Mathematicians solve six multiple-choice and true or false questions using their knowledge of estimation and multiplying decimals. The interactive provides a garden-themed tool that creates a visual aid of three watering cans to assist...

Quickly get to the decimal point. The last assessment in a nine-part series requires scholars to work with decimals. Pupils compare the race times of several athletes and calculate how much they have improved over time. During the second...

Learners explore linear measurement. They choose appropriate measuring tools, measure three classroom items, and record their results.  A class discussion ensues in which everyone decides the best way to present their data.

Do you know how old you are in seconds, minutes, days, weeks, or months? This intriguing question is presented as a way for learners to estimate in units of time. They'll build a better sense of what each increment of time is as they...

Young scholars estimate, solve, and check a series of addition and subtraction number and word problems. They write their estimates on a recording sheet, compute and write the answer in the next column, and check their answer with a...

Students calculate actual building measurements from a village map using concepts of ratios and scale in this ten instructional activity mini-unit. They practice measuring angles, multiplying decimals, estimating height and length, and...

In this solving equations worksheet, 9th graders solve 24 different problems. First, they find the zeros of each function. Then, students solve each equation by factoring. They also solve each equation by completing the square and...

Collaborative learners will see the geometric addition of functions by graphing the sum of two graphed curves on the same coordinate plane. This task then naturally flows into giving learners the algebraic representation of the curves...

Whales are all big, but some are larger than others! Kids will love sorting the 10 whale species by size at their desk (whale cut-outs provided). Next, use a whale rope to visualize how long each of these whales actually is. A large...

In this circles and cylinders worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 22 various types of problems. First, they collect data for a radius and circumference for several different circles and calculate the quantity. Then, students find...

Students explore measurement and estimation with non-standard units. In this measurement lesson plan, students discuss items that could be used to measure; they use tooth picks to measure specific items around the classroom, both...

In this calculus worksheet, 12th graders use integration to find the area under a graph. They use integration to solve real world problems. There are 4 different sections with their own problems.

Simulate a random sampling of data by tearing 20 sheets of paper into slips and place a number on 10 and a letter on 10. They place the slips in two separate containers and randomly draw a number and a letter. They record their...

Fourth graders use math in a living room redecoration lesson. In this geometry lesson, 4th graders get the dimensions of a living room and need to find the amount and cost of paint and flooring. They read different scenarios and decide...

Use pumpkins of various sizes to experiment with weight and perimeter. First the class lifts the pumpkins one by one, estimating each pumpkin's weight. They arrange the pumpkins from lightest to heaviest, and then string weigh each one...

In this multiplication worksheet, 4th graders multiply 8 multiplication math problems by different multiples of 10. Students answer 3 word problems on the lines provided.

In this energy usage worksheet, students use a chart comparing the average monthly kilowatt-hour use of different household appliances to complete 4 short answer questions.

Students investigate the importance of significant figures through measuring and estimating. For this estimation and significant figures lesson plan, students measure pieces of paper and round their figures to the nearest marking on the...

Young scholars learn how to count animal populations by the Mark and Recapture method. For this counting animal populations lesson plan, students begin by predicting amounts of different candies in a jar. Young scholars then simulate...

Students participate in an experiment to understand how robotic systems can estimate distances.  In this robotic ranger activity, students measure the the time it takes for and object to move back and forth.  Students will use...

Young scholars measure angles, perimeter, area and volume. In this geometry lesson, students define different ways to measure and solve for the perimeter, area and volume of geometric shapes. They analyze and process information to help...

An exercise in finding the approximate time that a name would be called at a graduation. Estimating time may be difficult for some of the class, so this resource would not be a good choice for learning this standard. It does end with a...

Students calculate the volume of scale model dinosaurs using a water displacement method. They use formulas to calculate the live mass each of the species of dinosaur. Then they complete and discuss a series of questions.

Learners estimate the live mass of dinosaurs. Using dinosaur and modern animal models, students use simple displacement methods to calculate the volume of the models. They calculate the masses of each model. Learners compare the...
