New Horizons began its journey to Pluto in 2006. Ten years later, it continues its mission. In that time, scholars have surely grown, but how much more will they grow by the time New Horizons reaches its destination? Find out with an...

Mix up your lessons with the resource on mixture problems. Scholars use manipulatives to model and solve mixture problems. Individuals then set up both one- and two-variable equations to solve the problems.

Teachers encourage using memory tricks, but do they actually work? Scholars test word association in a short yet engaging activity. They use 10 seconds to memorize as many items as possible and determine if they are more successful if...

To do something to someone or something or not to do something to someone. That is the question. And it is the source of the confusion between lie and lay. The strength of this worksheet is in the clear, cogent explanation for the...

Three activities make up a solar system lesson that features the sun, its light, and the shadows it produces. Scholars step outside to discover the changes shadows make at different times of day, take part in a demonstration of...

Counting is not all it adds up to be — sometimes it involves multiplying. The lesson introduces permutations and combinations as ways of counting, depending upon whether order is important. Pupils learn about factorials and the formulas...

Get learners' minds rotating and reflecting while looking for symmetry. Pupils investigate figures to determine the number of lines of symmetry and if the figure has rotational symmetry. Classmates work together in groups to find out the...

Students use similar triangles and a sight tool to find the height and distance between large objects. In this similar triangles lesson plan, students use a constructed sight tool to measure the distance and height of an object using an...

Students hone in on their skills at reading diagrams.  In this dimensional lesson students collect information on the functions of organs then figure out how all the parts work together. 

Students assemble found natural objects into an artistic arrangement. They photograph their arrangement and Photoshop to enhance their artwork.

Students identify five senses, draw parts of body that relate to each of the senses, hear different sounds in the environment, write those experiences in their journals, and list at least four objects/things that relate to each of the...

In this counting sets of coins worksheet, students, while working with a partner, practice counting coins within five word exercises.

For this function of two variables worksheet, students explore the relationship between the derivatives of a function and the shape of the graph. They determine the maximum and minimum value using optimization. Students find the...

Young mathematicians use fraction names and symbols to describe fractional parts of whole objects or sets of objects. They construct concrete models of fractions, and compare fractional parts of whole objects in a problem situation using...

Three pairs of objects are measured against rows of squares, each of which represents a meter of length. Scholars "measure" the objects based on these units, circling the one that is larger. One thing to note here is that this doesn't...

Counting is much easier when the objects are arranged in groups of 10! This place-value practice sheet helps young mathematicians grasp ones and tens place value through three exercises. First, they complete three missing addend...
