Does jet lag affect a baseball team's performance in games? Read about how a baseball team's chance of winning a game can be affected by traveling over one, two, and three time zones. Readers then respond to five short answer questions...

Your class is to find the percent of the lot that is not covered by a house. Make sure your pupils understand the problems before they begin. The lot is the whole of the percent problem and the house is the part. The exercise is good...

Visual learners will benefit from this approach to teaching equivalent fractions, completing problems in multiple steps to observe the process more clearly. They complete eight problems.

Buying a new sofa? Learn how to use the Pythagorean Theorem, as well as algebra and graphing techniques, to determine whether the sofa will fit around a corner (which I'm sure you'll agree is a very important consideration!).

Algebra and geometry are not interchangeable. Demonstrate why not with a series of problems that deal with the equations of circles and equations of lines that meet specific criteria. 

Pupils demonstrate their understanding of nets by designing a net of a box that contains 12 bottles. Given the full size top and side views of the bottle, they determine the dimensions needed for the finished box. The directions do...

One of the key questions in statistics is whether the results are good enough. Use an activity to help pupils understand the importance of sample size and the effect it has on variability. Groups collect their own sample data and compare...

Apply geometry concepts to improve your pool game! Here scholars create the perfect bank shot using angles of incidence and refraction. They create three different options for the same shot.

Apply concepts of scale and ratio to determine relationships in irregular figures. Learners determine the ratio of the perimeters of two figures composed of rectangles and circles. After, they apply similar concepts to find the ratio of...

Scholars learn how to determine the area of compound shapes by finding the areas of the basic shapes that make it up. Pupils find the areas by adding areas together or subtracting them.

Combine geometry and algebra concepts to solve a modeling problem. Young scholars consider the effect surface area has on volume. They write a cubic function to model the possible volume given a specific surface area and then...

Mark off the length of the radius around the circle. Using a compass, the presenter shows how to construct a regular hexagon in a circle. Pupils see how triangles formed in the hexagon are equilateral, allowing for the construction to...

In this geometry instructional activity, 10th graders determine the measures of various angle pairs:  supplementary, complementary, and vertical angles.  The two page instructional activity contains a combination of twelve...

In this measuring lengths worksheet, students determine which units to use when measuring lengths, estimating lengths, and the errors made when measuring, Students estimate the lengths of each of the lines illustrate to the nearest unit....

In this isosceles triangle worksheet, students solve 19 multiple choice and short answer problems.  Students use the isosceles triangle theorem to determine unknown angle measures.

In this math worksheet, young scholars are given that c is the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Students must find 12 sets of missing measures. Young scholars also use the Pythagorean Theorem to determine whether a given set of measures...

Youngsters draw specified angles when given measurements of other angles and discover traits of angles in similar triangles. This one-page worksheet contains six multi-step problems.

For this math worksheet, young scholars will work with a coach to find the total area of a tree-house. Students will follow a step-by-step process and notes are provided for the coach.

In this math worksheet, learners are asked to used a compass and straight edge to construct copies of shapes, angles and line segments.

For this triangles worksheet, 10th graders solve 12 different problems that include various angles of triangles. First, they determine the measure of an exterior angle. Then, students determine the measure of any of the base angles of an...

In this math worksheet, students will work with a coach to find the perimeter of different shapes. Students will follow a step-by-step process and notes are provided for the coach.

In this Aurora Borealis worksheet, students read about how early scientists used triangulation to measure the height of the Aurora Borealis. Students solve 3 problems using triangulation.

In this recognizing map scale ratios activity, students use ratios and centimeter measurements to calculate the distances in reality. Students solve 8 problems.

In this recognizing fraction usage worksheet, students measure fractions in recipes, match fractions and pictures, and compare pizzas. Students solve 18 problems.
