Students create bank reconciliation spreadsheet. In this algebra lesson, students discuss the basics about business, money and bank accounts. They use a bank reconciliation statement correctly.

Sometimes a skeleton is all you get. This lesson plan outline provides teachers with a basic lesson plan flow. Pupils will pre-test, order place value names, use manipulatives, and build and compare numbers. How this is to be done is not...

For this estimation worksheet, students complete multiple choice questions about rounding and the proper sequence of estimation. Students complete 10 questions total.

In this numeracy worksheet, students complete 15 sentences that relate to various numbers they should be able to recall or have knowledge about.

In this logarithms worksheet, students evaluate and solve equations with logarithms.  They derive the formula for a derivative of a given function.  Students explain the differences between logarithms.  This one-page...

Students evaluate the impact climates have on the building of structures. They research the different types of materials used to build houses in various climates and build small models of houses which are tested against different climates.

In this ohmmeter learning exercise, learners are given ten questions about circuits and and the resistance in those circuits. They explain how an ohmmeter is used and answer questions about different wire systems and their resistance.

Students discover what forces work together to hold up a suspension bridge. They see various bridges around the world, and learn the basic principles that enable each bridge to support itself. Groups design their own bridge, testing how...

This PowerPoint includes an 8 section spinner used to play Wheel of Fortune with student-generated review questions written on index cards. This game could be used for a variety of content area subjects such as spelling, vocabulary,...

Young mathematicians extend their knowledge of rational numbers on a number line to graph inequalities by first using number cards to compare rational numbers. They finish by using similar reasoning to graph inequalities on a number line.

It takes a strong foundation to build a house and a stronger one for a bridge. This resource presents the effects of geology and soil on bridge foundations. Working in groups, the class investigates the interaction of shallow and deep...

A helpful and versatile worksheet requires young mathematicians to analyze data in order to create graphs and answer questions. Additionally, it prompts learners to find the mean, median, mode, and range of some of the data sets.

Students complete a Sudoku puzzle using their math skills. After listening to the rules of Sudoku and observing a demonstration, students use the process of elimination and other methods to complete puzzles. They explore how the...

Science is exciting - and delicious! Pairs of learners set up a bungee cord type of experiment. They use buckets filled with M & M's, a meter stick, and a Slinky spring (as the bungee) to conduct their experiment. A good activity...

Groups design the ultimate roller coaster by considering potential and kinetic energy. They test their designs using marbles and then go on to rate each group's design based on aesthetics, loop diameter, and cost.

Students investigate the benefits of dance and participate in dances. In this dance lesson, students investigate a number of dances such as square dancing and clogging that are native to Appalachia. They use math concepts to determine...

Clay itself sinks, but clay boats float. Why? Young engineers build clay boats to learn about buoyancy. They test the weight the boats can hold using washers and then tweak their designs to make improvements, following the engineering...

Every time a bell rings ... there is lightning in the area. The activity provides directions to build a model of a lightning detection system. Similar to a system designed by Benjamin Franklin, the system uses static...
