Fifth graders collect temperature readings over a period of time, enter the information into a spreadsheet and choose the appropriate graph to display the results.

In this Saturn instructional activity, learners use a photograph of a hexagon feature on Saturn to solve three problems. These include finding the time it takes for the jet stream to complete one circuit around the hexagon, to find the...

In this Algebra II/Trigonometry worksheet, students solve problems involving angle of depression or elevation, evaluate trigonometric expressions, solve trigonometric equations, and graph trigonometric functions. The one page worksheet...

Students analyze relating a model to an algebraic equation and visa versa. Patterns are reviewed in detail and then in pairs new models are created and then translated into a word problem or equation. They illustrate their models on...

Students measure a set of Russian dolls using the metric system. For this measurement lesson plan, students identify certain relationships between sets of measurements by measuring a set of Russian dolls and presenting their findings to...

Third graders estimate and measure the length of a whole color-segmented, candy gummy worm. Then, as students bite off each segment, they estimate, measure and record findings in an activity log.

In this geometry worksheet, students are given a rectangle and a square. They verify ratios when given equal perimeters or areas. Students are given adjacent squares. They find the distance between the centers, and identify the means...

In this fractions worksheet, learners solve 10 short answer problems. Students find items around their home and weigh them. Learners convert units from one unit to another in the customary system.

For this nonlinear systems of equations worksheet, learners solve nonlinear equations through elimination. They read statements, write equations, and solve systems of equations. This two-page worksheet contains 20 multi-step problems.

Students identify the different properties of quadrilaterals. In this geometry-lesson, students define parallel sides and diagonals of polygons as they compare to a quadrilateral. They identify the methods to find the angles in a...

In this graphing functions worksheet, students solve 6 word problems, finding ordered pairs, missing coordinates and numbers, slopes of lines and functions.

Fourth graders calculate volume. In this volume lesson, 4th graders calculate, estimate, and compare units of volume in English and metric systems.

Fourth graders work in a group of 4 to make rectangle with a 12m length of string. They discuss its perimeter and how they would calculate its area. Then another group of 4 make another rectangle and estimate if the area would be greater...

Students explore similarity to see that the area of a circle should be a constant times the square of its radius. Students create a hexagon. Students share their designs with the class.

In this quadratic linear systems of equations worksheet, students solve ten word problems using systems of equations.  The solutions are provided.

Students use maps and mathematics to determine the appropriate panther population in a given area. In this Florida ecology lesson, students research the area requirements of male and female panther and use a map to help calculate how...

Students use the digital camera, identify geometric shapes (in nature as well as man-made), and gain a better understanding of geometric vocabulary. They search for and recognize geometric shapes in unusual settings

Students receive a copy of a "Spaghetti Measure" task sheet along with the scoring rubric. Students preview the task and the rubric prior to starting the task. tudeThey determine the circumference of a circle of spaghetti that will...

Students identify real world problems from given story problems. In this story problem instructional activity, students find places, events or items in the school environment that can be used to create story problems. Students take a...

Young scholars 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.

Fourth graders, acting as foresters, determine timber volumes as sawtimber or pulpwood for marketing. They find the marketable value of a tree using its diameter and volume.

Students explore the making of circles and concepts related to them in geometry. The project is inquiry based will focus upon students making their own nametags. The construction is ideal for hands on students.

Students are introduced to the concept of aerial perspective and scale. Students will use satellite technology to view their neighborhoods and sketch the area surrounding their schools. They will take part in a neighborhood walk to view...
