In this math word problems instructional activity, students read the following questions carefully and answer the math problems. Students show their work and include the complete unit of measure in their answer.

In this metric activity, students examine conversion factors for length, mass, volume and area. Definitions of prefixes and metric abbreviations are identified.

A multi-step problem has learners finding the actual area based on a scale drawing and then converting units at the end. Two different solution choices are listed depending on the preference on which step to start first. Both methods can...

Don't leave this task on the shelf — use it is assess middle schoolers understanding of patterns. Participants try to discover a pattern in the number of bricks and planks used to make shelves. They then match descriptions...

Scaling needs to be picture perfect. Pupils use proportional reasoning to find the missing dimension of a photo. Class members determine the sizes of paper needed for two configurations of pictures in the short assessment task.

Help learners find joy in facing mathematical challenges. The questions posed on this worksheet encourage young mathematicians to utilize skills learned throughout a geometry unit, and to apply themselves and persevere through...

Even though pennies seem to be relatively thin, stack enough of them into a single stack, and you could have quite a high stack. Enough so, that the final result can be a surprise to you as well as your class. This activity centers...

Using helium as an example of propane, physical science middle schoolers experiment with and graph the relationship between temperature and volume in gases. In a whole-class demonstration, they show how molecules behave under different...

Does standard deviation work for non-symmetrical distributions, and what does it mean? Through the use of examples, high schoolers determine the standard deviation of a variety of distributions and interpret its...

Here is a worksheet that is almost a lesson! In it, learners conduct an experiment in which they determine the size of objects when viewed through viewing tubes. This resource has all of the instructions and tables necessary to complete...

Out with the old and in with the new. Learners use a set of prices of computer monitors from 1994 to make a prediction. They then use one current price and what they know about the old prices to make a more recent prediction. Their...

In this Iditarod worksheet, students complete word problems about fractions, money, and more, based on the Iditarod race. Students complete 10 problems.

Using a teacher-built wind tunnel constructed from a paper concrete tube form, a fan, and a balance, individuals determine the amount of drag their rocket design will experience in flight. Pupils make modifications to increase the...

Young scientists create a simulation of Hubble's law. Introducing the Big Bang Theory using balloons and a simple lab worksheet, scholars complete a data table and perform analysis.

What does translating points on a number line have to do with solving inequalities? Young mathematicians first learn about translations of points on a number line, and then use this information to solve linear inequalities in one variable.

Let the resource take center stage in a lesson on population density. Scholars use provided historical data on the center of the US population to see how it shifted over time. They plot the data on a spreadsheet to look the speed of its...

Just how far away from the mean is the data point? Pupils calculate the standard deviation for a set of data and find out how many standard deviations a point is away from the mean. The teacher leads a discussion on how to calculate...

For this dividing with mixed numbers practice worksheet, students sharpen their problem solving skills as they solve 6 story problems.

In this snow problem worksheet, high schoolers examine clues to determine the snowfall in designated years.  They list the snowfall in order from greatest to least.  This one-page worksheet contains 1 problem.  The answer...

In this geometry worksheet, 6th graders solve 6 word problems in which they find the circumference of items that are circles. They find the circumference of items such as a basketball hoop, a cereal bowl, and a circular frame.

In this maximum and minimum points worksheet, students solve and complete 12 various types of problems. First, they find the area of the smallest triangle given the point of intersection. Then, students find the volume of a box that has...

In this formula instructional activity, students use formulas to solve 5 word problems, showing their work. Houghton Mifflin text is referenced.

In this lung capacity worksheet, students use straws, funneling, liquids, tubing, and more to test their lung capacity. Students follow 14 sets of directions and analyze their data.

In this rational expression worksheet, students graph rational equations, evaluate limits, state intercepts, asymptotes, and roots and factor.  This worksheet is designed as a test to be completed with a calculator.
