The class gets to practice being a mathematician in ancient Greece, performing geometric application problems in the way of Eratosthenes. After following the steps of the great mathematicians, they then compare the (surprisingly...

Students recognize coins are worth a fraction of a dollar. They represent the value of different coins by shading in their equivalent fractional parts in the circle. They understand that fractions are part of a whole.

Students investigate the area and circumference of a circle. In this geometry lesson, students estimate and measure the radius, diameter and circumference of a circle. This assignment has an online part that is interactive.

In this fraction worksheet, students read about fractions, numerators and denominators. They are also shown how a fraction can be depicted as shaded parts of a whole shape. They then solve the 9 problems in which they answer questions...

In this problem solving worksheet, learners write a fraction for the parts of 4 sets of shapes and answer 1 word problem involving a set of fractions.

A good mix of Pre-Algebra problems, learners tackle everything from proportions and equations, to polygons and circles. The sections are broken up by topic with a list of the skills that are required to complete the questions. 

Here is a unique configuration station worksheet which invites learners to complete thirty questions involving a variety of activities with the eight parts of speech and grammar rules.

For this geometry review worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 33 different problems that include identifying various geometric figures and parts of a circle. First, they find the radius of each circle given its diameter. Then,...

Create trigonometric functions from circles. The first lesson of the module begins by finding coordinates along a circular path created by a Ferris Wheel. As the lessons progress, pupils graph trigonometric functions and relate them to...

Have your class construct an adverb wheel. Learners brainstorm adverbs to modify the verbs they use to describe how they will eat a doughnut hole. They then use the wheel to help them write creative sentences.

Homophones take center stage in this engaging, interactive slide show. Students see that homophones are words that sound the same, but are spelled differently and have different meanings. They consider 20 slides which have sentences with...

Put young grammarians to the test with an activity about adverbs. A five-paragraph passage prompts kids to find the adverbs and circle them, noting their purpose in context.
