Students explore the area of rectangles. They practice finding area by playing an onliine computer activity where they calculate the area of a rectangle to solve a problem.

Learners investigate acoustical ceilings.  In this acoustical ceilings lesson, students construct a blueprint for an acoustical ceiling.  Learners use area and perimeter of rectangles to construct their blueprint. ...

Students determine factors of numbers to 100 and identify prime factors; students differentiate prime and composite numbers by the factors of the numbers.

Eighth graders investigate the concepts and combining them into polynomials. The teacher uses direct instruction for delivery. They can use Algebra to make this lesson hands-on for the benefit of kinesthetic learners.

Students are shown examples of mosaics found on mosques. We discuss background information on Islam and relate it to social studies units. This is also a great unit to integrate math skills.

Students study probability and statistics by conducting an experiment, recording their results, and sharing data with classmates.

In this math worksheet, students take an assessment test of 8 problems related to the construction field of work. Students examine scale drawings and answer questions about area, perimeter and purchasing construction materials.

In this animal instructional activity, 3rd graders study the aspects of the different animal classifications of mammals vs. reptiles. Students cut out 8 animals and paste them on the chart in the correct category.

Sixth graders explore the math concept of probability. In this probability instructional activity, 6th graders examine visual examples of finding probability. Students also practice solving problems that their instructors model.

Students complete activities to learn how to add fractions. In this fractions lesson, students complete a set of prior knowledge questions for fractions. Students then review fraction vocabulary while solving a fraction word problem.

Students investigate linear equations through models. In this algebra lesson, students investigate solving one and two step equations. Review solving a basic equation before starting this assignment.

Learners make pottery in the same evolutionary order as archeology indicates. They begin with simple pinch pots and then move to plain coil pots, manipulative decoration, and surface decoration. For each type of pot they discuss the...

Young scholars use physical models and graphs in order to solve problems that have their origin in the real world that require algebraic thinking. The words are changed into equations and inequalities in order to be solved. This requires...

In this problem solving strategy worksheet, students complete a graphic organizer to help solve a problem. Students complete 4 sections: understand, plan, solve and look back. Houghton Mifflin text referenced.

Students create digital mosaics. In this visual arts lesson, students discover the attributes and history of mosaics in a teacher-led discussion. Students use an educational program to make their own digital mosaics.

Pupils simplify equations and expressions. In this algebra lesson, students add, subtract, multiply and divide as they solve expressions. They relate factoring to solving polynomials.

In this subtraction word problems worksheet, students use subtraction to solve the six word problems. Students then check the problems with addition.

Sixth graders solve for the area and perimeter. In this geometry lesson, 6th graders investigate polygons and use a formula to find the area and perimeter. They find the area and perimeter of various polygons.

In this animals at Chesapeake Bay worksheet, students find out about the animals that live at Chesapeake Bay by completing a word scramble. Students complete 4 word scrambles.

In this Mr. Jones's home improvements instructional activity, 6th graders use the information given, then calculate the materials needed and the cost (in pounds) for the work;  there are 9 word problems.

Students create tessellations. In this geometry activity, students use polygons to create different patterns by rotation. They identify the reasons for polygons to create the type of tessellation it does.

Students create, transform, and critique their own piece of artwork. In doing this activity, students get more experience working with angles, lines, and measurement. They gain experience seeing, and creating their own patterns and shapes.

Fifth graders build models. In this measurement lesson, 5th graders build paper models to represent square centimeters, square inches, square feet, cubic centimeters, cubic inches, cubic feet, and perimeter.

Third graders compare and contrast the attributes of two-dimensional shapes. Using a tetrominoes game, they create two-dimensional shapes to cover up a game board. At the conclusion of the game, 3rd graders discuss the patterns they...
