Find the faster rate. The resource tasks the class to compare proportional relationships represented in different ways. Pupils find the slope of the proportional relationships to determine the constant rates. They then analyze the...

For this motion worksheet, learners compare two graphs showing a bug's distance traveled over time. Students calculate the average speed of the bugs and determine which bug was traveling at a constant speed. This worksheet has 1 short...

In this algebra learning exercise, students identify the graph that goes with-the equation. They solve word problems using graphs. There are 4 problems with an answer key.

In this averages learning exercise, students complete word problems about the averages about grocery bills, hospital stays, graphs, and more. Students complete 10 problems.

In this transit problem worksheet, students read clues about bus stops and their routes.  They determine the time between stops and the shortest path possible.  This one-page worksheet contains 1 multi-step problem.  The...

In this math worksheet, students examine the position of an object and then use the formulas to determine its path over time. Then they apply the information in order to determine the traveling path of an asteroid in space.

In this successive approximations worksheet, students use the Babylonian algorithm to determine the roots of given numbers. They identify the limits of a function, and compute the rate of change in a linear function. This two-page...

Science is exciting - and delicious! Pairs of learners set up a bungee cord type of experiment. They use buckets filled with M & M's, a meter stick, and a Slinky spring (as the bungee) to conduct their experiment. A good activity...

In this similar triangles activity, students use proportions to solve for the missing sides of similar triangles. This two-page activity contains 16 multi-step problems.

My acceleration is downward at 9.8 meters per second squared. That means I'm falling for this physics of motion instructional activity. Once motion has been covered in class, give a instructional activity that offers multiple...

In this velocity worksheet, students determine the average velocity for given situations. They graph the distance traveled, and compute velocity at time intervals. This two-page worksheet contains eleven problems.

In this earthquake worksheet, students determine the distance of the epicenter based on the S-waves and P-waves on a seismograph. This worksheet has 4 problems to solve.

In this energy instructional activity, learners use a data chart comparing the energy used while running and walking to create a graph and complete 2 short answer questions.

During a walk-a-thon your learners must determine the walking rate of Julianna's progress. Using tables, graphs, and an equation, they must be able to calculate the time it took her to walk one mile and predict her distance based on the...

Your mathematician's job is to explore the relationship between hours and miles walked during a walk-a-thon. The activity compels your learners to experiment with different means in finding out this proportional relationship. The answer...

Use the age-old Traveling Salesman Problem to introduce Hamilton circuits to your young travelers. Individuals then plan an efficient route to visit all the places they want to go.

Run like a cheetah. A performance task challenges pupils to solve several different problems involving the speed of a cheetah. Given information for scenarios where the cheetah chases its prey, they determine if the big cat is fast enough.

Serve four towns with one bus route. Pupils develop a bus route that meets certain criteria to serve four towns. They determine which of the routes would best serve all of them. Individuals then hypothesize where a fifth town should be...

What does viscosity have to do with splatter? An activity shows that the viscosity of a substance is inversely proportional to the distance of its splatter. Learners conduct the experiment by collecting data, graphing, and analyzing...

In this math worksheet, students will work in a group to experiment with the weight of objects when placed at a distance from a scale (using a plank). Students will record and graph their results.

In this Algebra I/Algebra II activity, students solve quadratic equations by graphing and by taking the square root of both sides.  The two page activity contains a combination five multiple choice and free response questions. ...

What is the most popular way to get to school? Have learners interview their peers to discover how and when they get to school. Then learners will graph the results. Consider providing statistics from other classes for your older...
