In this data collection worksheet, students survey the heights of their fellow classmates, organize their data in a data table, and create a bar graph from their data. Once bar graph is completed, students complete 2 short answer...

In this writing equations worksheet, 9th graders solve and complete 20 different problems that include writing an equation and finding a solution for each problem. First, they read the problem through and write an equation that best...

Ddefine the relationships between fractions, decimals, and percentages in a series of lessons. The class practices converting between these three versions of a number. They also find the common factor of a numerator and denominator and...

You don't need a scale to determine weight. This activity provides a way to use the concepts of air pressure and surface area to determine the weight of a vehicle by calculating the amount of weight each tire supports.

Math vocabulary has never been easier to understand! Use vocabulary cards to bring word walls to your classroom, helping kids make the connection between important math terms and easy-to-understand illustrations.

Students explore the concept of making ice cream. In this ice cream lesson, students convert an ice cream recipe from metric units to English units. Students then make ice cream from the recipe they converted.

Third graders review important vocabulary to explain measures of central tendency and reaction time. In pairs, they measure reaction time of dropping and catching a ruler. Data is collected after repeated catches and information is...

In this moon learning exercise, learners read about the data collected from the Deep Impact/EPOXI and Cassini missions to the moon that have detected the presence of hydroxyl molecules under the moon's polar craters. Students solve 4...

Introduce your math class to the perimeter of a circle. Teach them that pi describes the relationship between the circumference and the diameter. As a hands-on investigation, pairs or small groups use string to compare these two values...

Second graders distinguish between and use nonstandard and standard units of measurement, use appropriate tools and techniques to measure length and width, and record and interpret data using graphs.

Seventh graders measure the diameter, circumference and radius of a circle and find pi using the diameter and circumference. In this geometry lesson, 7th graders work in groups to find the diameter, radius, and circumference of circles....
