Learners use cross-multiplication to find the unknown respiration rate of an astronaut. In this multiplication lesson plan, students also use the same process to find missing values in proportions.

In this economics worksheet, students look for the budgets and go through the practical activities of maintaining a monthly expense sheet.

Learners investigate the concepts related to the practice of multiplication facts. They look for number patterns in order to create an algorithm in order to find the correct sequencing of number patterning. The solutions are then...

Learners are familiar with United States currency-dollar and cents. They are asked to compare it with currency of another country. Students explore currencies of various countries using the Internet, video, and hands-on activities. ...

Fifth graders convert kilometers to miles and calculate the range that historical aircraft can travel. They choose destinations by distance that can be traveled without refueling.

Students explore patterns and geometric sequencing. Students devise and use problem solving strategies to explore situations mathematically. Students solve real life problems. They demonstrate, with cardboard pieces, fraction and...

In this integers worksheet, students solve and complete 9 different types of problems. First, they work out the multiplication and division of integers shown. Then, students circle the statements that are true at the bottom of the sheet.

Fourth graders work in co-operative teams of four to complete a puzzle. Each student initially works independently, and then the team jointly puts together the four shapes they have individually made, to complete the puzzle.

Fourth graders using the idea of "how many more squirts" fill a container to develop multiplicative thinking. They also investigate the idea of conservation of volume when working with oddly shaped containers. They attempt to use...

Students solve integer-based problems. They add and subtract integers as well find missing integers. They represent a scenario involving positive and negative integers and solve it.

Students are "given" $25.00 to spend at a restaurant. Using the Internet, they must "order" a complete 4 course meal while staying within their budget.

Students are introduced to mixed expressions and complex fractions. They work through several problems with the instructor and then complete a worksheet.

Students practice with a variety of simple equations involving addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Explanation is followed by each block of equations given to solve. They are set loose to complete additional equations for...

Young scholars explore the concept of Venn Diagrams through word problems. In this Venn Diagram lesson plan, students solve word problems about groups of people using Venn Diagrams. Young scholars use survey results about MySpace and...

Students combine imagination, block manipulation, and computer applets to investigate fractions.

Fifth graders explore fact families. They solve simple math problems. Students determine which mathematical property is used to solve the given problem. They are given five minutes to complete as many mathematical facts as possible.

In this consumer math worksheet, students examine 3 mobile phone package deals with calls and text message charges. Students match the best plan to one of 3 people whose profiles are shown, detailing their typical use. All prices are in...

Learners explore the concept of solving two-step equations. In this solving two-step equations lesson, students watch a short video about solving equations. Learners view a PowerPoint presentation about solving two-step equations....

In this math vocabulary worksheet, students read a set of 15 math related definitions and write the words being defined. A reference web site is included for additional activities. 

Second graders use a number line to practice subtraction.  In this subtraction lesson, 2nd graders use a number line to count backwards.  Students participate in mad math activities and solve problems.

Students pretend they are about to buy their first new car. They must do all the calculations necessary to estimate the cost of purchasing the car. They see that the math they learn in school really does have real-life applications.

Third graders create a box big enough to hold a million dollars. This is a project fun to do near the winter holidays with inexpensive gifts included in the boxes. This hands-on lesson very effectively demonstrates the concept of volume.

Students compute minimum velocity, using square roots.

Eighth graders identify that a ratio is a comparison of two numbers and that a proportion is an equation that equates two ratios. They identify the extremes and means of proportions, as well as the product of the extremes equals the...
