Dig deep into a lesson studying volume. Learners view images of a Guatemalan sinkhole that seems too big to be true! Their task is to determine the amount of material needed to fill the hole using information from news articles and videos.

Explore vocabulary related to three-dimensional shapes. An instructional website describes the characteristics of different geometric solids. Learners can use an interactive component to view nets, faces, vertices, and edges of common...

It's amazing the complex figures that can be made using only a few simple shapes. Following a class reading of the children's book Grandfather Tang's Story by Ann Tompert, young mathematicians use sets of tangrams to create models...

Unlock the keys to fluent multiplication with this upper-elementary math lesson. After an introduction to the five properties of multiplication, students match cards with different math problems to posters describing each...

Develop young mathematicians' knowledge of two- and three-dimensional shapes with this geometry workbook. From learning about the classifications of different shapes and figures to calculating their area, perimeter, and volume, this...

Just when a young mathematician starts to feel comfortable turning word problems into linear equations, shake things up and throw inequalities in the mix. This excellent, instructive presentation takes the steps for solving an...

Targeted tool for elementary math students learning to write fractions as decimals. 

What does solving an inequality have in common with solving an equation? Almost everything! A math resource focuses on the one exception. The examples lead learners through the steps of solving an equality when multiplying or...

Let the resource be part of your lesson sequence. Learners work through eight questions given as part of a PowerPoint presentation in the Claim 1 Item Slide Show series. They must come up with functions for contextual situations and...

Transform the thinking of transformations with six sample items that illustrate the first four standards in the eighth grade geometry domain. Items use the coordinate plane to transform figures and analyze the relationship of the figures...

Fifth graders build area models to represent multi-digit multiplication. This lesson is not complete, but having pupils learn first through hands-on experiences builds a solid mathematical foundation.

In this regrouping tens worksheet, learners use math models or draw pictures to help them add the numbers within the problem. Students also learn to regroup numbers in the tens value place by completing the six problems.

Young scholars model spatial relationships using math manipulatives. In this spatial relationships instructional activity, students work with a partner, and either connecting links or linking cubes that are three different colors. They...

Students model solutions with beakers of colored glass or plastic spheres. In this solutions lesson, students use beakers of colored spheres to represent pure substances. They mix the spheres to demosntrate solutions. They discuss...

In this elementary math worksheet, students match the decimal and fraction value using the multiple choice format and with the help of the block model.

Eighth graders explain the development of the atomic model over time. In this chemistry lesson, 8th graders research about the scientists who made a contribution to the atomic theory. They create a three-dimensional model based on their...

For this mental math worksheet, students use mental math methods to solve problems. Students complete 1 addition, 1 multiplication, and 1 subtraction problem using these methods.

In this FOIL method worksheet, students multiply binomials using the FOIL method and the area model.  Students find the area of rectangles to investigate why the FOIL method works.  Worked examples are provided.

Students model inequalities as they solve for the missing variable. In this algebra lesson, students model their inequalities and use it to  identify less than, greater than and applying it to solving for the missing value.

Which ones are equivalent? Scholars examine four fraction models to determine which ones represent the same fraction. This is a great way to help kids with numerators and denominators, as they can physically count the total number of...

Young scholars investigate the concept of integers and how they should occur in the realm of irrational numbers. The instructional activity includes the use of positive and negative integers. The instructional activity is a good...
