mixed number chart about the length of nails. Students complete this for 9 different lengths of nails. Students measure each nail.

Building blocks have more uses than simply entertaining children. Young mathematicians calculate the volume of a given cube, and then calculate the volume and surface area of a prism formed from multiple cubes.

This is how long we mow the lawn together. The assessment requires the class to work with combining ratios and proportional reasoning. Pupils determine the unit rate of mowers and calculate the time required to mow a lawn if they work...

In this area and perimeter learning exercise, students follow detailed instructions about measurements, drawing rectangles on a dotted grid, then find the perimeter and area of each rectangle. 

In this metric conversion worksheet, students convert a total of 200 measurements to units indicated. Problems appear 20 per page, 10 pages plus answers. A website reference for additional resources is provided.

For this converting inches to centimeters review worksheet, students practice their math skills as they convert the 22 measurements in inches to measurements in centimeters.

In this volume learning exercise, students solve 6 problems related to volume; students find length, width, height and draw an item according to specification.

For this metric conversion worksheet, students convert a set of 30 measurements. An answer key and reference website for additional resources are given.

Using a twelve foot knotted rope, students form a 3-4-5 right triangle. Following a discussion of observations about the lengths of the sides of the triangle, students use grid paper, scissors and a centimeter ruler to draw and measure...

In this perimeter worksheet, learners are given perimeter and draw 3 different squares or rectangles on given grids, using those given measurements, then complete 2 related questions.

In this math instructional activity, students compute the total distance traveled for a car moving in a straight line at 45 mph for 2 hours. Then they compute the distance for a car moving along a curved path at 45 mph for 2 hours.

Unfortunately for young mathematicians, the world isn't made entirely of parallelograms, triangles, and trapezoids. After first learning the area formulas for these common shapes, students apply this new knowledge to...

Which pulley system will give us a whale of a good time? Teams compare the theoretical and actual mechanical advantages of different pulley systems. They then form a recommendation for how to move a whale from an aquarium back to the ocean.

In this volume of cylinders worksheet, students solve 6 word problems related to the volume of various cylinders; students find volume, find height, solve reasoning problems and measure to given specifications.

Students identify integers as rational and irrational numbers. In this algebra lesson, students measure and construct number lines using positive and negative integers. They convert between decimals and fractions.

In this angles and lines:  calculate what is missing worksheet, 6th graders look at four geometric shapes with some information given about angles and lines and calculate the measurements that are missing.

Let's paint the town equal parts yellow and violet, or simply brown. Pupils calculate the amount of blue and red paint needed to make six quarts of brown paint. Individuals then explain how they determined the percentage of the brown...

Scaling needs to be picture perfect. Pupils use proportional reasoning to find the missing dimension of a photo. Class members determine the sizes of paper needed for two configurations of pictures in the short assessment task.
