Third graders have a blast trying to measure live, wiggly, stretching worms to the nearest inch. Groups record their data onto a class graph and then compare characteristics. They share their findings with the rest of the class. Fun lesson!

In this dividing by fractions practice worksheet, students sharpen their problem solving skills as they solve 6 story problems.

In this literature response instructional activity, students answer 6 essay questions about the symbols and theme of perseverance in Chapters 35-37 of Holes by Louis Sachar.

Students investigate measurement.  For this fifth/sixth grade mathematics lesson, students explore the relationship between inches and centimeters.  Students measure their height in inches or centimeters and convert the...

Students use an appropriate unit of measure to measure an item in the classroom. They create a PowerPoint to demonstrate the measurement process. Pupils are divided into pairs. Students use a concept map to discuss the terms for...

Young mathematicians demonstrate what they know about measurement with a four-task assessment that focuses on estimation, length, and inches.

Discover another way to find the volume of a cone. Pupils explore how the area of a cross section changes as it moves through a cone. The interactive uses that knowledge to develop the integral to use to find the volume of the cone....

Finding the volume is an integral characteristic of a vase. Using the idea that summing the areas of cross-sectional disks will calculate the volume of a rotational solid, pupils find the volume of a vase. Scholars determine the interval...

Crafting is fun, it increases eye-hand coordination, and it is a great way to accent any lesson. Celebrate Earth Day by creating scrap fabric flowers for a pop-stick flower garden. Children of all ages will love gluing, cutting, and...

Behind all good design and construction lies a perfect set of plans that are created by a person who knows his, or her, math! Youngsters practice using one of the key tools of the draftsman, the ruler, to practice measuring...

Picture this. Class members follow in the footsteps of W. Eugene Smith, Dorothea Lange, James Nachtwey, and Lewis Hine by creating their own photo essay about a local event or issue.

Teams learn about the size of a nanometer by measuring objects and converting those measurements. A activity then tests the groups' abilities to use nanometers by having them determine the size of objects that are too small to...

Can you infer the wiring diagram of a series of lights based on their behavior alone? Scholars work with multiple boxes of four lights. They must flip the switch and decide how the lights are wired. By applying their knowledge of...

By selecting the resource, you're already halfway to understanding midpoints. Pupils use a slider to locate midpoints on the coordinate plane. They connect this conceptual understanding to the formula for the midpoint of a line segment.

Line up the temperature conversions. Pupils create the linear function between Celsius and Fahrenheit on a graph by plotting the freezing and boiling points of water. The scholars determine how the relationship changes based upon...

Aim for a better understanding of vector components. Scholars adjust the angle of release on a bow and determine the horizontal and vertical components of the velocity vector. The pupils finish by determining how the angle affects...

Spin a wheel, land on a color ... and win. Learners create a graph to display the probabilities of the amount of money they can win by spinning a colored wheel. The pupils use the dollar amounts and their probabilities to calculate the...

Envision the function as the point swings. Given a point connected to another point and a line, pupils trace through an invisible graph. Learners identify the name of the given point and the line and determine the type of conic section...

In this converting yards, feet and inches worksheet, learners complete the table by filling in 16 spaces by converting the measures given to yards, feet or inches.

A n incredibly thorough worksheet on how to read and use a ruler awaits yours students. Students identify lines on the ruler and use the proper abbreviations for the lengths. Students answer ten questions about ruler usage.

The first 12 problems on this practice page require prealgebra participants to convert units of length. In the next eight problems, they compare lengths using inequality symbols. There are two functions tables to complete and then two...

Step by step, two examples of creating number lines are explained through a series of animations. One is meant to watch at home, the second can be viewed in class, and there is a third tab with two sample problems to try. This skill,...

The rule is add before multiplying, even with matrices. Pupils use a slider to change the scalar multiplying the sum of two matrices. The interactive displays the resulting solution matrix, and requires scholars answer five questions...

Scalar multiplication equations can be a drag. Scholars determine missing matrices to make correct scalar matrix multiplication equations. They place the correct matrix into the equations within the interactive resource and analyze the...
