Slow and steady wins the race? In the assessment task, scholars calculate the rates at which different snails travel in order to find the fastest snail. Hopefully, your class will move much more quickly in finishing the task!

Pupils will analyze scales as related to models and real life in this geometry lesson. They work together to compare the dimensions on a model as compared to the real building.

Mathematicians compare triangles at different scales. In this geometry lesson plan, high schoolers calculate the area and perimeter of triangles. They use the Ti to make observation of the change that takes place as the triangles are...

You don't have to be a Minecraft wiz to know that this app has great playability for your learners! As afterschool programs and classroom projects around the world demonstrate, this game goes well beyond placing blocks and traditional...

Third graders practice measuring different objects. They discover the concepts of ratio and proportion and practice converting numbers into the correct unit. They read stories as well to help them with the concepts.

Students investigate currency and exchange rates.  In the middle school mathematics lesson, students use ratio and proportion to convert from Australian currency to the U.S. dollar and vice verse.  Students create their own...

Third graders model the tag and recapture of bears and use proportions to estimate the population of the bears in their forest. This is a statistical sampling method used by scientists and naturalists to determine population numbers.

In this similar figures worksheet, students find the missing side of the larger figure when the smaller figure's sides are given. Students complete 4 problems.

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.

Students explore the concept of similarity and congruence. For this similarity and congruence lesson, students identify and verify whether or not two figures are similar, congruent, or neither. Students use postulates and theorems such...

Students explore the concept of similarity and congruence. In this similarity and congruence lesson, students cut out strips of paper and form a triangle. Students try to prove that their triangles are congruent using the SSS theorem of...

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.

Young scholars use the human body as a foundation for gaining practice in measuring angles and calculating ratios and proportions.

Students practice how to calculate volume using mummy cases. They measure using ancient Egyptian, U.S., and metric systems. They explore how to convert measurements into different systems, and discuss ratios.

Sixth graders practice the conversion of percents and fractions. They focus on the fact of both fractions and percents are part of a whole. In the independent practice the students also work with solving proportions.

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...

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...

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...

Learners estimate the total number of species in Ecuador using the capture/recapture method. They collect data about each species and act as members of a science expedition to determine the total number of species by using mathematical...

Designers measure their own rooms and produce a scale drawing. They use the Internet to visit sites to find the costs of purchasing new carpet, paint, or anything else they would like to add to their room. Using a $1500 budget, they will...

Upper graders will solve equations using order of operations, and create equations that to play a fun math bowling game. They will bowl using dice to practice operations. Extensions are also included.

Pupils determine the theoretical probability of winning a game of marbles. Individuals compare the theoretical probability to experimental probability for the same game. They continue on to compare two different probability games.
