One is chance, two is a coincidence, three's a pattern. Scholars must determine similarities and differences of a regular hexagon undergoing dilation. They look at lengths, angles, areas, and symmetry.

Develop a strategy for finding the area and perimeter of irregular figures. Building on an understanding of finding area and perimeter of rectangles and triangles, learners apply the same concepts to composite figures. After...

Pupils analyze a pattern of conference tables to determine the number of tables needed and the number of people that can be seated for a given size. Individuals develop general formulas for the two growing number patterns and...

In this points, lines, planes, and space worksheet, learners solve word problems dealing with points, lines, planes, and space. Students complete 20 individual problems and 20 group problems.

The history of math is fascinating! Utilize a woodcut primary source image from 1492 and posters from the 1930s to help geometers apply their volume-calculation skills to real-life questions. 

The problem seems simple: find the area of the equilateral triangle whose sides are each length 1. In fact, this same problem is solved in 8th grade, addressing a different Common Core standard, using the formula for area of a triangle...

Don't be a square! Help your budding mathematicians discover patterns within squares. Scholars create squares on geoboards and identify patterns in the number of nails, both nails on the edge of the squares and nails within the squares....

In this math and science worksheet, students read about the process of photosynthesis and plant growth. They determine how a plant's ability to create food is dependent on the surface area of its leaves using geometric calculations. They...

In this beginning fractions worksheet, students solve four problems in which the same geometric figure is divided in half two different ways.

In this geometry learning exercise, 10th graders answer questions about right triangles by identifying the 3 sides of the triangle. They analyze the different shapes of polygons and relate them to right triangles to find the sides using...

In this geometry worksheet, 6th graders study comprehensive facts pertaining to volume and measurement of geometric, three-dimensional figures. Students solve for 59 problems showing their work.

See how design and geometry go hand in hand. The activity asks learners to use geometry to design a backyard garden given dimensions of each feature. Scholars work with ratios and scale to develop an accurate scale drawing that includes...

The ABCs of math are so important. Find commonly used math terms in a 42-page packet. Each page has the word, a place to write the definition, and a place to give specific examples of the term. A must-have for all math classrooms!

If cubism were a religion, would you follow it? Lower-level tasks focus primarily on counting the number cubes in a structure and relating the number to surface area. As learners progress to higher-level tasks, isometric drawings and...

A General Certificate of Secondary Education math review has class members make basic constructions. Using a protractor and a ruler along with a compass, pupils develop drawings of triangles with given measurements. Scholars use their...

Your class examines a series of shapes and discusses how we know that they are not circles. In this way, you begin to acquaint them with the properties and parts of this geometric figure. Then, teach them how to use a protractor to...

In this volume instructional activity, students calculate the volume by finding out how many units each figure has. Students complete 4 problems where they find the volume.

Parallelograms are pairs of triangles all the way around. Pupils measure to determine the area and perimeter of a parallelogram. They then find the area of the tirangles formed by drawing a diagonal of the parallelogram and compare their...

To take the longest path, go around—or was that go over? Class members measure scale drawings of a cylindrical vase to find the height and diameter. They calculate the actual height and circumference and determine which is larger.  

In this recognizing the importance of recycling worksheet, students complete a cryptograph, read facts about milk and juice cartons, and read about making crafts from trash. Students write 10 answers.

Building blocks have more uses than simply entertaining children. Young mathematicians calculate the volume of a given cube, and then calculate the volume and surface area of a prism formed from multiple cubes.

Test your scholars' knowledge of a multitude of concepts with an assessment aligned to the California math standards. Using the exam, class members show what they know about the four operations, positive and negative numbers, statistics...
