Challenge your classes to complete an experiment from beginning to end. Learners make their own hypotheses, collect and analyze their own data, and make their own conclusions. They are on their way to becoming statisticians! 

Model for your learners that if they can solve an equation, they can rearrange a formula with a well-planned lesson that has plenty of built-in practice. As the lesson progresses the content gets progressively more challenging.

What better way to learn graphing inequalities than through discovering your own method! Class members use a discovery approach to finding solutions to inequalities by following steps that lead them through the process and...

Not all linear functions are linear transformations — show your class the difference. The first lesson in a unit on linear transformations and complex numbers that spans 32 segments introduces the concept of linear transformations and...

Corresponding parts, congruent parts, congruent corresponding parts—what does it all mean? The resource challenges pupils to identify corresponding parts for pairs of figures. It uses examples of figures that undergo rigid...

Students apply information regarding simple machines along with the math concept "ratios." The teacher introduces the concept that technology is the application of scientific knowledge and mathematics concepts to solve a problem. This is...

Texas Instruments and Glencoe/McGraw-Hill have put together a full lesson to help you instruct your math class. Using the textbook, a TI-83 calculator, and attached the PDF learners will solve systems of equations and state decimal...

Young learners explore fractions and demonstrate parts of a whole by using a candy bar and a piece of paper and dividing both into equal parts. Included is a worksheet that requires youngsters to color in half of each polygon shape. Some...

Middle schoolers complete several projects on the Middle Ages. In this world history lesson, students complete language arts, social studies, math, and science projects. Some of these include: comparing a teenager's life now to that in...

Sets, relations, functions, and graphing linear equations are practiced in this challenging worksheet. The class determines if a relation is a function or not and find the functional value of a domain element. The one page worksheet...

Eighth graders determine the square and cube roots of given numbers in this math lesson. They determine the missing number in a sequence. Additionally, they calculate the interior and exterior polygon angles.

How do we compare? Get your scholars measuring using this interactive and kinesthetic math activity. First, learners compare something (you announce- could be index finger, palm, feet, etc.) to classmates. Consider having them record...

You've hit the word problem jackpot with this set of 10 addition and subtraction scenarios! For each, learners have to find a missing number. Sometimes it is the sum or difference, and for others, an addend or minuend. For each, there is...

A visual measuring exercise that lends itself nicely to an all-class warm up, especially as it doesn't provide room for scholars to write in answers on the sheet itself. They examine 10 rulers and determine the length in either inches,...

Match the shapes! There are multiple potential objectives here as young scholars match shapes using different colored lines. There are four starter shapes and learners draw lines connecting them to matching shapes from a larger group....

What comes first? Practice order of events with this sequencing activity. Learners examine two sets of pictures and write 1st, 2nd, and 3rd beneath the corresponding pictures. Encourage them to explain their reasoning, as there may be...

Roll the dice! These addition number sentences are for beginning mathematicians, and each addend is displayed on a die. Learners add up two or three single-digit addends to find eight sums in the first half of this worksheet. Next, they...

Which of these numbers add up to 20? Scholars find various addend pairs in a grid, circling those that add up to 20. There are many pairs they can find here, and the answer sheet offers some excellent kinesthetic practice ideas for...

This geometric pattern will appeal to learners' artistic sides as they color various shapes based on a guide: they color circles blue, triangles red, squares green, and rectangles yellow. What does this finished design remind scholars...

Practice the comparison words lighter, heavier, longer, shorter, smaller, and bigger using this visual chart. For each set of three objects, pupils order them according to one of these terms. The six terms are illustrated...

Which square comes next? Each of these sequences is made up of patterned squares in a continuing order. Learners examine more squares to choose which one(s) would correctly continue the pattern. None of these have very complex sequences;...

Follow the pattern to find what comes next. Youngsters analyze shape patterns to continue the sequence in the provided space. The three patterns increase in difficulty, and then scholars have a chance to create two of their own....

As you introduce coordinate graphs to scholars, be sure to use guided worksheets like this one. Using an example for guidance, they write the coordinates of five points on a graph, each distinguished as a shape symbol. Next, scholars do...

For beginning point plotters, these graphs give a good introduction. They examine a graph with shapes drawn onto it and each vertex labeled. There are 20 total, and scholars write the coordinates of each labeled point. All of these are...
