Slow and steady wins the race? In the assessment task, scholars calculate the rates at which different snails travel in order to find the fastest snail. Hopefully, your class will move much more quickly in finishing the task!

As part of a four-lesson unit on personal finances, class members practice using a checkbook. Exercises include writing checks, filling out deposit and withdrawal slips, and keeping a check register. 

Transition young mathematicians from using repeated addition to multiplication with this fun, hands-on activity. Using manipulatives and the included game board, students work in pairs modeling repeated addition problems before...

Moooove over, there's a better deal over there! The fourth segment in a series of eight requires individuals to determine the best unit cost for milk. Scholars calculate the least amount they can spend on a particular quantity of...

Scale up your lessons with a performance task. Young data analysts work through an assessment task on scaled bar graphs. They answer questions about a given scaled bar graph on favorite colors, analyze a bar graph to see if it matches...

Bringing together the young artists and the young organizers in your class, this lesson takes that popular topic of tessellations and gives it algebraic roots. After covering a few basic properties and definitions, learners attack the...

Your algebra learners explore linear functions concretely using tables of values in a collaborative task. The idea that linear function values change by equal differences over equal intervals, is emphasized. The slope and...

Function notation is like a code waiting to be cracked. Learners take the graph of an unknown equation and manipulate it based on three different transformation changes of the function equation. The final step is to look at three points...

Pupils calculate the equation of a quadratic in vertex form from a specific graph and determine an equation that would fit the description of a parabola. The final question determines the individuals' understanding of the signs of the...

This exercise is an opportunity for algebra learners to understand the connection between the slope of a line and points found on the line. Use similar triangles to explain why slope m is the same between any two points. Discuss with the...

What effect does changing a parameter have on the graph of a trigonometric function? Pupils use a Desmos applet to explore the general sine graph. They experiment changing different parameters and record the resulting change of the...

For this calculus practice exam, students select the best answer to 28 multiple choice questions. Questions cover information from the entire year of calculus. A suggested time limit of 55 minutes is included.

In this A. P. Calculus AB worksheet, students solve seventeen multiple-choice problems with a graphing calculator.  This worksheet is designed as a practice test for the A.P. Exam and should be timed.

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders explain how two triangles can have 5 parts of the other triangle and still not be congruent. This is a word problem with an answer key.

Kindergarteners use worms, puppets or other props to practice counting to 100. First, they listen to a read aloud of Count Worms by Roger Hargeaves. A worm pattern is used to count to 100, with each segment of the worm...

Using food as a manipulative is one of the best ways to incorporate hands-on learning in the classroom. This hands-on approach allows young mathematicians to compare, order, and identify fractions with the use of Twizzlers® and...

Pupils work in pairs to investigate what it takes to prove that two triangles are similar. They work through various shortcuts to find which are enough to show a similarity relationship between the triangles. Small groups work with the...

Parent functions and their combinations create unique graphical designs. Learners explore these relationships with a progressive approach. Beginning with linear equations and inequalities and progressing to more complex functions,...

Second graders observe and design manipulatives showing fractional parts.  In this fractional part instructional activity, 2nd graders create a paper hamburger using circle fractions.  Students navigate a website to find...

Students participate in hands-on activities in which they count and match objects to 10 or more using one-to-one correspondence and make a record of objects counted, which be kept in a math portfolio.

Students practice counting and comparing objects.  In this math lesson, students view a Count on It! episode. Students examine the value of what they are counting.  Students estimate number in groups of items.  Students...

In this z-score worksheet, students identify the z-scores and percentiles corresponding to thirteen values.  Students are also asked to find two probabilities.  Worked solutions are provided after each question.
