Seventh graders explore the concept of percents, ratios, and proportions. In this percents, ratios, and proportion activity, 7th graders have 237 ounces of beads to weigh. Students work in groups to weigh the beads in a way so that...

Students explore ratios and proportions. In this ratios lesson, students work in groups to identify the ratio of boys to girls, as well as the ratio of vowels to consonants in their names. Given a bag of candy, students work in groups to...

Learners engage in a lesson that has them practice solving equations using multiplication and division. They practice solving problems using the properties needed and then students practice changing word problems into an equation.

In this algebra worksheet, students solve linear equations for the given variable. They use combining like terms to simplify equations. Students use opposite operations to isolate the variable.

Students find the constant of proportionality and apply it to a situation. They use the electrical resistance in a wire as a context for finding the constant of proportionality. In addition, they write an explanation and justification of...

Just how scarce is water in different parts of the world? Through these water lessons, young data analysts use provided data to investigate the scarcity of water in countries of the Middle East and Africa. They use ratios and rates to...

Scholars build upon their knowledge of scale drawings by using percents to represent the scale factor. Individuals work with scaling in vertical, horizontal, and both directions.

Amaze your classes with the ability to find side lengths of triangles immediately — they'll all want to know your trick! Learners use the Pythagorean Theorem and special right triangle relationships to find missing side lengths.

Finding a percentage of a number is a skill learners must know in order to be successful thinkers. The resource introduces this concept with a guided explanation and can be used with the additional materials as a...

Learners solve problems using ratios and proportions. In this algebra lesson, students verify proportions, solve for the unknown and use real life scenario to model proportion.

Math apprentices are introduced to the components of a linear relationship. In groups, they write story problems that incorporate this relationship and relates to the real world. They give their problem to the class for them to solve.

High schoolers analyze characteristics and properties of two and three-dimensional shapes in this geometry lesson. They follow detailed directions to use the Cabri Geometry II Application on their TI-89 calculator to construct a...

Geometry is full of shapes, figures, and corresponding things here and there. The guide shares all of the key pieces of geometric information in a nicely color-coded and labeled sheet. 

In this math worksheet, young scholars read informational paragraphs and then answer 18 questions using data from their readings. Questions are about vectors, positions, distance and orbits.

Juice up your lessons with an open-ended resource. Scholars must determine how many oranges it takes to fill a container with juice. They use information presented in a video and as images to find the solution. 

Warm-up pupils' fraction muscles with a four-question quiz, then delve into a learning game designed to reinforce the concept of simplifying fractions. Based on the "I do, We do, You do" method of teaching, the lesson directly...
