Students collect, organize, and display data using a bar graph, line graph, pie graph, or picture graph. They write a summary describing the data represented and compare the graph to another graph in the class.

Sixth graders explore the use of shapes to create geometric patterns. they start with a simple example of dividing shapes in half to create two new ones. This can be extended to creating intricate patterns.

Second graders accurately measure the distances they and their classmates jump. They determine the mean, median and mode of specific jumps. They are required to have two measurements for each classmate, one for standing long jump and one...

Students identify and explore the attributes of polygons. They design and create a quilt square using polygons, and produce a class quilt.

Fourth graders conduct an experiment involving size and relative ability in smaller species using Madagascar cockroaches. They make predictions about how many pennies the roaches can pull, compare the results to human strength, and...

Fifth graders read postcards and find their locations on maps. They use the pictures and text on the postcards to write about imaginary vacations. They compute the mileage and compare it to TripMaker data.

Fourth graders measure to the nearest centimeter. They work together to create a portrait of themselves with an accurate measurement of their smile to the nearest centimeter. This is a creative way for students to explore centimeters.

Students create a scale drawing of their own homes. They use geometric formulas to find the area of each room and the total area of the home.

Fifth graders explore equivalent fractions. In groups, classmates follow instructions to tear paper into fractional parts. Students brainstorm real life items that are equivalent. They model and identify equivalent fractions using...

In this data analysis worksheet, 8th graders solve and complete 4 different problems that include determining the line of best fit for each. First, they write the prediction for an equation for each situation described. Then, students...

For this perimeter and area of complex figures practice worksheet, students sharpen their problem solving skills as they solve 6 story problems.

In this solving proportions using cross products practice worksheet, students sharpen their problem solving skills as they solve 6 story problems.

Students study the penny, nickel, dime and quarter, one each day for four days, using a magnifying glass to identify the similarities. Then students discuss differences and value and learn a 'rap' to memorize values.

Students, in groups, measure and record each other's height. They identify measurement conversion methods and use online resources to convert measured heights to multiple systems.

Two students are blindfolded and each receives a cardboard square, one with pompoms glued around the edge and one with pompoms glued all over the surface. They identify what they feel. The class discusses perimeter and area of polygons....

Learners conduct an experiment to study friction. They complete a KWL chart on friction and conduct an activity about the amount of friction on a moving object. To conclude, pupils create a table or graph of the data collected and they...

Students listen to a read aloud of Mary Ann Hoberman's A House Is a House for Me before discussing the meaning of habitats and the different types of homes that people live in. Next, they pretend to be architects and design a home for...

Students calculate the mean, median, mode, range, and interquartile range for a set of data. They create a box and whisker plot using paper, pencil and technology.

Students predict which of two glasses is 1/2 full using visual estimation, height measurement, and liquid measurement methods. Mathematical equations to accurately solve the problem are determined and verified.

Students view a video clip about the role of satellites in space. They examine the concept of center of mass. They participate in an experiment showing how altering the location of an object's center of mass can change its motion.

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders apply the Pythagorean Theorem as they determine the length of the missing leg or hypotenuse in right triangles.  The one page worksheet contains twelve questions.  Answers are...

Fifth graders identify, describe, and classify lines, line segments, rays, and angles. When given a diagram of a line, they classify the line as perpendicular, parallel, intersecting, vertical, horizontal, and/or diagonal.

Second graders explore how to use measurement in everyday life.

Pupils identify, model, and label simple fractions. They describe and define them as equal parts of a whole, a region and a set. Students use words to describe fractions. They use manipulatives to explore the many different fractions.
