In this maximum and minimum activity, students solve and complete 10 various types of word problems. First, they find the numbers if the product of the square of one of the numbers with the cube of the other number is to be a maximum....

Students construct and maintain a school garden. For this gardening lesson, students plan the construction of the garden by writing letters to local businesses asking for supplies and materials; students build the garden using their math...

Young scholars identify the ratios of different triangles. In this geometry lesson, students identify the similarity and differences of triangles. They use the navigator to move the sides of the triangle around.

Students explore the ways Geometry can help solve probability problems. Students describe platonic solids and practice calculating probability using an online resource. They construct dice with various numbers of sides to demonstrate...

In this algebra worksheet, students manipulate integers to add, subtract, multiply and divide using order of operation. They rewrite word problems and solve for the unknown. There are 24 questions with an answer key.

 In this Integrated Algebra worksheet, students solve problems that reflect the topics covered during the course of work.  The answer key identifies each question by standard and topic.  The twenty-four page worksheet...

Seventh graders determine whether two triangles are congruent and provide an explanation to why they are not. They apply concepts of measurement of angles and collect evidence of congruent angles in the world.

Students practice estiminating and measuring angles. After watching a short video, they identify angles in objects in the classroom and their homes. In groups, they participate in activities in which they are given a scenerio and are...

Second graders explore how to incorporate a new type of technology, the cash register and/or a calculator, as a motivational tool for solving real life problems. They practice estimating money and counting back change from $20.00.

Students conduct their personal investigations into paper airplane flight. Cooperative teams are formed, with students choosing the paper airplane design that they are most interested in building.

Students make fudge after reading fractional values in recipes and finding equivalent fractions to those presented in the recipes. They study measurement abbreviations.

Learners review estimation, measurement, fractions, decimals while familiarizing themselves with a new classroom at the beginning of the year.

Students explore angles and their use in Geometry. Students investigate three different kinds of angles: obtuse, acute, and right angles through an online activity. They identify pairs of angles with special relationships: vertical,...

In this online, interactive learning exercise, students solve ten SAT preparation problems in 12 minutes. The problems vary in difficulty and content.

Eighth graders investigate the Pythagorean Theorem and practice applying the theorem to various triangles. Finally, in the next lesson in the sequence, 8th graders create a song or a story to help them remember the Pythagorean Theorem.

Fourth graders research a Florida fish to determine its length. They display this information on two index cards, which are cut to the shape of the head and the tail and attached to a string that they measure and cut to the correct...

Fourth graders explore the different types of ways to measure the distance between Florida and Japan.

Pupils explore how structural forms adapt to evolving world cultures. In groups, students examine posters from the past and write about the picture. Pupils make predictions about what the picture will look like in the future. Students...
