The class braids irrational numbers, Pythagoras, and perimeter together. The mini-assessment requires scholars to use irrational numbers and the Pythagorean Theorem to find perimeters of rugs. The rugs are rectangular, triangular,...

Sometimes the indirect path is best. Scholars determine whether the sum of a rational number and an irrational number is irrational. Reading a transcript of a conversation between classmates leads to an indirect proof of this concept.

Your young geologists generate a graph given a table of values from the context of latitude and percent of the earth's surface north of that latitude. The questions in the activity then focus the learners to a deeper understanding of the...

Teach your class how to apply their knowledge of geometry as they explore the unknown. In order to find an unknown angle, learners must understand that rectangles have four interior right angles, that right angles have 90 degrees, and...

What is a chemist's favorite plant? Stoichiome Tree! Scholars produce hydrogen gas by reacting magnesium with hydrochloric acid. Then they calculate the molar volume of the gas produced before answering assessment questions. 

In this writing expressions worksheet, students solve 2 multiple choice questions. Students write an equation given a sentence and write a sentence given an equation.

In this absolute value expression worksheet, learners solve 13 multiple choice and short answer questions. Students simplify absolute value expressions by adding, subtracting, and finding the absolute value of rational numbers.

In this noun worksheet students are asked to replace word phrases with quantity nouns. Students can trade and grade or self correct with the answer key provided.

In this chemistry review instructional activity, students answer 50 multiple choice questions on solutions. They identify different types of solutions and ways to express concentration.
