Accelerate young physicists' learning with this collection of problem-solving worksheets. Starting off by teaching learners to identify the given information and variables in physics problems, this resource goes on to challenge them...

How does the graph intersect? Learners investigate the x-intercepts of polynomial functions. They first determine the relationship between the graph's interaction, then figure out the power of the factor.

Your young architects use the Internet to research tall structures or sky scrapers to help in the design of their scale drawings. This is lesson one of three in which learners design, build, and test model skyscrapers for seismic safety....

Students add and subtract integers. In this algebra lesson plan, students discuss number sense as they sort numbers in the correct order. They analyze and label numbers differentiating between rational and irrational numbers.

Using food as a manipulative is one of the best ways to incorporate hands-on learning in the classroom. This hands-on approach allows young mathematicians to compare, order, and identify fractions with the use of Twizzlers® and...

Discover the difference between standard and non-standard units of measure with your class. They differentiate between rectangles and squares, read a book, measure a peer's height. They then discuss  measurement methods, make...

Middle and high schoolers calculate the volume of cylinders. In this geometry activity, learners differentiate between rectangular prisms and cylinders. They use the correct formula to solve for each solid.

Tenth graders define the formula for cylinders and use it to solve real world problems. In this geometry lesson, pupils differentiate between area, perimeters, 2D shapes, 3D shapes, and volume of prisms, cylinders and spheres. They...

Students investigate properties of circles. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between similarity and congruence as they observe polygons. They investigate properties of two and three dimensional shape.

Sometimes, we forget how much there is to learn for a preschooler. This simple worksheet allows them to practice differentiating animals that are the same, from animals that are different. They must circle the animal that doesn't belong...

Square away any doubts about using a new resource. Pupils learn about squares and square roots in the mini-lesson plan. They complete a worksheet identifying roots of perfect squares up to 400.

Students differentiate between exponential growth and decay. In this algebra lesson plan, students solve exponential equations using properties of exponents. They use the Ti calculator to graph and analyze their functions.

Learners follow a series of instructions for drawing and coloring different shapes in order to learn the difference between the perimeter and area of a polygon. Then they are asked to find the perimeter and area of a 3x4 rectangular...

Fifth graders complete a mental arithmetic race worksheet while reviewing the associated concepts. In this mental math instructional activity, 5th graders complete as much of the associated worksheet as they are able to in one minute....

Students investigate the Napoleon triangle theory. In this polygon lesson, students  differentiate between the boundary points, interior and lattice point of a polygon. They apply concepts of equilateral triangles to solve...

Burgers and salads and sodas, oh my! Scholars use a menu to investigate the Fundamental Counting Principle. They create tree diagrams to illustrate the number of possible choices for each given scenario.

Show your classes the importance of mathematics in something as simple as bicycle design. The final lesson in the six-part STEM series has each group research a different aspect of the bicycle. Learners use mathematical formulas, linear...

Teach solving for unknowns through a problem-solving approach. The grouping of five lessons progresses from finding an unknown through simple reasoning to solving simultaneous equations involving three and four variables. Each lesson...
