Help the local elementary school fix their playground by calculating the amount of sand needed near the swing set. The problem practices setting up proportions and ratios with three different options for solving. You can chose the option...

What does translating points on a number line have to do with solving inequalities? Young mathematicians first learn about translations of points on a number line, and then use this information to solve linear inequalities in one variable.

Investigate equivalent fractions with your class. They compare and order fractions. Then they work cooperatively in groups to experiment and problem solve with fractions using a game format. Multiple resources are provided.

This highly scaffolded, summative assessment tasks learners to choose the model that represents the height of a bouncing basketball given the data in graph and table form. Learners then use the model to answer questions about the...

Your learners create their own spinner using different colors and analyze the likelihood of landing on certain colors. The solutions are presented as fractions.

Investigate the area and perimeter of polygons in this geometry lesson plan. Young geometers use grid paper to draw a quadrilateral and calculate its area and perimeter. They also read The Greedy Triangle to identify the changing shape...

An engaging hands-on activity is presented. Learners of all ages are addressed in thie unique plan. K-5 learners identify, name, and define a rectangle, square, triangle, and the concept of area. Older learners prove the Pythagorean...

Children explore fractions on a conceptual level by making individual quilt squares. Each student works with small paper swatches to divide them into pieces that represent a given fraction. The class is then separated into groups and...

Turn your algebra learners into meteorologists. Students are given three graphs that contain information about the weather in Santa Rosa, California during the month of February, 2012. Graph one shows temperatures, graph two displays the...

Here is a very interesting way of studying triangles and polygons. Pupils work together and use pieces of string to create a variety of shapes. Depending on how many kids are manipulating the string at any one time, the number of...

This un-scaffold summative assessment tasks learners to use the height of a bouncing basketball, given the data in graph and table form, to choose the model that is represented. Learners then use the model to answer questions about...

Let the resource take center stage in a lesson on population density. Scholars use provided historical data on the center of the US population to see how it shifted over time. They plot the data on a spreadsheet to look the speed of its...

In this customary length worksheet, learners solve 4 problems where they must choose the better estimate of length. Students solve 12 problems where they must compare, convert and order customary lengths.

In this probability worksheet, students solve 6 word problems where they determine the probability of certain outcomes that occur when spinning different spinners, rolling dice, choosing events and hitting targets.

Young scholars solve problems involving area. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the area of an object and relate it to the area of the ocean. They define what exactly and area is and then solve problems relating to the real world.

Students change the scale of a work of art using ratios, percentages, and proportions. While this is technically an art lesson, there is quite a bit of mathematics involved in converting to the correct scale.

For this Algebra II worksheet, 11th graders solve nonlinear inequalities, graph the solution set on the number line, and write the solution in interval notation.  The one page worksheet contains thirty-eight problems.  Answers...

In this perimeter and area worksheet, students find the surface area of given polygons.  They determine the area of shaded regions.  This one-page worksheet contains 10 multiple-choice problems.  Answers are provided.

Students solve problems using the metric system. In this algebra lesson, students convert between the metric system and the Imperial system. They use these two systems to solve real life problems.

In this statistics worksheet, 9th graders solve and complete 10 various types of multiple choice problems. First, they determine the mean number of miles per day that were completed. Then, students determine the data set that has a...

Fourth graders investigate patterns and sequences.  In this patterns and sequences lesson, 4th graders use a hundreds chart to build recurring patterns.  Students skip count by threes and fives on a hundreds chart by coloring...

Students properly leap and measure their distance. In this leaping lesson plan, students practice leaping for accuracy and proper form. Students estimate their leaps and measure with rulers. Students determine distance covered by the...

Two students are blindfolded and each receives a cardboard square, one with pompoms glued around the edge and one with pompoms glued all over the surface. They identify what they feel. The class discusses perimeter and area of polygons....

Students explore the basic geometric shapes and geometric shape vocabulary through the use of geoboards and virtual geoboards. They create a variety of shapes with a partner, build ten different rectangles on their geoboards, and...
