In this rational equation worksheet, students solve 20 equations with a variable in the denominator of one more terms. They also read real-life application problems, write a rational equation to fit the problem and solve the equation....

Students explore the concept of ratios. They observe a website of Trident Gum that gives a real life example of ratios. Students practice ratio problems in three forms. They express ratios as a proportion and solve proportions using...

Learners enhance their oral and written communication skill while preparing their interviewing skills. They create landscape designs using appropriate proportion and plant symbols.

Students estimate relative size and scale of humans, animals, and objects. They verify their estimations through research and measurement and then draw themselves in proportion to other creatures, both larger and smaller, in a selected...

In this function worksheet, young scholars determine the gross price earned per acre of crops planted. They recognize ratios and proportions as they determine the yield of each crop.

In this measurement worksheet, students use liner measure with a provided ruler to determine the distance between objects. Using a map scale, they evaluate the actual distance. Students may use their knowledge of proportions to solve...

In this measurement worksheet, students use a ruler to measure, in inches, the distance of various line segments. Then, using the scale drawing, they determine the actual distance in miles. Students may use their knowledge of proportions...

In this similar triangles learning exercise, students use proportions to solve for the missing sides of similar triangles. This two-page learning exercise contains 16 multi-step problems.

Use ratio and proportions to adjust recipe size. Middle schoolers investigate Australian food and adjust the recipe size for said foods according to the given situation. They then prepare Australian foods.

Examine food choices and the nutritional properties of food groups with this visually appealing whole-class lesson plan. This will take a bit of preparation, but once you do it, you can use the materials for years. Using a food groups...

Rolling dice is a great way for your mathematicians to get a hands-on approach to probabilities. Use the chart to record whether they rolled a six during ten attempts. Calculate results individually (or in small groups) and then record...

Think, question, brainstorm, and make your way through a newsletter full of puzzles and word problems. The resource includes 10 different newsletters, all with interesting problems, to give class members an out-of-the box...

A smorgasbord of functions, this packet has the basics required for your learners to be successful in the land of early algebra. The packet includes solving equations, graphing, evaluating, simplifying and basically everything else...

Hello Algebra! If you're in need of a resource with a books worth of examples and practice problems, this is it. Some topics include linear equations, polynomials and exponents, rational expressions, quadratic equations, and a...

This jumbo worksheet contains everything you need to get through Pre-Algebra. Begin with simple expressions, and end with linear functions and polygons. There are multiple problems for each topic to make sure those skills are set. 

You're safe, when calculating the odds of stealing second base! Learners compare the rate of a runner to the distance the ball travels, in a instructional activity that explores right triangles and measurement. Full of discussion...

Get the best ratio for a good date. The class watches a video where dates are rated based on the ratio of words spoken. Pupils then use the ratios in the video along with other given ratios to find equivalent ratios. Finally, they...

Students use data collected by an astronomer to determine the relationship between the time it takes the planet to orbit the sun and the average radius of the planet's orbit around the sun. Students use trial and error to find the...

Students discover that proportions are made up of equal ratios each containing the same building blocks. They, using the Internet, apply their knowledge of direct relationships and proportions to problems in planetary science.

Students find the constant of proportionality and apply it to a situation. They use the electrical resistance in a wire as a context for finding the constant of proportionality. In addition, they write an explanation and justification of...

The students compare themselves and their shadows to various objects big and small. Students use their data to set up proportions to solve.

Students discover the basics of figure proportion and create oval figures which show the human body in motion. Artists also study the way the body moves and bends. They see that artists study live models and make many sketches or studies...

Students study operations with real numbers using mental computation or paper-and-pencil calculations. They judge the reasonableness of numerical computations and their results. They set up and solve proportions for direct and inverse...

Students change the scale of a work of art using ratios, percentages, and proportions. While this is technically an art lesson, there is quite a bit of mathematics involved in converting to the correct scale.
