Students explore a variety of geometric shapes, name them, and list their characteristics. The shapes are transposed into structures and checked for accuracy.

Learners use tangrams, student literature, and Websites to explore shapes.

Students investigate road surface and calculate speed. In this algebra lesson, students analyze the roughness of a road and calculate distance and speed based on friction. They relate friction and energy to speed.

Pupils participate in a variety of activities to understand statistics. They collect and interpret data. Also students distinguish the difference between a population and a sample. They make inferences and create arguments using data.

Students learn what prime and composite numbers are. They learn how to identify them by working in a group and demonstrating an understanding of one work problem with 100% accuracy using the manipulatives provided.

Students examine a variety of real life situations in which they must access information, select an appropriate formula, and calculate an answer. A rectangular piece of grass provides an opportunity for the exploration of this lesson.

Young scholars identify, through the number of rows and columns, the factors related to the product. In turn, they also discover how to find the missing factor, which is part of the fact family for that product.

In this secondary mathematics worksheet, students use clues to determine each word and the correct placement of each word played in a Scrabble game.  The one page worksheet contains one problem.  Answers are not provided. 

Students discover patterns and write conjectures relating to perimeters and polygons. Working in cooperative learning groups, they use manipulatives and graphic organizers to solve problems then answer a series of questions in which they...

Students use powers of ten to make reasonable estimations for list of questions. They share their problem solving techniques with the class.
