Explore the connection between operations with scientific notation and the laws of exponents. Scholars work on a set of word problems involving operations with scientific notation. Along the way, they consider how the laws of exponents...

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

Order up a resource on comparing rational numbers. Scholars order fractions, decimals, and percents by converting to a single form. They conduct a cut-and-paste activity ordering three sets of rational numbers.

Rotate this resource into your lesson plans. Scholars rotate polygons in the coordinate plane by multiples of 90 degrees. They then compare the original and new figures to develop conjectures about coordinate points after rotations.

Bring about the change you want to see in the world  or at least in your lesson plans. Young mathematicians learn about translation and reflections by applying them to polygons on the coordinate plane. Results provide data to...

For this math worksheet, students compare the expressions using the box method for graphing and the number sentence for each.

Second graders identify coin combinations needed to purchase items under a dollar. Using Kidspiration, they demonstrate three ways to purchase a pizza slice for 96 cents and choose an item which cost less than a dollar for other to...

Second graders solve math problems.  In this calculator lesson, 2nd graders practice typing money amounts into a calculator and use the calculator to solve math problems involving money.

In this Algebra I worksheet, 9th graders explore number and geometric patterns and use the Sieve of Eratosthenes to find the prime numbers less than one hundred.  The six page worksheet contains eight multipart questions. ...

Students plan a road trip, choosing destinations to visit and determining how much the trip cost. They create a journal that illustrates how they got from one place to another, and includes an expense sheet for each stretch.

Fourth graders are involved in a lab experience to look at the concept of heating up various materials to see how they react to an increase in temperature. They make observations and record them in a lab journal. Then students discuss...

Ninth graders translate sentences into equations. They translate equations into sentences. They solve real life problems using verbal models to write equations. They create a problem solution graphic organizer in their journals.

Fourth graders participate in a Web quest to Internet sites to learn how to identify minerals, discover the types of minerals present in their homes, and learn about birthstones. Students also keep journals to track new information that...

Students explore world leader's quests for peace. In this world leader research lesson, students read a speech by Archbishop Desmond Tutu and view budget figures for the United States. Students work in groups to create an alternate...

Learners write a journal entry about where there food comes from. In this Civil War lesson, students discuss journals, the crops grown within the U.S., the import/export process and what food preparation must have been like on a...

Eighth graders engage in hands-on activities to determine the surface areas of various objects. Using boxes, they cut them so they can lay flat and measure all the various shapes, which can be calculated and added together to equal the...

Sixth graders identify and measure right, acute, obtuse, and straight angles. In this geometry lesson, 6th graders review the definition of each angle and are shown examples of each specific angle. Students use toothpicks, gumdrops, and...

Sixth graders find the perimeters of polygons and use perimeters to form polygons. In this perimeter lesson, 6th graders study vocabulary associated with finding perimeter such as polygon, line segment, variable, and formula. They make...

Students identify lines in everyday images.  In this art analysis lesson, students practice drawing diagonal, vertical and horizontal lines on pieces of chart paper.  Students examine a page from a magazine and identify the...

Students order numbers and sets of objects from 0 through 10 and organize and interpret information collected from the immediate environment. They read and interpret graphs usin real objects and the computer. Finally, students sort a...

In this math worksheet, students read the information about an isosceles triangle. The ratio of the lengths of two sides is equal. They determine the exact measures of its angles.

In this math worksheet, students determine the locus of points, M, in plane ABC, such that KMAB=KMAC. They also draw the triangle ABC. Then determine the proof of the interior angles determining the identity of the equilateral triangle.

In this math worksheet, students find the solutions to the problems that involve solving equations with and without rational expressions.
