More, Less, and Equally Likely
In this math making predictions worksheet, students solve 3 math word problems that require them to make predictions based on the information presented.
Mathematics Vision Project
Quadratic Equations
Through a variety of physical and theoretical situations, learners are led through the development of some of the deepest concepts in high school mathematics. Complex numbers, the fundamental theorem of algebra and rational exponents...

Probability Kisses
Students explore the concept of probability by picking from a bag of multicolored Hershey kisses. They determine if they are less, more, or equally likely to pick a certain color based on the numbers of each colored Hershey kiss.

Is It Likely or Is It Unlikely?
n a class discussion Students identify events or situations as being likely to occur or unlikely to occur. Then, they work in pairs to generate likely and unlikely statements to share with the class.

Boxed In and Wrapped Up
If cubes have the smallest surface area, why aren't there more cube-shaped packages? Scholars take a box in the shape of a rectangular prism, cut it up, and make new boxes in the shape of cubes with the same volume. They then brainstorm...

Comparing Fractions
Young mathematicians compare two fractions with like denominators and then move to the next level to compare fractions with unlike denominators. They will first try to use mental math to make educated guesses. There are a few guidelines...

Some Potential Dangers When Solving Equations
Need a less abstract approach to introducing extraneous solutions? This is it! Young mathematicians explore properties used to solve equations and determine which operations maintain the same solutions. They eventually find that squaring...

Identify the Suitable Events
In this probability worksheet, 4th graders must decide whether each stated occurrence is likely, less likely, sure, or impossible. Students solve for 6 problems using the space provided to write each answer and/or explain.

Take Three Or Less
Fourth graders play a game clarifying when a game is "fair". They play in pairs stressing that the idea that they work out a winning strategy for the first player. They look for patterns to suggest that they start with a smaller number...
