In this unit designed for second graders, youngsters are introduced to conducting surveys and creating tally charts based on the data they gather. Students then construct bar graphs, and observe the relationships between the two...

Give AP Calculus classes the opportunity to check the accuracy of their calculations! A calculus activity involves the collection of data, the application of mathematics, and the analysis of the accuracy of results. Young mathematicians...

It's the stairway to learning! Scholars research all aspects of building a staircase. Using information from building codes, they write and graph a system of inequalities to analyze the constraints. The completed project is a scale model...

It's the classic please excuse my dear aunt sally strategy to remembering the order of operations. Young mathematicians practice to develop an understanding of the order of operations. Examples and practice problems include...

Odd or even—fifty-fifty chance? Pupils first conduct an experiment rolling a pair of dice to generate data in a probability lesson. It goes on to introduce mutually exclusive and non-mutually exclusive events, and how to use the...

What's so special about slope? Pupils first match cards with slope and y-intercept to graphs of linear equations. They continue the lesson by matching equations in slope-intercept form to the same graphs.

True or false — Double Stuf Oreos always contain twice as much cream as regular Oreos. Scholars first measure the masses of the filling in regular Oreos and Double Stuf Oreos to generate a class set of data. They use hypothesis testing...

Water, water, everywhere? Each pupil first uses an Internet program to select 50 random points on Earth to determine the proportion of its surface covered with water. The class then combines data to determine a more accurate estimate.

One of the key questions in statistics is whether the results are good enough. Use an activity to help pupils understand the importance of sample size and the effect it has on variability. Groups collect their own sample data and compare...

How does your garden grow? Use proportions to help Tim answer that question. By using their understanding of proportional relationships, pupils determine the number of seeds that will sprout. They create their own linear...

Moooove over, there's a better deal over there! The fourth segment in a series of eight requires individuals to determine the best unit cost for milk. Scholars calculate the least amount they can spend on a particular quantity of...

Model the effects of practice on texting speed. Pupils develop a linear equation that models the change in texting speed based on the amount of practice. The sixth performance task in an eight-part series requires learners to solve...

Cut-and-paste a great activity into your lesson plans. Scholars analyze real-world problems involving proportions. To change things up a bit they cut-and-paste quantities to create a proportion on their way to solving the problems.

In this algebra worksheet, 11th graders rewrite word problems using algebraic symbols. They relate parabolas to the real world and calculate the breaking distance using the distance formula they come up with. There is answer key.

In this computation and mental math learning exercise, students solve and complete 3 different types of problems. First, they color the animal on top yellow. Then, students color the animal in the middle brown. Finally, they color the...

In this college level calculus worksheet, students evaluate the given integrals and compute the given limits or show that the limit does not exist.  The three page worksheet contains ten problems.  Answers are not provided. 

In this college level calculus worksheet, students compare two series to compute the error given the number of terms added. Students write the Maclaurin and Taylor series for the given functions. The two page worksheet contains seven...

In this math worksheet, students examine the numbers in the maze and determine if they are even or odd. The sheet is a teacher's guide.

In this group counting instructional activity, students count each group and cross out items to make less. Students work towards counting backwards as a strategy to mentally compute "less."

In this math worksheet, students perform the operations with decimals using a calculator to find the solutions. The sheet is intended as a teacher's guide.

In this math worksheet, learners perform the operations with integers on a calculator to find the answers. The sheet is a teacher's guide.

In this multiple integration worksheet, students set up and evaluate double and triple integrals. Students compute the volume of a tetrahedron bounded by defined planes.

In this math worksheet, students investigate the concept of using combinations. They compare this with permutations where a different order of the same set of objects is counted separately for the outcome.

For this math worksheet, students practice using the constant feature of the calculator by performing an operation several times with the same decimal value but starting with different values.
