Students explore geometry by participating in a school measuring activity. In this perimeter activity, students discuss the techniques and methods used in order to measure a large perimeter or geometric figure. Students utilize grid...

Students performing a scene about pirates and spend time making a measuring meters incorporating the main character, Captain Blood to add interest. They use meter sticks measuring items from the play and record their answers in meters.

Students participate in five center activities in which they construct three dimensional objects using cubic centimeter manipulatives such as sugar cubes and toothpaste boxes. They determine the volume of the objects. They build a model...

Students explore competition by participating in a peg race. In this pattern creation instructional activity, students utilize an egg timer and pegs or colored cubes to create patterns quickly while competing with fellow classmates to...

Students study units of measure like cups, pints, quarts and gallons. They work in groups to create their own mixtures of trail mix using the measuring cups. Then they make a gorilla puzzle using a gallon bottle.

Second graders measure surface area and perimeter using estimation. They complete a variety of measurement activities using Cheerios breakfast cereal.

Eighth graders investigate the concepts of probability while performing data analysis. They apply statistical methods in order to measure or predict some possible outcomes. The information is collected and graphed, 8th graders analyze...

In this maximum and minimum points worksheet, students solve and complete 12 various types of problems. First, they find the area of the smallest triangle given the point of intersection. Then, students find the volume of a box that has...

Fifth graders explore polygons in various shape activities. In this polygons lesson, 5th graders discuss and identify polygons by their number of sides. Students sort ceramic tiles by the number of sides on each piece. Students explore...

For this surface area worksheet, students find the surface are of cubes and rectangular prisms.  This one-page worksheet contains 3 problems.

In this lengths, areas and shapes worksheet, students explore overlapping and non-overlapping patterns. They identify the number of objects in a pattern, determine how the pattern may be folded to create additional patterns, and...

In this finding volume practice worksheet, learners sharpen their problem solving skills as they solve six story problems.

For this volume and surface area worksheet, students find the volume and surface area of different solid figures. Students complete 8 problems.

Fifth graders are introduced to the topic of means. Calculating the mean, mode and median, they describe what each set of numbers tell and do not tell about the data. They use a line graph to practice finding the mean. They also use...

Seventh graders investigate the mathematical concept of a sector. They apply the concept to an example problem and then move into a more complex application. They find the area of the side of a cone. This is done as students calculate...

High schoolers explore the formulas for volume of three-dimensional objects. They participate in various activities involving ice cream, ice cream cones, small candies, and gum balls, recording their calculations on a lab sheet.

Investigate equivalent fractions with your class. They compare and order fractions. Then they work cooperatively in groups to experiment and problem solve with fractions using a game format. Multiple resources are provided.

Young learners compare the relative values of fractions by making physical representations. They fold and label strips of paper that are equal in length to represent "one whole" and the equal parts that fractions represent. Also, they...

Learners use materials to build, investigate, and draw two-dimensional shapes (polygons). They combine the shapes they have built and draw from the pile to begin a round-robin activity to name and determine the attributes of a selection...

Shapes are so fun! Little ones explore, identify, and create shapes using tangrams or pattern blocks. The activity is intended to stimulate critical thinking while engaging learners through play and shape identification. Each child will...

Scholars create and perform experiments attempting to answer Buffon's Coin problem. They discover the relationships between geometry and probability, empirical and theoretical probabilities, and area of a circle and square.

Help learners find joy in facing mathematical challenges. The questions posed on this instructional activity encourage young mathematicians to utilize skills learned throughout a geometry unit, and to apply themselves and persevere...

Students design their own Science experiment. In this science experiment lesson students create a hypothesis related to matter and test it. They displayed their data in a graph.

Pupils use chips to represent units to show examples and non examples of fractions. In this fraction lesson plan, students show what chips can be used for different fraction scenarios.
