Find out how many of your learners take the bus, how many walk, and how many bike with a quick survey. Class members gather data about how each individual gets to school and mark the results on this page in order to create a bar graph.

Biking may be an outlier. Using data from 10 states on the number of people reporting they bike to work, pupils calculate the measures of center. Scholars determine the range and interquartile range and find which provides a better...

A single problem requires learners to write two expressions representing the total distance between a student's home and school over a time span of four weeks. A thorough commentary follows that will help you explore the solutions with...

In this back to school instructional activity, students play a matching game with pictures of an apple, bike, and bus. Students match 3 sets of pictures.

As a middle school assessment task, learners interpret the graph of distance versus time for a bike ride. Pupils then determine distance of the trip, length of the trip, and speeds.

Real-life mathematics is not as simple as repeating a set of steps; pupils must mentally go through a process to come to their conclusions. Teach learners to read, analyze, and create a plan for solving a problem situation. The...

For kids, taking a vacation is all fun and games, but after completing this pre-algebra project, they'll have a whole new appreciation for the planning that makes these trips possible. Given a budget of $5,000 to spend on purchasing the...

A graph not only tells us who won the bike race, but also what happened during the race. Use this resource to help learners understand graphs. The commentary suggests waiting until the end of the year to introduce this topic, but why...

Fresh off the press, these math newsletters will challenge the problem solving skills of your young mathematicians. With an incredibly wide variety of questions covering the topics of arithmetic and geometry, these unique...

Connect proportional linear equations and systems. The seven-question assessment is the last installment in a 33-part series. The items cover comparing proportional relationships, slope concepts, and simultaneous linear...

Define, explore, compare, and analyze functions with the fourth chapter of a 10-part eighth-grade workbook series. After encountering the definition of a function, pupils begin to explore linear and nonlinear functions. They then...

Students examine how riding a bike can impact the environment and cut down on carbon emissions.  In this environmental lesson students design a bike rack that is made from recycled material.

Use number lines to help scholars add and subtract time as they solve five word problems. Each scenario gives a starting or ending time and several tasks that take specified amounts of time. Scholars mark the number line to determine...

First graders draw pictures of how they came to school.

Students investigate transit by analyzing their school surroundings. For this local geography lesson, students identify their school in relation to the rest of their state, country and globe. Students discuss their personal travel habits...

Draw a graph that shows the qualitative features of a function that has been described verbally. Make sure learners understand where time is zero and the distance is zero. It may take them some time to understand this concept, so working...

Students examine the use of variable and ratio in everyday situations including figuring out the gear ratios for the gears on a 12 speed bike. They use the bubble sort technique to write a computer program which will determine the...

In this venn diagram worksheet, students answer five questions about ways children get to school. The venn diagram has three overlapping circles and lists three ways students may get to school (walk, bike and car).

Learners model a real-life scenario by writing a two-step algebra equation and solving it, as they complete this worksheet. Ten practice word problems on one piece of paper are nicely prepared just for your young algebra learners.
