To take the longest path, go around—or was that go over? Class members measure scale drawings of a cylindrical vase to find the height and diameter. They calculate the actual height and circumference and determine which is larger.  

Building blocks have more uses than simply entertaining children. Young mathematicians calculate the volume of a given cube, and then calculate the volume and surface area of a prism formed from multiple cubes.

Class members are introduced to probability using terms such as impossible, unlikely, likely, and certain. Numbers between zero and one are associated with the descriptions of probability. Pupils find the likelihood of chance experiments...

In this visual thinking word problem worksheet, students use visual imagery to solve a word problem by writing the four steps for solving a word problem to discover how the object will look turned upside down. The students write four...

In this recognizing geometric figures worksheet, students read descriptions, draw, label, and write the names and symbols for basic geometric figures. Students solve thirteen problems.

Children arrange unit cubes, 10-rods, and 100-flats as indicated on the sheet. They write the appropriate digits in place value columns and the whole number on a line. Four practice opportunities plus a single multiple choice test prep...

Learners explore, discover, compare, and contrast arithmetic and geometric sequences in this collaborative, hands-on activity. They build and analyze growing patterns to distinguish which kind of sequence is represented by a set of data...

Explore nonlinear systems through graphs and algebra. High schoolers begin by examining the different types of quadratic functions and their possible intersections. They then use algebraic methods to solve systems containing various...

Analyze functions by decomposing complex functions and composing simple functions. Through a detailed lesson plan, pupils learn the vocabulary and notation related to the composition of functions. Practice includes both evaluating and...

Review the multiple methods of solving quadratic equations through an analysis of the discriminant. Scholars use the discriminant to determine the best solution method and then solve various equations. As a challenge, learners build...

How can shapes help solve literal equations? Scholars first learn to replace variables with shapes to aid in solving literal equations. A worksheet of practice problems helps hone the skill.

Apply systems of inequalities to a real-world problem. Here, scholars learn to graph solutions to systems of linear inequalities. To finish the lesson, they solve a problem involving burgers and cheeseburgers using a system of inequalities.

Score a resource on ratios. Young mathematicians learn about different ways to express ratios. Using sports data, they write statements about the statistics in ratio form.

Here's a perfect way to introduce perfect squares. Individuals color in the diagonals of squares and record observations about patterns. They connect their diagrams to exponents of two and perfect squares.

Young mathematicians extend their knowledge of rational numbers on a number line to graph inequalities by first using number cards to compare rational numbers. They finish by using similar reasoning to graph inequalities on a number line.

In this engineering worksheet, students speak with an engineer, surveyor, or architect in their area about the various occupations in engineering and create a list that explains each. They also draw a floor plan of their home and three...

Scientist work with negative integer exponents all the time. Here, participants will learn how to relate negative exponents to time and to generate equivalent numerical expressions. Learners will apply the properties of integer exponents...

Ask your algebra learners to write an equation that has unit constraints. This commentary talks about the constraints, but does not show them in the equation. It is important that your mathematicians understand that the units apply to...

Learning long division can be an difficult journey for young mathematicians, but this simple skills practice worksheet will help them on their way to fluency.

Give your students a fighting chance at understanding probability. Offering numerous examples that clearly demonstrate basic probability concepts, this resource helps young mathematicians learn how to visualize the...

In this function instructional activity, students describe a function and write six different ways a function may be modeled. This two-page instructional activity contains eight problems.

In this analyzing solutions instructional activity, students use Euler's Method to estimate the value of given functions. They estimate solutions using the piecewise-linear function model and sketch the information onto a graph. This...

In this telling time worksheet, students observe the location of the hands on a clock, and then write the correct time that is modeled. All times depicted are on the hour or the half-hour. There are twelve problems on this worksheet...

In this fraction instructional activity. students observe models of fractions and determine the correct name for the fraction shown. Fractions 1/2 and 1/4 are emphasized. Students circle the correct answer in some problems, and in...
