Young scientists design a rocket to launch using Newton's Laws of Motion in order to discover for themselves the forces of motion. 

Address key vocabulary in the seventh grade Common Core Math Standards with this comprehensive list. A series of word cards is also provided that supports each term with images and examples, making this an excellent tool for teaching the...

Young mathematicians practice measuring acurately with a protractor. They convert measurements using a scale factor, then translate the new information into diagrams. This lesson should be a hit in that it's mostly hands-on work with the...

Students investigate angles through construction. In this geometry lesson, students use a protractor to identify the measurement of an angle. They identify angles cut by a transversal and two parallel lines.

Students devise procedures for using a protractor to measure the number of degrees in an angle. They use inductive reasoning skills to construct their own method for effectively using the protractor to measure angles, as well as, make...

In this math worksheet, students collaborate with a "study buddy" or "coach" to learn whether an angle is acute, obtuse or right. Students follow the directions to go through the process of deciding what classification an angle has....

In this angles worksheet, 7th graders review the definitions for a right angle, acute angle, obtuse angle, and straight angle. Students then use symbols to name each angle three different ways. Students classify each angle as acute,...

In this classifying triangles worksheet, 10th graders solve 6 different problems related to the classification of triangles either by their angles or by their sides. First, they use a protractor and a ruler to draw triangles using the...

Learn ways to simplify algebraic fractions with a video that reviews how to simplify rational expressions by canceling common factors and how to add and subtract simple rational expressions. A worksheet tests pupils' understanding...

Learn how to display data. Young data analysts watch a video to review how to create cumulative frequency histograms and box plots. They work on a set of questions to practice producing these data displays.
