In this similar triangles worksheet, students solve 6 similar triangles. Students use proportions to solve similar triangles and similar rectangles.

Students create a mini city using proportions that fit a model human they construct using tin foil. They plan the city including a library, sports arena, living spaces, parks and businesses. When constructing the paper buildings, they...

Your class will use a TI calculator to drag vertices of rectangles and triangles to observe what happens to ratios of pairs of sides within each figure. They will apply the definition of similarity to identify similar shapes. The lesson...

Students find the factor of proportionality in similar polygons. In this similarity of polygons lesson plan, students measure the sides and angles of polygons and derive a factor of proportionality between corresponding pairs of sides...

In this angular size and similar triangles activity, students use the properties of similar triangles and the ratios of sides to solve for unknowns in given diagrams.

In this betting game of odds worksheet, learners review and discuss what odds mean and then play a game with a racing post and a ratio fact and worksheet.

Learners use similar triangles to find missing heights.  In this using similar triangles to find missing heights lesson, students use proportions to find the heights of missing side lengths.  Learners find the height of trees...

For this similar triangles worksheet, students find the scale factor of 6 sets of similar triangles. Students find the scale factor of two similar triangles given a sketch with measurements. Students use proportions to find a missing...

Mathematicians compare triangles at different scales. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the area and perimeter of triangles. They use the Ti to make observation of the change that takes place as the triangles are dilated.

In this percents activity, students complete 3 charts in which percents, decimals and fractions are converted. Students also solve 20 problems with the changing of percents to decimals or fractions.

Eighth graders understand that proportional enlargement of shapes doesn't change the angles of those shapes. In this similarity activity, 8th graders complete exercises to create enlargements of shapes and understand similar shapes.

Students use similar triangles and a sight tool to find the height and distance between large objects. In this similar triangles lesson plan, students use a constructed sight tool to measure the distance and height of an object using an...

In this proportions and similar polygons instructional activity, students solve the problems that use proportions, rations, fractions, and similar polygons.

Sixth graders investigate logging and the process of paper making.  In this forestry lesson, 6th graders analyze pictures of trees being processed into the paper they use everyday.  Students solve and create math problems based...

Students practice saying their numbers and identifying the words. They use whole numbers and decimals to practice grouping numbers into different categories. They write the word of the number they are shown.

Sixth graders explore economics by solving business math problems. In this ratio and proportion instructional activity, 6th graders examine different meals to be purchased at a coffee shop and compare which prices make which meals a...

Learners calculate the distance they can travel on a tank of gas. In this algebra lesson plan, students use ratio and proportion to solve word problems. They graph their results and discuss their findings with the class.

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.

Your learners will get lots of practice calculating simple and compound interest by the end of this lesson. Simple explanations and examples lead learners through the concepts and steps of calculating simple and compound interest...

Does the number of calories you eat affect the total time you sleep? Young mathematicians tackle this question by collecting their own data and making comparisons between others in the class through building scatter plots and regression...
