Young mathematicians build an understanding of area and perimeter with their own two hands in a series of interactive geometry lessons. Through the use of different math manipulatives, children investigate the properties of...

Many university professors complain incoming scholars struggle with interpreting graphs. A skill builder offers three different types of exercises including calculating slope, interpreting graphs, and extrapolating outside the plotted...

A Cyberchase video introduces the distance = rate x time equation. Participants then calculate answers to proposed problems and graph a series of results that is then incorporated into a game to help cement the concept. A thorough and...

Students use a calculator to solve math problems. In this calculator usage instructional activity, students get into pairs and familiarize themselves with the keys. Students are then given problems to solve using the calculator. Students...

Parallel circuits often provide less of a challenge for teens than parallel parking. An installment of a series on parallel electric circuits requires learners to solve increasingly difficult  levels of calculations. Each level...

Scholars decide which job to take based on the pay. They then research cars to potentially purchase and determine the total cost of the car. Finally, they calculate how long they would have to work to purchase the car along with how much...

Youngsters participate in three activities using the hundreds chart. They will choose numbers to add up to one hundred. Whoever gets the most combinations wins. Two variations of the game are supplied.

Calculators aren't all that useful if they don't return the correct results. In this JavaScript programming exercise, beginning JavaScript coders are guided to fix the results returned by the functions so they return correct values....

This resource is the last of a four-part series that practices calculating percents based on data represetned in tables. This page has four multiple choice problems that analyze the data tables to answer a question. 

This instructional activity belongs to a four-part resource that gathers information from data tables to calculate percentages. The page introduces one problem and shares an explanation to the answer.

Few topics engage young mathematicians as much as learning about money. Through a series of shared readings and hands-on activities, children explore the US currency system, learning how to count money and calculate change as they create...

How many steps does one take to walk a mile? The number of steps one walks in a mile would definitely depend on the length of his stride. Shorter people may take shorter strides, and taller people may take longer strides. This activity...

Better than some television series, parallel series circuits provide practice for calculations. Scholars work through a series of problems, each progressively more difficult. They apply knowledge of voltage calculations, resistors, and...

Buying groceries and using money is a must-have skill. Listed here are the steps and procedures needed to train a special needs individual to purchase items at the grocery store. They will use pretend money, a calculator, and images of...

Learners of all ages investigate area and perimeter through pentominoes. In this geometry instructional activity, students calculate the are and perimeter of different geometric shapes and describe the properties of similar and congruent...

Pupils review the value of coins prior to adding up values to equal one dollar. Letters of the alphabet are assigned monetary values and students use calculators to add up the value of a word. Pupils work with a partner to try and create...

Middle schoolers use calculations to complete the same journey of Lewis and Clark. They answer questions along their way and share information they gather with the class. They compare their calculations with those made by Lewis and Clark.
