Scholars compete in a canoe race that challenges them to multiply two-digit numbers. The faster they solve equations, the faster their canoe makes it to the end. 

A quick learning game challenges players to solve one-step addition and subtraction algebraic equations. Scholars play against several others, racing around the track in their four-wheeler, to see who can solve for a variable as fast...

One step at a time, pupils practice their measurement techniques as they analyze their stride length. They design their own procedures for measuring and relate their stride measurements to the distance traveled by making calculations.

Variables may be unknown, but expressions and equations are easy to understand. Pupils learn to write, evaluate, and simplify numeric and algebraic expressions. They also investigate how to write and solve simple equations and...

Shape one's understanding of geometry using the resource. The sixth of seven chapters in 6th Grade Math focuses on geometry principles. Future mathematicians learn to find the area of parallelograms, trapezoids, triangles, and other...

Find the value in analyzing data values. Statistics is the focus of the fifth of seven installments of the 6th Grade Math series. Individuals learn to examine dot plots, histograms, and box plots by considering the shape, mean, median,...

Don't feel negative about negative numbers. Individuals extend their knowledge of positive numbers and fractions to rational numbers. They learn how to represent negative rational numbers on a number line, understand opposites and...

The resource will be 100 percent beneficial. The third of seven installments in 6th Grade Math starts with lessons on percent and percent problems. Pupils also learn how to divide fractions and apply ratio reasoning to convert units,...

At this rate, the class will be experts on ratios and rates in no time. A class workbook teaches individuals about ratio language, using tables and tape diagrams to find equivalent ratios, and solving ratio problems. They then learn how...

Become fluent in the language of mathematics. Scholars learn to divide multi-digit whole numbers and determine the most significant common factor and the least common multiple. They also investigate how to apply the distributive property...

Get the class's gears turning! Pupils first watch a video that introduces the situation: Given three gears, how many turns will it take for the dots shown on the gears to line up? They count the number of spurs on each gear, then use the...

Give a round of applause for completing the task. Scholars watch a video that shows an extremely fast clapper and a timer. The activity requires applying concepts of rates and proportional reasoning to estimate the number of claps in one...

Jump at the chance to use the idea of rates. Young mathematicians watch part of a clip of a Japanese TV show where a contestant jumps rope as fast as possible. They use the data for the number of jumps and the number of seconds shown in...

Mathematics is stronger than a card house. Pupils watch a video of the beginning of the building of a triangular card house. Scholars come up with questions they wonder about from the video and ask for more information to arrive at an...

Create a snacking recipe. Pupils develop a question after watching a video of the making of a snack. Learners come to an estimation of an answer to their question. The teacher provides additional information about the recipe as needed...

Build a pyramid based on sums. Individuals watch a video of a computer program that creates a pyramid of numbers based upon a starting number. The scholars develop a hypothesis on how the number trick works and share their thoughts on...

Determine equivalent methods to find sums of consecutive numbers. Learners watch a video of a computer program that finds the sum of five consecutive numbers given a starting number. Pupils hypothesize how to determine the sum without...

Trick out mathematical expressions. Scholars participate in a computerized magic trick where the computer guesses the final answer to a series of operations. Pupils investigate the trick to determine what is happening. Individuals then...

Correct a misleading conclusion. Individuals review a set of data and a conclusion to determine what is wrong with the conclusion. Pupils then represent the data with an appropriate display. Finally, learners develop a correct conclusion...

Determine the cheapest way to the airport. Pupils read a scenario about trying to get 75 people to the airport using two different sizes of taxis. Learners calculate the number of smaller taxis needed given a number of large taxis and...

Lay it out using the least amount of material. Learners use the dimensions of a cylindrical sports bag to find out the size of pieces of material needed to sew them. The pupils find the best placement of the pieces to use the least...

Create a winning card. Given a description of a bingo game using two spinners, pupils determine which of three cards has the greatest chance of winning. Scholars then determine which are the best numbers to put on their own cards to give...

Take an overall view of percentages. Pupils determine whether a shop owner's claim is correct about what percent of his shop is viewable from the installed security camera. Learners try to find whether there is a better location for the...
