Students study the fractional values of Cuisenaire rods while working with favorite family recipes.

In this geometry worksheet, 6th graders solve 6 word problems in which they find the circumference of items that are circles. They find the circumference of items such as a basketball hoop, a cereal bowl, and a circular frame.

Second graders create a thermometer.  In this Celsius or Fahrenheit lesson, 2nd graders create an individual thermometer to use for measuring the temperature.  Students convert the outside temperature. 

Student explore estimation and measurement. In this measurement lesson, 2nd graders measure french fries, graph their data, and determine the size of french fries that is the best value. Students practice how to add prices and calculate ...

In this geometry learning exercise, 10th graders determine the probability of an event occurring based on the geometric sketch.  The one page learning exercise contains sixteen problems.  Answers are included. 

Third graders explore tessellations and the spatial concepts used in creating them.  In this tessellations lesson, 3rd graders rotate, reflect and transform shapes to create tessellations.  Students become familiar with the...

Learners explore the concept of area.  In this area worksheet, students find the area of trapezoids given a drawing and given equations of lines.  Learners answer 9 multiple choice problems.

Students solve the area for parallelograms,squares, rectangles, trapezoids, and triangles. In this geometry lesson, students compare and contrast two dimensional shapes and apply their properties to solving real life scenarios. This is a...

Young scholars study West Virginia quilts. In this mathematics lesson, students use symmetry, geometric shapes, and patterns to create their own quilt square.

Students make origami frogs to race. After the race they measure the distance raced, collect the data, enter it into a chart. They then find the mean, median, and mode of the data. Next, students enter this data into Excel at which time...

Second graders distinguish between and use nonstandard and standard units of measurement, use appropriate tools and techniques to measure length and width, and record and interpret data using graphs.

Third graders pracdtice telling time with a demonstration clock.

Learners explore math functions by solving word problems in class. In this multiplication lesson, students utilize colored cubes and base blocks to visualize multiplication problems. Learners identify the multiplication values within...

Fourth graders propose possible sites for the heart of Florida state capital by mapping collected data onto a Florida state map and recording data in a Travel Log.

Young scholars determine where to buy the heaviest earthworms as they study invertebrates. They create a double bar graph of the results of the weight data.

Students calculate measurements using different units and fractions. In this algebra lesson, students measure the path that a robot drives. They use a piece of sting to do their measurement and calculate the circumference of the robot's...

In this adding decimals worksheet, students solve 10 problems in which decimal numbers to the hundredth place are added. Some problems will need to be rewritten vertically.

In this subtracting decimals instructional activity, students solve 10 problems in which decimal numbers to the hundredths place are subtracted, sometimes with regrouping. The problems are already properly written with decimal points...

In this square roots worksheet, students calculate the square roots of whole numbers and rational numbers. Seven problems have multiple choice answers. The remaining 13 problems are short answer. One problem involves graphing a function....
