Fourth graders use tangram sets to investigate the congruence of shapes. They use congruent shapes to demonstrate the properties of slides, flips, and turns. They complete a math journal entry that describes and illustrates each concept.

Math wizards begin the lesson by comparing and ordering rational numbers. Using a number line, they discover the relationship between the numbers and practice ordering them in the correct way. They also review proper techniques for...

What does popcorn have to do with math?  Seventh grade mathematicians are provided an opportunity to develop a conceptual understanding of the formula for volume and to use it as a tool to solve problems. The instructional activity...

Several practice exercises suitable for any geometry class working on transformation, symmetry, and tessellation -- especially visual representations of image translation, rotation, and reflection, symmetry, tessellations and tangrams --...

Math whizzes read a series of slides describing steps to solving linear equations. They view a slide-show presentation. Each page, or slide, presents a different topic. Topics include: defining a linear equations, inverse operations,...

Comparing unit prices of food products is a skill that learners will use for the rest of their lives. Here is a simple plan that provides practice calculating the unit price for various grocery store products. Use two jars with differing...

As they examine 10 pairs of numbers, learners fill in the box between them to compare values. They use mathematical symbols to indicate greater than, less than, or equal to. The numbers are between 5 and 99. This drill-and-practice...

These addition and subtraction problems probably aren't written the way your scholars are used to seeing them, especially since they have double-digit addends and subtrahends. This set of eight horizontal equations gives...

Examine short number sequences to help scholars explore value comparisons. They look at various given numbers (both two-digit and three-digit) and write in values that are less or more by specific one-digit numbers (i.e. three less, two...

For this math puzzle worksheet, students use their problem solving skills to respond to 6 questions that require them to use subtraction.

In this math riddles activity, students use their problem solving skills to solve 5 riddles that require them to use their knowledge of addition and subtraction.

In this math worksheet, students read and analyze 14 real life word problems. Students decide on a strategy and perform the basic addition or subtraction operation. Some can be calculated mentally.

In this calculus worksheet, students solve functions using the derivatives. They calculate the volume where the graph is revolving around the x-axis, a line, the y-axis and where x=e. There are 28 questions.

Fifth graders create a musical composition, a drawing, or a 3D structure to show how math connects to other subjects. In this math and other subjects lesson plan, 5th graders present their presentations to the class and explain the...

Learners investigate an accident and relate it to math. In this trigonometry lesson, students measure the accident scene, the friction produced, and the speed from the skid marks. They create a poster of their findings.

Students create a project applying their math skills as they discuss energy conservation. In this geometry lesson, students define vocabulary relating to the environment and energy conservation. They construct a building that allow lots...

For this addition and subtraction worksheet, students add or subtract two digit numbers by two digit numbers. The worksheet has 36 problems for the students to practice the skill. The worksheet is Halloween themed.

A car traveling down a steep hill is the model for this resource. The confusion comes when the elevation, E, is given in terms of distance, d. The distance, d, is the horizontal distance from E. Therefore, the equation, E = 7500 – 250d,...

There are a few handy objectives to practice in this math instructional activity. The big picture is that learners count a set of triangles and compare the number with six other sets of shapes. They indicate if each value is greater...

Use a Platonic solids worksheet to record the number of faces, edges, and vertices of five polyhedra whose faces, edges, and vertices are all identical. For each figure, learners write a proof of Euler's formula (F+V=E+2). They create a...

A straightforward tool for practicing writing numbers 1 through 20. Young scribes trace each number once, then write it independently. Ideas for games to make practice more fun and to extend understanding of the sequence of numbers...

Oh no! These watermelons have no seeds! Beginning counters use fun templates as they roll dice and draw the resulting number of seeds onto the watermelon image. They also write the number in the space beside the watermelon. Consider...

As you begin explaining measurement with consistent units, scholars can use this to practice before they are introduced to more complicated systems (i.e. a ruler). They measure five familiar objects against a row of boxes, which serve as...
