Aspiring astronomers solve problems involving mixed units of the same attribute, including time, money, length, and area. They convert large numbers into scientific notation, then compute and compare ratios to explain why drawing...

Young scholarsare introduced to the Pythagorean Theorem by exploring right triangles and the squares built on each side. They apply the Pythagorean Theorem to real-world problems. Students u se informal and nonformal arguments of proof...

Students discover the relationships of the lengths of the sides of right triangles and right triangles using a series of drawings on dot paper. They investigate and solve problems of standard (customary and metric units) and non-standard...

Count and compare numbers and fractions using "greater than" and "less than." Learners count on by 2s and 10s and represent the end number with base ten blocks, counters, and cups. They use circle stickers to illustrate fractions and...

Seventh graders explore estimation, measurement, and probability. Students conduct surveys and create charts & graphs. They study the history of chocolate. Students design their own magazine advertisement or create a script for a...

In this earth and beyond worksheet, students answer short answer questions about the atmosphere, the chemical compounds in Earth's atmosphere. Students visit different websites to conduct research of the discoveries of the scientist who...

Students create projects on Astronomy using math concepts and use of Internet resources.

Students work in groups that are engaged in different activities at different times. They watch the video "Madagascar" and collect data pertaining to the Fish Eagle's arm spam. They work together to perform mathematical computations...

Students use hypsometers to measure tall objects.

Young scholars differentiate between similar and congruent triangles. In this geometry lesson plan, students identify the missing side and angle of a triangle. They identify the different ratio and proportion of the sides of a triangle.

High schoolers differentiate between similar and congruent triangles. In this geometry lesson, students identify the angles of triangles using the similarity theorem. They apply concepts of triangles to the real world.

In need of an all-inclusive seventh grade math resource? Packed full of the topics necessary for Pre-Algebra the packet includes practice problems with different difficulty levels. It works great for any supplemental use needed...

The introduction to the lesson mentions a sailor's limited capacity to store drinking water on his ship. Pupils then set up an overnight experiment to remove freshwater from salt water by distillation. There is a math and map activity to...

Using food as a manipulative is one of the best ways to incorporate hands-on learning in the classroom. This hands-on approach allows young mathematicians to compare, order, and identify fractions with the use of Twizzlers® and...

Students discuss plate tectonics and the layers of the earth's interior. They use eggs as models of the earth and answer questions regarding which part of the egg would represent which part of the earth.

Students practice saying their numbers and identifying the words. They use whole numbers and decimals to practice grouping numbers into different categories. They write the word of the number they are shown.

Identify the length, width, and height of prisms. Critical thinkers calculate the volume of prisms given small amounts of information. They derive the formula given the length, width and height.

Students identify and use properties of similar figures. For this geometry lesson, students use proportions of the sides of triangles to solve triangular relationships. They use soda can as their visuals.

Seventh graders use educational software in order to practice lesson objectives. They define rate and ratio. Students solve distance problems given two variables. They also use a problem solving strategy that can be defended in its usage.

Students determine whether ancient Egyptian drawing was proportional and in perspective by comparing ancient Egyptian drawings, a mummy's x-ray, and contemporary photographs of people.

Middle schoolers examine and compare traits of humans and crocodiles.  In this crocodile instructional activity students use a ratio to estimate the height of a person and compare that to a crocodile. 

Students explore Greek Mythology. In this Greek Mythology unit, students read myths, pantomime vocabulary words, practice research skills, create city-states, and demonstrate knowledge of ratios and proportions. This unit includes many...

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...

Learners construct three-dimensional models of the three pyramids at Giza. They research the building of the pyramids and record the height, base and angle measurements of each pyramid. They create a file of facts regarding the pyramids.
