Introduce your freshmen to analogies with this packet of prompts that also includes strategies for solving these critical thinking puzzles.

Fifty-eight flashcards make up a set designed to reinforce math vocabulary. Within the set, you'll find bold-faced word cards as well as definition cards that offer a labeled example. Terms include base, percent, theoretical...

Let your classes show you what they know! Use this pre-test to assess the current knowledge of your learners. The assessment includes all pre-algebra concepts related to functions: writing and graphing linear relationships, comparing...

A decimal is just a fraction in disguise! Scholars learn methods for converting decimals and fractions including repeating decimals. Performing the conversions strengthens their understanding of the relationship between the two forms....

A 13-page test contains two 40-minute sections, which provide word problems and applied analysis to cover material from pre-algebra through geometry.

As a middle school assessment task, learners first two write equations representing their purchase of chips and candy bars. They then solve the system of equations to find the price of each item.

Express your wonder at this resource. Middle schoolers solve 10 short problems in the expressions and equations domain. They apply operations with scientific notation, set up and solve equations, and analyze linear equations.

Give your young scholars a chance to show what they've learned from the module. The last installment of a 21-part series is an end-of-module assessment task. It covers basic and conditional probabilities, expected value, and...

Make sure pupils have the skills to move on to the second half of the module with a mid-module assessment task. The formative assessment instrument checks student learning before moving on to the rest of the lessons in the unit.

Which scenario is the better deal? Class members examine nine scenarios to determine which choice offers a better deal. Pupils decide whether they need to find unit costs or total prices to compare the two options.

Representing data is as easy as pie. Class members construct pie charts given a frequency table. Individuals then determine the size of the angles needed for each sector and interpret the size of sectors within the context of frequency....

Which rate is greater and by how much? Pupils continue to compare rates to solve problems in the 20th portion of a 29-part series. Rates are presented in a variety of representations either using the same representation or different...

Gain a little interest in functions with a real-life task. Young scholars analyze home loan data with a geometric sequence and series. They use the models to make predictions about the total loan payments at certain intervals in a...

Students investigate measures of central tendency. They examine compiled data and conduct critical analysis. The graph is focusing on the gross domestic product data. The lesson also reviews the concept of putting values in order of...

Students study the Manduca bug and its growth data. They look for patterns and compare their own growth rate to that of the Manduca.

This teaching tool promotes a practical understanding of basic mathematical skills by having learners determine percents on interest. There are several worksheet options available as well as a guid on how best to use them.

Students design a rectangular box without a lid that has the largest possible volume using the supplied sheet of centimeter graph paper. They work in groups to construct different size boxes to determine the largest possible volume and...

The longer you wait to try the new pizza place, the more it's going to cost you! This real-world problem about how the cost of pizza varies with respect to time is a good example of how piecewise functions are used to describe...

To investigate the price of bananas in order to evaluate basic counting and number sense skills, your mathematicians focus upon multiplication and problem solving that incorporates social studies in the form of building awareness about...

Can a person solve and graph inequalities in one variable? Sounds impossible but it's not! Young mathematicians solve and graph inequalities in algebraic equations. They find a range of possible values for a variable as they solve...

In this vocational worksheet, students respond to 28 questions, rating them from strongly agree to strongly disagree. The questions focus on personal, family, and future considerations.

Young scholars evaluate energy-related purchases. For this consumer awareness lesson, students visit an appliance store and rank the products' cost effectiveness by using a mathematical formula.

How do people pay for college? Learners explore the concept of paying for college, they discuss possible ways to pay for college, research the cost of colleges, room and board, and other college living expenses.

Your friend Phil wants to know if he should play the lottery. Have your class use the given data to compute the expected value and explain to Phil what he should do and why. This handout is ideal for a quick assessment of skill and...
