For this polygon worksheet, students observe models of polygons. Students must identify the characteristics of polygons such as a rectangle, pentagon, trapezoid, square and rhombus. They determine if the statement naming the polygon is...

In this regrouping practice worksheet, students sharpen their problem solving skills as they use tables or models to solve 6 story problems that require them to regroup.

In this multiplication worksheet, learners use the models in the first two problems to help them multiply the numbers. In all problems, students learn to multiply in any order.

In this exponential worksheet, students solve thirty application problems.  These problems cover compound interest, continuously compounded interest, and exponential growth models.

In this comparing fraction worksheet, students observe models and identify the fractions that the models depict. They compare fractions by determining which fraction is greater, less or equal. All problems are multiple choice.

Science is exciting - and delicious! Pairs of learners set up a bungee cord type of experiment. They use buckets filled with M & M's, a meter stick, and a Slinky spring (as the bungee) to conduct their experiment. A good activity...

Pairs of geometry whizzes work together to determine which of three differently shaped cylinders will have the greatest volume. Pupils cut out the three rectangles embedded in the plan, and tape them together to form a cylinder. From...

Pairs of learners work together in order to simulate how engineers test materials for strength and safety in the real world. They use paper cups and pieces of spaghetti to run strength tests. This excellent worksheet should lead to...

Learners are asked to advise a fuel oil dealer on a possible investment. They must use two different rates to set up an equation and solve to determine how much oil he should sell now to break even after selling the remainder the next...

This problem is sure to get your young mathematicians thinking. The idea sounds simple: one equation, solve it as many ways as you can. This is meant to get at a deeper understanding of solving quadratic equations, including some more...

Help learners understand the concept of unit rate as it is applied to buying beans at a grocery store. The objective is to determine the unit rate in two ways, and then apply each ratio to an additional problem. The attached commentary...

"Fore!" All right, no one really yells this out in miniature golf, but this well-defined activity will have your charges using lots of numbers in their unique design of a miniature golf hole. Included in the activity criteria is the...

Just about every public building that your students are familiar with has an access ramp which complies with ADA requirements. As it turns out, designing such a ramp is an excellent activity to incorporate slope, the Pythagorean Theorem,...

Challenge your class to use their understanding of the engineering design process to design and build a small-scale, off-road prototype for an assistive technology device. Teams select materials to build their scale models, and, using...

Teams use the design process to design, build, and test a model levee to protect the town from a wall of water. A handout provides a price list for the materials learners can use to build their levee within a budget.

It's not so straightforward — lines can model a variety of applications. Pupils experience linear relationships within the context of science, including Hooke's and Ohm's Laws. Class members got a taste of motion and speed from the...

Learners determine the meaning of vocabulary in each of eight sentences and select from three possible sentences that have the same meaning expressed differently. A rigorous way to practice vocabulary; more thought is needed than if you...

Explore astronomy with a lab sheet for fifth grade scientists. After reading a short explanation about the earth's rotation, they solve a word problem about the differences in times across the world. Next, they make a model of the solar...

Work those algebra skills! Learners solve equivalent expressions, compare given expressions, and determine their equivalency. This three-page learning exercise contains twelve multi-step problems. Psst, this would be a perfect unit review.

Young scholars learn that heredity comes down to the flip of a coin with this cross-curricular math and science lesson. Using smiley faces as a model, students toss coins to determine which dominant or recessive traits...

Are the Arctic ice caps really melting out of existence? Junior climatologists examine the statistics of ice decline through four math-based lessons. Each activity incorporates data, climate information, and environmental impact into an...

In this elementary math worksheet, students examine the shaded fraction models and compare them to the value given. Then they answer the 3 questions in the multiple choice format.

In this math worksheet, students solve 6 word problems. These problems are not difficult but some have a tricky question, extra information and some numbers written as words.

In this regression analysis worksheet, 9th graders solve 10 different word problems related to regression analysis. First, they use the information given to find a suitable function to model the data. Then, students use the model to...
