Young analysts use real (provided) data from a class's test scores to practice using statistical tools. Not only do learners calculate measures of center and spread (including mean, median, deviation, and IQ range), but...

Find the cards that get to zero. The activity introduces the class to the idea of adding integers. Pupils use a number line to count up and count down when adding. They play a game to collect cards that will sum to zero.

First graders learn the basic needs of plants and identify geometric shapes while planting a fall garden. Combining math and science in one lesson, the resource guides kids through starting their class garden as they...

Combines mathematical measurement with gardening skills. Third graders hunt for worms in the garden and try to find the longest one. They also measure and weigh vegetables that they harvest from the garden, measure rainfall amounts,...

Maintain a positive atmosphere in your math class with this fun instructional activity on adding and subtracting integers. After first explaining the rules for combining positive and negative numbers, this resource uses a...

Student statisticians calculate ratios to determine how many shades of green were mixed by Ms. Baca's art class. They graph the number of blue parts against the number of yellow parts for each combination and discover that some produce...

Investigate the process of combining like terms using an interactive animation. Scholars tackle simplifying expressions by manipulating rectangles that represent the terms. They add and subtract terms to arrive at the result.

Ensure your classes aren't drowning in expressions. An interactive simulation has scholars change the depth of a fish based on the coefficient of terms. As they add the terms together, the fish bobs up and down until reaching the answer.

The second day of a two-part instructional activity on motion introduces the class to circular motion. Pupils learn how to incorporate a time parameter into the rotational matrix transformations they already know. The 24th installment in...

Eliminate a color by dragging shapes. The interactive provides a graphical color display that allows for pupils to solve a linear system by elimination. Learners combine figures following set rules for positive and negative shapes. The...

The humble soda can gets the geometric treatment in an activity that links math and science calculations. After a few basic assumptions are made and discussed, surface area calculations combine with density information to develop an...

Gather money with porpoise. Individuals click on a combination of coins and bills to match the displayed amount of money. Each collection feeds a dolphin, and the player that gathers the most correct amounts wins the online game.

Science, technology, and math come together in this one combination exercise. Analyzing the common soda can from both a purely mathematical perspective and a scientific angle allows for a surprisingly sophisticated comparison of...

Introduce your class to the order of operations. Included here is a reading passage that explains the concepts and provides an example and five related questions for individuals to answer.

How did the metric system come to be, and why does the US not use it very much? Your class can learn the answers to these questions with the reading passage included here and then respond to the five related questions.

This is great go-to activity for those spring or fall days when the weather beckons your geometry class outside. Learners start with a small tree, devising strategies to accurately estimate the leaf count. They must then tackle the...

Emerging statisticians develop the ability to make inferences from sample data while also working on proportional relationships in general. Here, young learners examine samples for bias, and then use random samples to make...

Friend or stranger? Can there be less than three in a group? The interactive asks learners to prove that for seven people at a party, at least three of them are either mutual friends or mutual strangers. Pupils determine the number of...

Seventh grade statisticians randomly select five states and then determine the mean area. The class then works together to create a dot plot of their results. 

Kindergartners identify geometric shapes by planting a fall garden. They start their seeds in containers that have different shapes, and keep track of their plants based on those shapes. This brilliantly designed and incredibly thorough...

More than a worksheet, learners go through geometry topics example by example on the nicely organized handout. From postulates to classifying angles, there are rules and examples provided for each topic. The ten pages of problems...

In this probability instructional activity, students analyze word problems, determine whether the situation is a combination or a permutation, and solve. There are 5 multiple choice questions. 

Is it possible to use the distributive property with several terms? Learners multiply a polynomial by a binomial using the same method as with a monomial. The scholars distribute each term of the binomial to each term in the polynomial...

Alphabet soup just got an upgrade. Pupils drag expressions from algebraic soup to indicate whether it is a like term to x or to y. Some challenge questions require combining the like terms to simplify expressions.
