High schoolers explore the proportional relationships involved in multiple parallel lines being cut by a transverse line. They complete a sail design problem, that involves finding the lengths of pieces of fabric along the edge of a sail...

In this chemical reactions worksheet, students review the law of conservation of mass, the principle of definite proportions, and balancing equations. This worksheet has 3 problems to solve.

Students examine how driving a hybrid car can save money and cut down on pollution.  In this hybrid vehicles lesson students complete an exercise that shows them how to work with proportions, percents, dimensional analysis and...

Young scholars calculate the distance they can travel on a tank of gas. In this algebra lesson plan, students use ratio and proportion to solve word problems. They graph their results and discuss their findings with the class.

Students compare the lengths of whales using different lengths of rope. They illustrate one whale in life-size proportion.

Sixth graders examine how different soils are made up of varying proportions of clay, silt, and sand. They compare soil samples, conduct Internet research, and create a model to demonstrate the relative sizes of grains of clay, sand, and...

Eighth graders participate in using algebraic proportional reasoning to find the missing amount that balances on a scale. Substitution is used to discover the missing objects on a scale. They answer multiple choice questions that are...

Learners are told that any object moving through a fluid (air, water, molasses, etc) experience a drag force which oppose the motion. They are given the summarized version of drag which is proportional to the square of the velocity....

Young scholars engage in a lesson in order to create blueprints to design an original floorplan. They use graphing paper and drawing tools to demonstrate knowledge of the lesson objectives. Students label and use the right kind of...

Students investigate the structure of the flower. In this biology lesson plan, students examine the basic anatomy of a flower by means of creating a model and understand the proportional relationships of the various parts illustrated.

Students use Van Gogh’s Portrait of Joseph Roulinas inspiration for their own portraits of friends in the classroom. For this portrait lesson, students analyze the Van Gogh portrait and discuss his techniques. Students discuss facial...

In this concrete girder worksheet, high schoolers use water, sand, cement and gravel to construct concrete girders. Students vary the proportions of the mixtures and label each concrete girder with the mixture's components.

High schoolers explore Italian Renaissance artwork. In this visual arts lesson plan, students examine "Madonna, Saint Thomas Aquinas, and Saint Paul'" by Bernardo Daddi. High schoolers investigate the use of space, scale, and proportion...

Young scholars construct a never-before-seen creature in part of an analysis of societal injustices and discrimination. In this societal issues lesson, students create a creature called a Man-Droid as a study about the differences among...

Student sinvestigate the area and perimeter of polygons. They differentiate between similar and congruent polygons.. They identify the ratio and proportions of the sides and angles of polygons.

In this math challenge activity, students are given a set of proportions needed to answer a set of 10 related questions. Additional information about recycling aluminum cans is given.

In this assessment task, learners determine whether a crown with given information is composed of pure gold. The task expects algebraic and numerical solution methods, so unlike Archimedes, no bathtub is necessary.

Put your learners to the test and see how well they can calculate percentages of numbers. The ten-problem worksheet doesn't specify which method to use to solve, which gives them the freedom to choose. 

Quick resource for those learners who need a guide when finding percentages of a number. Provides one worked-out example and two practice problems that can be used as a handout. 

Big vehicles require some big tires. Given a picture of a flatbed hauling a large tire, scholars discuss and estimate the size of the tire. They then use information and video about the tires to estimate the height of a vehicle that uses...

They appear to be different, yet they are the same line. Part 24 out of 33 lessons provides a theorem about the relationships of coefficients of equivalent linear equations. Pupils use the theorem to determine whether two equations are...

Use some similar problems to find side lengths. Pupils learn the definition of similar figures and how it relates to corresponding angles and sides. Using the definition, individuals calculate the lengths of missing sides and practice...

Graph quadratic functions and find the zero in this worksheet. Twelve problems range from those that could be quickly factored and graphed, to those that require use of the quadratic formula and their graphs approximated. Solutions...

Templates for 41 female croquis (fashion figure outline sketches used for fashion illustration) in a variety of poses are featured in a 15-page packet perfect for fashion designers.
