Fifth and sixth graders use food and candy to help them represent division of fractions and develop algorithms to solve fraction problems. They discuss dividing whole numbers by fractions. Pupils use sticks and chocolate bars to...

Linear or exponential, see if your class can tell the difference. This very basic worksheet looks at different representations including tables of values, graphing, and an equation to assess understanding. This would make a good warm-up...

A mail truck travels the same amount of miles per day. It will be up to your algebra learners to find an equation for this mailman’s truck. One needs a good understanding of rate of change and the initial value for this model. The...

Positioned inside the framework of linear and exponential functions, this lesson is more of an investigation into the effects of changing variables and constants inside an expression. The author takes familiar formulas, those for...

In this Pre-Calculus worksheet, students investigate the process of formulating, solving, and interpreting mathematical models.  The ten page worksheet contains explanation and four solved examples to serve as a guide for the...

Students discover fractions by creating models. In this fractions lesson, students read Give Me Half! by Stuart J. Murphy and view a video about what fractions actually represent. Students divide a square piece of paper a certain amount...

In this algebraic equations worksheet, students read given story problems, translate them into algebraic equations, draw models of the equation, and solve the problem.  This one-page worksheet contains 18 multi-step problems.

Young scholars read the book On the Seashore and complete activities such as reading a book, color and cut out animal cards, model rock making, shell graphing, shell patterns, and more. For this seashell lesson plan, students use...

Students design a working working model of a trebuchet and demonstrate the power of a Class 1 lever. They test their models by throwing grapes the greatest distance and raising and lowering bricks.

Students design, make and appraise a model wheeled vehicle that is capable of carrying a small load. This activity is part of the unit `Wheels in motion'.

In this counting animals worksheet, students tell a joining story about each picture, use counters to model the stories, count, and write the total numbers. Students complete four activities.

Young scholars discover how flight is possible.  In this physics lesson, students investigate the properties of a blimp and gyro-copter, comparing rotating wings and fixed wings of aircraft.  Young scholars create their own...

In this fractions worksheet set, 3rd graders color or shade the given fraction portion of a square that is divided into fourths. They complete 60 examples, and color similar fraction using different portions.

In this rates worksheet, students solve five story (word) problems related to rate and time. In two of the problems students are directed to create a graph of the problem.

In this function worksheet, students read word problems and write functions to solve them. They explore the domain and range of each function. This two-page worksheet contains eight story problems.

In this SIR model worksheet, students use the SIR method to determine the rate of change of people real life problems. They investigate the sequence of people infected with a disease, the number recovered, and the number of susceptible...

Students practice subtracting numbers from one through ten. In this subtraction instructional activity, students use counters and a workmat to complete several subtraction problems on an overhead projector.

High schoolers model factors using tiles and grid paper. They differentiate between prime and composite factor trees. Students illustrate prime factorization using factor trees. They are given 12 tiles or cut-out paper squares. High...

In this numbers worksheet, students solve 6 word problems, using picture models of cubes. Problems are set up using groups of ten.

In this early childhood math practice activity, students show the stories with counters and record the numbers in order to solve 6 subtraction story problems.

Fourth graders solve word problems using a variety of strategies in this worksheet. After reading through the problem, 4th graders have to decide which operation, or operations, to use. This worksheet is part of the Houghton Mifflin math...

In this number and operations worksheet, students solve and complete 3 different sections of one problem that uses the Pythagorean theorem to solve. They use the model illustrated to determine the meaning of the Pythagorean theorem....

Multiplication facts should be more than memory; help scholars understand what happens when they multiply using visual math. They examine three arrays of images and choose the multiplication equation that corresponds numerically. Then,...

Math and M&Ms® go great together when introducing a modeling activity. Allow your learners to simulate population growth and decay of fish in a pond and share their reasoning for the change in fish. With such an impact we have on our...
