Congratulations, you've just hit the word problem jackpot! Covering an incredible range of topics from integers and fractions, to percents, geometry, and much more, this collection of worksheets will keep young mathematicians...

Help your class understand the magnitude of the distance between Earth and Mars with an activity that asks small groups to use balloons to create scale models of the Earth, Moon, and Mars. Class members figure out the distances...

A five-lesson unit challenges teams to design a complex to allow people to colonize the Moon. The teams first work in order to understand the challenge before becoming experts. Expert teams learn about different aspects needed to survive...

The test may say you have cancer, but sometimes the test is wrong. The provided task asks learners to analyze cancer statistics for a fictitious town. Given the rate of false positives, they interpret the meaning of this value in the...

Seventh graders participate in a lesson that focuses on having them solve different proportions. The lesson includes an example that the teacher can work from in order to deliver direct instruction.

Pupils study proportions. In this mathematics instructional activity, students measure their body length, head length, and ratio of their body, write their findings on a group chart, and discuss how a person's head size or arm span are...

Fifth graders explore ratios. Using models and real-world scenarios, they complete tables and generate comparisons. Pupils demonstrate multiple ways of writing ratios and describe the differences between ratios.

Young scholars engage in a lesson that is involved with ratios. They use the jigsaw in order to actively take part in the lesson. Students play the game with the ratio puzzle pieces. The puzzle is completed while using the follow up...

In this skittle math worksheet, students sort skittles by color and create a bar graph for each color of skittle. Students also answer comparison, ratio, and relationship questions about the skittles.

Young ratio masters calculate and cut a frame (out of poster board) to accurately create an even frame around a picture of themselves. The frame needs to be proportional to the picture with constraints determined by the instructor. 

Why are right triangles so special? Pupils begin their study of right triangles by examining similar right triangles. Verifying through proofs, scholars recognize the three similar right triangles formed by drawing the altitude. Once...

What energy drinks have the highest concentration of caffeine? Pupils compare five energy drinks with different amounts of caffeine and different volumes. They must solve the ratios to understand the differences. An extension compares...

Teaching linear function relationships using contextual information is beneficial to pupils' understanding. The lesson uses problem solving to build linear functions given different information for each problem. This is the second...

Your task today: count all the trees on a tree farm. To complete the assignment, learners first estimate the number of trees on a tree farm using random sampling. To improve their own response they then evaluate provided...

Juice up your lessons with an open-ended resource. Scholars must determine how many oranges it takes to fill a container with juice. They use information presented in a video and as images to find the solution. 

Young scholars differentiate between similar and congruent triangles. In this geometry lesson plan, students identify the missing side and angle of a triangle. They identify the different ratio and proportion of the sides of a triangle.

Students use the correct tool to measure distances. For this geometry lesson, students use an odometer and ruler correctly as they study maps. They describe how far way something is.

Sixth graders pariticipate in a lesson that focuses on the finding of a ratio and using it to set up a proportion in realtionship to creating a scale drawing. This is done using given problems. It would be valuable for students to have...

Eighth graders follow a recipe, focusing on the concepts of ratio and proportion, to mix a batch of icing. They decorate cupcakes in the form of a pumpkin.

High schoolers participate in activties examining ratios and proportions. They use graphs to interpret data showing the government's budget for prisons. They present what they have learned to the class.

Learners measure and apply their knowledge of proportion to solve problems. In this geometry lesson, students measure using a meter stick, small mirror and measuring tape. They compare and contrast their measurements to objects outside...

Sixth graders plan a trip for a family of four choosing their travel plan by studying maps to decide upon a route and visiting Websites to get airline and travel schedules. They use ratios and proportions as well as converting fractions...

This lesson focuses on unit conversion, proportions, ratios, exponents, and the metric system. Discuss measurement with your math class and demonstrate how to solve several health-science word problems. Give learners a chance to visit an...

Students are introduced to a problem involving an environmental issue. They are introduced to the capture-recapture method which involves capturing fish, tagging them, returning them and recapturing another sample. Pupils work in...
