Students stack several different colored marshmallows-one on top of the other-in the tall cylindrical container. They ct a cardboard disk to fit snugly inside of the container on top of the marshmallow stack using a compass if necessary....

In this parts of similar triangles worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 15 different statements related to naming the parts found in similar triangles. First, they identify each definition stated that describes an everyday usage of...

In this mathematics test bookelt, students solve problems studied during the year.  They solve problems covering topics such as probability, angle intersection, commission, percent, exponents, similar figures, and reading and...

In this length worksheet, students see the lengths of different leaves and answer word problems about them where they put them in a sequenced order. Students complete 3 problems.

Students work with given formulas to solve for specific variables. The calculation of the volume of a cylinder and the change in volume when there is a constant surface area is analyzed in this lesson.

Learners add or subtract fraction parts of mixed numbers before adding or subtracting the whole number parts. In this fractions lesson, students learn to use a ruler to help them add and subtract fractions with like denominators.

Students take measurements using a metric ruler, find a sum of multiple metric measurements, and use a histogram to graph their results.

Students accurately use a metric ruler to measure length. They find a sum of multiple metric measurements.

Learners practice working with the metric system. Students use a metric ruler to measure and record lengths of group member's smiles, and graph their results. Learners find the sum of all the smiles.

Learners measure distances and report them in fractions, convert fractions to decimals, and multiply decimals.

Students measure the length of student smiles and then record, order and graph their results.

In this unit students work in groups to find out about an endangered animal species. They design a zoo enclosure for the animal and build a scale model. Together the class constructs a zoo! In the process of planning and building the zoo...

Students begin to recognize that objects have many measurable attributes. They examine how to identify and accurately measure attributes of common objects. Also Students report their measurement findings.

Students research the impact of craters. In this range, mean, median and mode lesson, students complete an experiment with a marble to simulate the effects of a crater. Students collect and analyze data finding the range, mean, median...

Learners 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.

Seventh graders find the perimeter and area of triangles.  In this finding the perimeter and area of triangles lesson plan, 7th graders find the perimeter and area of triangles given two sides.  Students find the missing side...

Learners define the different methods used for optimizing a particular element of a problem. In this optimization problem instructional activity, students optimize appropriate details of a problem using data collection, algebra,...

Students build nets of three-dimensional prisms based on the dimensions they are given for hexagonal prism, triangular prism, rectangular prism. Working in groups, they use their prisms and calculate the Surface Area and Lateral Area.

In this cylinder worksheet, students compare three different cylinders to experiment which one has the greatest volume. Students interact with rectangles as they experiment with the cylinders.

Emergine space engineers discover the area of complex geometric shapes. They find that, just as a spacecraft is composed of many smaller parts, so can polygons be broken into smaller shapes.

In this measurement worksheet, students measure 10 lines to the nearest half-inch. Teacher must provide rulers.

Eighth graders investigate what would happen to the length of a rubber band as more and more rings were hung on it. They base their explanation on what they observed, and as they develop cognitive skills, they should be able to...

Students study the Manduca bug and its growth data. They look for patterns and compare their own growth rate to that of the Manduca.

Students investigate ways to enhance an object's flying ability.  In this model construction lesson, students construct two paper airplanes, one of which is twice as big as the first.  Students compare and contrast the two...
