Students duplicate the method that Archimedes used to estimate the value of pi. They complete a data table and find the approximate values of pi for three sets of polygons.

Eighth graders become engaged in a lesson in geometry to improve mathematical skills. They construct triangles, segments, and points using Geometer's Sketchpad to demonstrate how dilations of triangles and rectangles change geometric...

Young scholars take part in various activities ranging from creating a human clock, to small group problem solving to reinforce the concept of telling time accurately to five minutes on an analog clock.

Students use the Internet to answer lab questions about fractals, and then construct fractals using the initial stage and iteration rule. They complete tables and generate rules for the "nth" term and create their own fractals.

Students are introduced to the basics of Geometry. Using cutout shapes, they identify whether they are polygons by using the properties of polygons. They practice drawing shapes they are going to be using on an everyday basis and...

Students design a blueprint of a building. In this measurement lesson, students design a building on paper. Students copy their building's measurements into the Microsoft Paint program and write word problems about their buildings....

In this quadratic linear systems of equations worksheet, students solve ten word problems using systems of equations.  The solutions are provided.

Learners practice finding the sums of two-one digit numbers. In this addition lesson plan, students also record facts onto an addition chart.

Students calculate the height and altitude of a pyramid. In this geometry activity, students define the parts that make up a pyramid. They use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing parts of a pyramid.

Students choose the correct strategy to solve multiplication and division. In this algorithm lesson, students use at least two strategies that use properties of operations and estimation. Students also recognize the relationship between...

Students make a table on the computer, but create fractions and equivalent fractions through the use of color. They are able to manipulate fractions in order to gain a greater understanding of the meaning of whole number that is broken...

Students develop an appreciation for complex structures in nature. They observe patterns in nature in relationship to the Real World. Students use observation skills to assist in problem solving. They show comprehension of the concepts...

Third graders estimate and measure the length of a whole color-segmented, candy gummy worm. Then, as students bite off each segment, they estimate, measure and record findings in an activity log.

Third graders use nonstandard concrete methods to estimate and record measurements of their body.

Young scholars measure a set of Russian dolls using the metric system. In this measurement lesson plan, students identify certain relationships between sets of measurements by measuring a set of Russian dolls and presenting their...

For this Saturn worksheet, students use a photograph of a hexagon feature on Saturn to solve three problems. These include finding the time it takes for the jet stream to complete one circuit around the hexagon, to find the size of the...

Students study units of measure like cups, pints, quarts and gallons. They work in groups to create their own mixtures of trail mix using the measuring cups. Then they make a gorilla puzzle using a gallon bottle.

Students discover how to use a compass and how to use that knowledge in the field while applying orienteering and mathematical skills.

Students analyze relating a model to an algebraic equation and visa versa. Patterns are reviewed in detail and then in pairs new models are created and then translated into a word problem or equation. They illustrate their models on...

Third graders listen to Susan Hightower's, "Twelve Snails to One Lizard" and discuss the need for standard units of measurement. They make a body model on butcher paper which they use to measure their body parts and complete a worksheet....

In this two-step linear equations worksheet, 7th graders solve 15 various problems that include linear equations with more than one-step. First, they need to get the variable, x, alone by subtracting/adding the whole number on the same...

In this nonlinear systems of equations worksheet, students solve nonlinear equations through elimination. They read statements, write equations, and solve systems of equations. This two-page worksheet contains 20 multi-step problems.

Students discover the concept of elapsed time. In this calculating time lesson, students utilize the Internet to complete record sheets based on the concept of elapsed time. Finally, the students answer questions on their own.

In this statistics worksheet, students solve word problems using their probability and how many times an event may or may not occur. This worksheet contains 54 questions that are all word problems.
