A resource that makes for excellent group work as students explore the area and perimeter of different complex designs made up of squares and circles. The commentary gives a clear definition of perimeter, but suggests that group members...

Scholars learn how to determine the area of compound shapes by finding the areas of the basic shapes that make it up. Pupils find the areas by adding areas together or subtracting them.

Viewers use a small, dimmed flashlight to identify the blind spot for both the right and left eye. It is a simple activity to incorporate into your activities during a lesson on vision and the structure and function of the eyeball.

Solids come in many shapes and sizes. Using geometry, scholars create two-dimensional cross-sections of various three-dimensional objects. They develop the lesson further by finding the volume of solids. The module then shifts...

Whether you're battling the flu or trying to warm up on a chilly day, your body's ability to react to temperature change is fascinating! Anatomy scholars discover the fantastic feedback loops that control body temperature in a rigorous...

Students discover how bison were hunted by the Native Americans and compare it to the buffalo. Using construction paper, they trace a bison outline given to them and use coffee grounds to fill in the space where the fur would be. They...

In this transformation learning exercise, students find the linear transformation of equations and use the Mobius transformation to identify image boundaries. Students describe the images in each quadrant. This two page learning exercise...

In this area worksheet, students solve for the area of rectangles, parallelograms, triangles, trapezoids, kites, regular polygons, circles, and surface area.  The worksheets is divided into seven different sets of problems.

Students participate in a game in which they compare fractions and graph the fractions.

In this math worksheet, students solve 14 problems in which they calculate the diameter, radius, circumference and area of circles. There are no examples or formulas provided on this page; prior knowledge is assumed.

In this SAT Practice Test, students solve a variety of problems that range from solving for a variable, rate, probability, and area.

In this algebra worksheet, students identify the property being used in each problem. They plot numbers on a number line. There are 30 questions.

In this online math learning exercise, high schoolers consider a variety of scenarios which include elements of geometry and probability. This excellent resource allows the students to check their answers, and to get "hints" should they...

Students test the hypotheses using p values. In this statistics lesson, students define and examine conditional probability. They test each statement for a true statement or a false statement, based on the sample size.

Pupils become familiar with fractions, and have a meaningful experience to relate them to. They write fractions, and identify numerators and denominators.

Introduce elementary students, grades 3-5 to the concept of equivalent fractions. Each student folds a paper in half and color one of the equal parts of the paper. They use this paper to define numerator, denominator and the idea that a...

Students examine patterns of food producing areas, and identify foods that are grown locally, in the U.S., and around the world. They map and graph the major food crops of their local area, the U.S., and other countries, and discuss the...

Atmosphere aces investigate the microclimates that exist within a larger area. They use a thermometer to record temperature variations and identify microclimates on a map they have drawn. This exercise helps them to understand that...

Students calculate the volume of solids. In this calculus lesson, students apply the Disk and Washer Method to solve for the volume of three dimensional objects. They calculate the volume caused by rotation that create...

In this area and probability worksheet, students solve 5 problems where they find the probability of an event occurring. They also use a given photograph of the moon's surface to find the area covered by craters and determine the...

Students read the story "Weslandia" by Paul Fleischman, define the term microclimate, gather and record data in various places on school grounds to establish the presence of difference microclimates, analyze and compare microclimates,...

Students study the biodiversity of animal life in a pond. They investigate the interdependence between pond organisms by completing a pond dipping activity and completing a checklist.

Young scholars identify the processes that shape our rivers and form our lakes. They participate in hands-on and multimedia activities as they discover and apply the river-cutting processes of water.

Students conduct Internet research to compare the impact of increasing populations and how it affects air pollution in both, the USA and Russia. Students present their finding in a creative manner by developing brochures, bumper...
