In this case of the broken eggs worksheet, students put their problem solving skills to use as they solve the 2 puzzles that require them to work with fractions.

In this math puzzle worksheet, students use their problem solving skills to respond to 6 questions that require them to use subtraction.

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.

In this math puzzle worksheet, students put their problem solving skills to work as they use the numbers on the square puzzle tiles to put together a monster face.

In this contrapositive worksheet, students solve 6 multiple choice and short answer problems. Students write the contrapositive of a conditional statement.

Explore the mathematics of the paper snowflake! During the five lessons progressing in complexity from K through 12, pupils use spatial geometry to make predictions. Scholars consider a folded piece of paper with shapes cut out....

If cubism were a religion, would you follow it? Lower-level tasks focus primarily on counting the number cubes in a structure and relating the number to surface area. As learners progress to higher-level tasks, isometric drawings and...

Teach the ins and outs of the cube! A series of five K–12 level activities explore the make-up of the cube. The beginning lessons focus on the vocabulary related to the cube. Later lessons explore the possible nets that describe a cube....

Don't drop the ball on the resource ... drop an egg instead! A teacher-led demonstration has the class consider how to drop eggs into glasses when a tray is in the way. Hint: If you've ever seen a magician pull a tablecloth off a table,...

Find the math in recipes. Young chefs will follow a recipe and investigate the total cost for materials. They measure amounts of food necessary for the recipe and compute the per person cost.

Alkanes contain only single bonds and have no functional groups. Scholars match the properties of six alkanes in a series of four puzzles. Problem solving and logic help cement the concepts with repetition.

Carbon takes on many forms including diamond, graphite, and buckminsterfullerene. Scholars review their knowledge of these three allotropes of carbon as they complete four puzzles. The first acts as a general review, and the other three...

A covalent bond yells at an ionic bond, "Didn't anyone teach you to share?" Four matching puzzles allow pupils to review covalent, ionic, and metallic bonding. They apply logic and problem solving to complete gridlocks including the...

Twenty-one pieces of tagboard can lead your class to a greater understanding of integers when you use them to form a human number line. After creating this math tool, two strategies for adding and subtracting will have your...

You'll C-E-R a difference in classroom achievement after using a helpful lesson. Designed for economics, civics, government, and US history classes, participants practice using the CER model to craft arguments about primary and secondary...

Collect and analyze data. Pupils graph their data and model with it to solve real life problems. They use logic and deductive reasoning to draw conclusions.

Students perform operations with matrices. In this algebra activity, students use cryptography and cryptanalysis to solve problems. They add, subtract, and multiply matrices.

Students use logical arguments and inductive reasoning to make or disprove conjectures. After observing a teacher led demonstration, students discover that the deductive process narrows facts to a few possible conclusions. In groups,...

Students differentiate between exponential growth and decay. In this algebra lesson plan, students solve exponential equations using properties of exponents. They use the Ti calculator to graph and analyze their functions.

Examine data and graph solutions on a coordinate plane with this algebra instructional activity. Young problem-solvers identify the effect of the slope on the steepness of the line. They use the TI to graph and analyze linear equations.

Twelfth graders collect, organize, evaluate and synthesize information from multiple sources in order to draw logical conclusions. They communicate this information using appropriate social studies terminology in oral, written or...

Pupils complete activities to learn notation and uses for positive and negative numbers. In this number system instructional activity, learners play a game similar to Jeopardy to learn how to solve problems with positive and negative...
