All shapes have certain defining attributes that set them apart from others. In order to understand this, young mathematicians look at examples and non-examples of triangles, rectangles, and squares, working as a whole class to create...

Eighth graders determine the square and cube roots of given numbers in this math instructional activity. They determine the missing number in a sequence. Additionally, they calculate the interior and exterior polygon angles.

Go to infinity and beyond and see what a repeating decimal actually looks like as it goes on and on and on and on. The poster uses rational numbers, imperfect squares, and the always popular π.

Sorting fractions, integers, decimals and square roots into sequential order is an active process when you use a gym as your setting. After your class is divided into two groups and provided with number cards, they compete to see who can...

What is a magic vocabulary square? Use this newly popular method of reviewing vocabulary to engage your class. There's some tricky vocabulary in Things Fall Apart; front-load words like impending, impudent, and pacified to ease the...

Learners complete a 24 page unit. They solve expressions by plugging in values, and translate words into algebraic equations. Included are: mixed operations, square roots, exponents and negative numbers. This resource provides a good...

Learners study how shapes can be divided into equal parts, that each part be equal to its counterpart, and combining parts equals one whole. They make the shapes out of modeling clay and take digital pictures of its parts to create an...

A six-question interactive takes mathematicians to Lollipop Land where they manipulate lollipop trees to make equivalent ratios.  Question types include multiple-choice, true or false, and a discussion. 

Five questions—multiple-choice, fill in the blank, and discussion—make up an interactive that challenges scholars to mail a teddy bear using the smallest box possible without squishing it. A box with movable sides allows mathematicians...

In this missing numbers worksheet, students fill in missing numbers is number squares taken from the 1-100 squares. An answer key is given.

Define words with numbers in a fun vocabulary activity. Using words from Hoot by Carl Hiaasen, learners use a grid to match words and their definitions, and to find the magic number that is the same when the numbers are added from...

In this magic squares worksheet, students solve 3 magic squares using negative numbers or a mixture of positive and negative numbers. The squares contain 9 boxes and the numbers that go in the squares are provided.

Students explain what it means to square numbers. They explain what it means to cube numbers. Students define prime numbers using their own language. They are introduced to the problem by playing one game as a class.

Students experience how to illustrate some of the many connections between number and geometry. Through this 2-3 day focus on square numbers and triangular numbers, students make connections among mathematical topics.

In this math worksheet, students explore decimals by examining 12 illustrations. The squares are divided into 10 pieces with a fully shaded square worth 1. Students write the decimal numbers that are represented by the illustrations.

In this missing numbers worksheet, students fill in the squares with missing numbers from one to fifteen. Students write seven number answers.

Obviously, four is the perfect number when you're playing Four Square. Scholars first use multiplication and division to solve a set of problems on the number of balls needed, the number of games, and the number of players required for a...

Does a calculator give you the exact value of the square root of 2? Here, learners must decide if 1.414236 is equal to the square root of 2. They must also explain why the square root of 2 could never be equal to a terminating decimal....
