High schoolers are introduced to the concepts of translation, reflection, and rotation. They practice translating, reflecting, and rotating two-dimensional objects on the coordinate plane. students use computers to learn about the three...

Students explore the concept of estimating and organizing a group of objects into an array to count the exact number of items. They create their own arrays and practice elements of estimation.

Students measure the perimeter and area of their polygons. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the volume and area using the correct tools. They calculate the time and temperature and the perimeter and side lengths of triangles.

For this geometry worksheet, 10th graders examine the effect of changing the dimensions of a figure proportionally on the perimeter, circumference, and area.  The one page worksheet contains six problems.  Answers are...

In this geometry worksheet students explore similar polygons and determine measure of missing sides and angles. Students use indirect measurement with similar triangles and determine the area and volume of similar figures. The seven...

Young scholars determine length, width, perimeter, and surface area, and work with two-dimensional representations of three-dimension objects to design and write descriptions of their dream bedrooms.

Students perform transformations and translations using polygons. In this geometry lesson, students perform transformations on a coordinate plane. They identify the image and pre-image of each figure.

Students learn the difference between perimeter and area by watching a video and a hands on activity.

Students explore tessellations. In this shapes and geometry lesson, students describe the attributes of many of the shapes displayed on an Elmo. Students create examples of tessellations using pattern blocks.

Middle schoolers redesign their school to make it more energy efficient, and create a model of their design. Learners get together in groups of 5, and they take on the task of making their school more energy efficient. To do this, they...

An outstanding instructional activity on triangles awaits your math scholars. Learners focus on the triangle, which is the strongest of all polygons. They see the role that triangles play in the design of buildings, and learn about...

For this math worksheet, students find the answers to find the perimeters of the trapezoids by using addition for all the sides.

For this derivatives worksheet, students sketch the graph of a function by determining the local maxima, minima and inflection points. They graph a second function when given the interval. Students solve two word problems involving...

Students construct the formula for the area of a rectangle.

Sixth graders discover what circumference is.  In this measurement lesson, 6th graders identify the radius and diameter of different circles. Students discover how to find the area of a circle using the radius and diameter.

Students study units of measure like cups, pints, quarts and gallons. They work in groups to create their own mixtures of trail mix using the measuring cups. Then they make a gorilla puzzle using a gallon bottle.

In this math worksheet, students investigate inequalities using problems like: If x and y are randomly determined so that 1 < x < 3 and 4 < y < 7, then what is the probability that | x – y |< 4?

Third graders listen to Susan Hightower's, "Twelve Snails to One Lizard" and discuss the need for standard units of measurement. They make a body model on butcher paper which they use to measure their body parts and complete a worksheet....

In this algebra worksheet, 11th graders solve 14 systems of equations using substitution or elimination and 14 word problems.

Students are given the task of designing an apartment. In groups, they practice estimating the area and perimeter of different shapes. After designing their space, they apply the same formulas to solving real-world story problems.

Young scholars examine perimeter and volume in a usable situation and see connections between concepts and "Real-World" situations. They design such a proposal to meet the area requirements, improve the looks of the school entrance and...

The objective of this activity is to find the percent of the area of a two squares overlapping. Mathematicians find the ratio of area for the part that overlaps to the rectangle formed. The final answer is a percent as a rate per 100....

Loaded with concepts ranging from multiplying decimals to converting units to solving problems using the order of operations, a thorough practice packet is perfect for a fifth or sixth grade math classroom.
