With algebra tiles in hand 7th graders will uncover the wonders of the distributive property of multiplication. They will take a pre-test, define the distributive property, then model and practice using their tiles to solve basic...

In need of an all-inclusive seventh grade math resource? Packed full of the topics necessary for Pre-Algebra the packet includes practice problems with different difficulty levels. It works great for any supplemental use needed...

Upper grade and middle schoolers collect data, analyze and interpret the data. This three-part lesson should provide learners with a firm understanding about the differences between mean, median, and mode and how to perform the...

With this interactive lesson, learners compute the surface area of rectangular prisms. They visit an online investigation applet and record data on the provided handout. Pair this lesson with the volume lesson by the same publisher as an...

Often inequalities exist in many real-world contexts but young math learners struggle with understanding how to represent that relationship in a simple equation using an inequality. This activity focuses on the basic concepts by using...

Students apply their knowledge of math to the real world. In this algebra instructional activity, students explore different way to incorporate math topics into the real world. They create a score or progress sheet to mark their progress.

Students demonstrate some common operations done while using fractions based upon mathematical standards. They are also changing common fractions to decimals with estimation skills and the use of a calculator.

Seventh graders practice using the Order of Operations to simplify algebraic expressions. They start with some basic operations and move into gradual harder problems to bring to the level of mastery.

Seventh graders use educational software in order to practice lesson objectives. They define rate and ratio. Students solve distance problems given two variables. They also use a problem solving strategy that can be defended in its usage.

Learners randomly select dimensions for three geometric shapes (square, right triangle and circle). From the graphs they compare and contrast the graphical results of each shape.

Students examine each level of the food pyramid and how many servings they should consume during the day. They study the important nutrients associated with each category of the food pyramid.

Young scholars discover the need for a universal measurement system. They practice using basic metric units in measuring distance and weight.

Students build and apply concepts of geometry. In this geometry lesson, students create a building using proportions and scale drawings. They use Cabri technology to create a virtual drawing first.

Students construct using Cabri software. In this geometry instructional activity, students convert between units and apply the correct measurements to build objects. They create the room virtually and manipulate the shapes to the desired...

Using M & M's candies, young statisticians predict the color distribution in a packet of candies and test their predictions against their group and the larger class. A review of converting between fractions, decimals, and percents...

Young scholars answer questions about elapsed time in the calendar. In this elapsed time lesson plan, students discuss a schedule that is given to them, and then answer questions about time passing on a March calendar page.

Seventh graders conduct an investigation into the design of bridges and their construction. Students design bridges and draw detailed plans. For assessment they construct a model of a bridge that is made entirely of toothpicks. Students...

Students solve problems involving percents and ratios. In this algebra lesson, students convert decimals to percents and percents to decimals. They solve problems involving algebraic expressions and four different kinds of percent problems.

Students engage in a lesson on how to use an ATM, or Automated Teller Machine. They see how to bank with an ATM and practice banking using several different types of transactions. This lesson includes a teaching worksheet to practice...

Students study what opportunity cost is and why it is important to their lives.

Seventh graders review the process of finding the area of a rectangle and complete a couple of examples as a class. They discuss what a parallelogram is and what the formula would be for finding its area. They listen to an explanation...

Students create a spreadsheet to record information about circular objects. They measure and record information from a variety of objects. Students calculate the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of each object. They find the...
