Students investigate the concept of area and how it can be applied to a circle. They use the right formula in order to solve different problems. The teacher leads the class through different examples and serves as a resource during...

Going around in circles trying to find a resource on sectors of circles? Here is an activity where pupils first complete an assessment task to determine the areas and perimeters of sectors of circles. They then participate in an...

This resource will blow your mind! Young mathematicians estimate the rate of volcanic lava flow by watching a video. They apply the rate formula to determine how long it would take the lava to reach a city. Let's hope everyone gets out...

Students investigate art elements such as color schemes and proportion by creating their own personal Mandala Circle on paper or canvas. This also allows students to investigate mathematical concepts such as tesselations or social...

Students practice estimating and comparing measurements using yards, feet, and inches. They make comparisons about kites and a variety of measurements. Afterwards, they complete an activity sheet and draw a bird kite with long wings and...

In this measurement worksheet, learners study the sets of pints or quarts for the 7 problems. Students circle the set of measurements that are less.

Fourth graders discuss the function and characteristics of money. In this financial education lesson plan, 4th graders read the book The Go-Around Dollar by Johnston Adams. This book sparks a conversation on how money is used and the...

Tenth graders define the formula for cylinders and use it to solve real world problems. In this geometry lesson, pupils differentiate between area, perimeters, 2D shapes, 3D shapes, and volume of prisms, cylinders and spheres. They...

Students record their daily activities and graph the results using the educational software program called Inspiration. This lesson is intended for the upper-elementary classroom and includes resource links and activity extensions.

Budding artists or mathematicians read about,and then draw, two very different shapes. Geometric and organic 2-D shapes are defined. Learners use the definitions to draw examples of each.

In this comet tail disruption worksheet, students solve 7 problems using two images from NASA's STEREO satellite showing the breakup of the comet's tail. Students analyze the diagram and use the scale to solve the problems about time,...

In this sunspots and magnetic fields instructional activity, students read about the satellite images taken showing 'loopy' patterns from solar gases and the magnetic fields on the sun. Students solve 2 problems including finding the...

Sixth graders examine the causes of the stock market crash of 1929.  In this integrated math/history unit on the stock market, 6th graders study, research, and read stocks, visit a local bank, and create a PowerPoint to show the...

In this algebra worksheet, students rewrite word problems using algebraic symbols and solve for the related rates. There are 10 word problems involving derivatives and rates.

In this nursing math worksheet, students solve 16 problems using metric conversions. They determine quantities of medications given to patients and amount of medications given through simple metric conversions.

In order to review calculus skills, mathematicians read story problems regarding area, change of rate, volume, and distance. They determine rates per minute, per second, and miles per hour from given information. This two-page...

Ninth graders explain how wind can produce electricity. In this geometry lesson, 9th graders construct their own pin wheel turbine and calculate its power. They discuss the pros and cons of using wind generator.

Students participate in a teddy bear themed unit to improve their social and reading skills along with other core knowledge subjects. In this social and reading skills lesson, students complete 8 units of activities to learn about social...

[Free Registration/Login Required] This lesson lets students identify, draw, and measure parts of a circle. The lesson compliments 5th grade Harcourt Math, Lesson 23.4. Activote assessment is included at the end of the lesson.

[Free Registration/Login Required] This flipchart reviews basic geometric forms in nature and real objects. Students are then given opportunities to find the area of circle and parts of a circle, given the radius and/or diameter of the...

[Free Registration/Login Required] Students identify segments and lines related to circles and the properties of a tangent to a circle.

[Free Registration/Login Required] This flipchart is a quick review of line, bar, and circle graphs.

[Free Registration/Login Required] Students explore methods to measure lengths of squares and radius of a circle in trying to keep a goat from escaping.

[Free Registration/Login Required] Students are asked to figure out the size of the shaded portions of a circle graph. They then complete a chart showing the fraction, decimal, and percentage equivalents.
