Fifth graders practice solving problems.  In this fraction and decimal lesson, 5th graders recognize the relationship between fraction and decimals.  Students estimate problem results and write expressions to use for problem...

Third graders explore the concept of linear measurements and how they work. Coins are used to reinforce the process.

In this mathematics worksheet, 3rd graders write the numbers for each problem. Then they write each in expanded form and the numbers from least to greatest. Students also estimate first by rounding the numbers to the nearest hundred.

In this mathematics worksheet, 3rd graders draw lines for each measurement. Then they measure the lines to the nearest centimeter. Students also use a ruler, a measuring tape, and measure small items and longer items.

In this mathematics worksheet, 6th graders find the percents of various numbers. They set up the problem, estimate, and write their response. Students also compare their answers to their estimates for each problem.

In this writing math problems worksheet, 3rd graders write four math problems involving three toy store scenarios stated on the worksheet. Students determine if they are an estimate or an exact solution to the problems.

Students each receive a plastic egg filled with jelly beans. In this Jelly Bean Egg Challenge, students estimate and weight their eggs, they count the number of jelly beans inside their egg, they chart their data and compare their data...

Young scholars explore the concept of equivalence as it relates to comparing concrete objects to determine greater or lesser attributes such as length and weight. In this pan balance-shapes lesson, students make estimations while...

Sometimes a skeleton is all you get. This lesson plan outline provides teachers with a basic lesson plan flow. Pupils will pre-test, order place value names, use manipulatives, and build and compare numbers. How this is to be done is not...

For this function worksheet, students use functions to identify an electron traveling along a path. They examine the velocity vector and compute the directional derivative. This two-page worksheet contains six multi-step problems.

Students estimate the time it takes for an ice cube to melt completely.

Fifth graders estimate perimeter, area, and volume. They measure perimeter and area using nonstandard units of measurement. Students add and subtract non-standard units of measurement. They add mixed numbers and simplify the sum.

First graders use appropriate vocabulary to compare the measurement of the animal he/she is drawing.

Students estimate large quantities. They first practice estimating beans in a tub. They solve a large scale problem using one method of estimating they learned while watching the video, "Eddie Files".

Fifth graders develop strategies for estimating ages, and illustrate results by graphing and interpreting scatter plots to compare x and y coordinates.

Students participate in an estimation and measurement activity to improve their estimates of the size of hail. They hold several different sized wooden balls and record their guesses of the ball's diameters. They compare their estimates.

In this estimating percentages worksheet, students read a problem that gives the percentage of a dollar amount, for example; 8.6% of $75.09 = $5.46. They estimate to determine if they believe the problem is "definitely wrong" or...

In this estimation worksheet, students estimate the number and length of french fries they have. There are 5 problems in a chart.

Students, in groups, examine a jar of coins to make both 'guesstimates' and estimates. They compare different estimations and complete a journal entry to summarize their findings.

Students need to be able to calculate the volume and surface area of a cuboid as well as present a systematic list of results in order to justify the minimum case. The use of three factors of 100 is also important.

High schoolers 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.

Fourth graders estimate the average traveling distance to a city of choice with the help of an internet site. They determine the amount of time it will take to travel there at a speed of 65 miles per hour. Students set up a proportion to...

Students explore fractions. In this fraction lesson, students estimate fractions and estimate sums of fractions. Students work with technology to develop math fluency.

For this multiplication worksheet, 4th graders complete a quick math sheet where they first solve a problem on how many walked. Then, they identify and solve how they would find a paired number set in a table. Finally, students identify...
