In this basic math skills worksheet, students use division, decimals and multiplication to calculate the speed of sound in water and compare it to the speed in air. They calculate distances sound travels in water and the time it takes...

In this rotation of celestial bodies instructional activity, students determine the speed of the sun's rotation and they determine the number of days it takes the sun to rotate once at the equator. They identify the geometric factor that...

Eighth graders build and run mousetrap cars in order to measure distance, time, and mass for their cars. They use these measurements to calculate average speed and kinetic energy, then create a slide show to visually explain how the car...

In this variables and expressions learning exercise, high schoolers solve 7 problems using different mathematical formulae to find the length of Earth's day in the future, the distance to the galaxy Andromeda, the temperature of a gas...

In this algebra worksheet, students are given a word problem and asked to use algebra to solve it. They have to calculate the speed of a train and a car if they are both moving at a constant rate. There is an answer key.

Students design a roller coaster that allows a marble to run the course as fast as possible. Students create an experimental roller coaster taking into account the steepness of the hills and the sharpness of the turns. Students use a...

Fifth graders throw darts, collecting data for distance traveled. In this data analysis lesson, 5th graders throw a dart using an atlatl. They calculate the speed for each throw and determine the best dart length for distance throws.

Sixth graders experiment with an atlatl and dart.  In this sixth grade data management mathematics instructional activity, 6th graders explore and determine the most suitable methods of displaying data collected from their...

In this circular motion worksheet, students calculate the speed of circular motion as presented in each word problem. Students find the normal force as well as the frictionless force as it affect the circular motion of the object...

Fifth and sixth graders engage in a series of activities which show them the importance of using different types of measurement strategies. One of the primary goals of the instructional activity is to show learners that measurement is...

Eighth graders explore calculating speed and velocity with Straw Rockets.

Young scholars discuss sound and how it's measured, and through experimentation and implementation of the scientific method, they determine the speed of sound.

Students graph the slopes of a line using the intercepts. In this precalculus lesson, students identify the properties of a curve slope. They find the limit and use a graping calculator to graph their lines.

Learners calculate the surface area of different prisms. In this geometry lesson plan, students identify the shapes of solids based on the properties of that solid. They calculate the surface area using nets and properties of prisms.

In this accuracy of calculations worksheet, students solve and complete 4 different types of problems. First, they estimate the solution of the calculations shown. Then, students find the maximum and minimum possible values for each...

Here is a worksheet on which math classes practice calculating the percentage of different numbers. Some of the percentages involve decimals, so this would not be an assignment for first-time percent calculators! You can print the...

Young scholars identify the properties of a sphere. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the surface area of spheres using the formula derived by nets. They identify the radius and diameter of the sphere.

Young scholars identify the properties of a circle. For this geometry lesson, students relate properties of diameter to sections of a pizza. They calculate the measure of an arc and missing angles.

Students investigate the concept of straight line motion. They determine the pattern and graph it looking for the motion maintained at a constant speed. Students also write a description of the significance of the line. The skill of...

In this matter worksheet, students review the states of matter and the gas law formulas and equations. Students then complete 7 multiple choice questions and 6 problems.
