In this time problems worksheet, 8th graders solve and complete 6 different problems that include filling in data and responding to short answer questions about time. First, they determine the number of hours each child in the table...

Learners volunteer their time to clean a local park. They estimate the amount of debris they collect and make observations. They write a poem and draw an illustration about their experience.

Students consider the future of endangered species. In this conservation lesson, students view a slide show and use mathematical data to construct a prediction for the survival of an endangered species. This lesson includes, personal...

These dinosaurs act like math machines as scholars practice their division skills. Each one has a given division function to apply to four incoming dividends. Pupils complete the equations, writing in the quotient for each. There...

Who knows how to operate these multiplication machines? Young mathematicians examine five machines, each with a specific function (i.e. x3) to transform the input numbers to output numbers. They send five numbers through each machine,...

Turn your first graders into adding machines! This is a fun way to practice single-digit addition, and scholars complete 25 equations. Each machine has a function; five numbers go into the machine, are added to, and emerge on the other...

These dragons work as math machines as scholars multiply numbers using given functions, which remain the same for these: double it. Using an example as their guide, learners double three whole numbers, none of which exceed 11, for each...

Fraction models are a great way to help scholars visualize this concept, and they focus on thirds with these practice problems. First, there are five shapes each segmented into three even sections. Learners color in one-third of each,...

Explore fractions visually through segmented shapes. Scholars examine sets of shapes and shade in the given fraction. Each shape is divided into the same number of segments as the denominator of the desired fraction, so beginners aren't...

Explore probability with beginners using these multiple-choice visuals. They determine what they are most likely to choose from a bag by examining the contents. Each bag has three types of similar objects with one more prevalent than the...

Challenge young mathematicians' understanding of squares with this geometry puzzle. The task is simple, identify as many squares as possible in a 3x3 array. Allow learners to work independently or in pairs as they search for squares,...

In this mathematics worksheet, 6th graders use a line graph to illustrate how a measure of data changes and explain their reasoning. Then they use a bar graph to compare pieces of data and a pictograph to compare data.

Young scholars investigate the customs and habits of other cultures by reading letters from a Peace Corps Volunteer.  For this global customs lesson, students discuss how analyzing a culture is similar to analyzing art, no two...

Study order of operations using a peanut butter and jelly sandwich activity as your guide. The class watches you make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich based on a volunteer's instructions. They discuss the importance of following...

Every measuring job requires a tool, but which is the right one? Scholars read four measuring tasks and select the proper tool for each. Next, they switch the exercise by choosing from a list of measuring tasks given a tool. Note there...

Looking for a fun and interactive way to explore bovine biology? Learners read a brief informational text (included for printing) before participating in several cross-curricular activities. First, grab their attention with a hilarious...

Engage your mathematicians with this simple number-quantity game. Working in pairs, using two decks of 44 cards numbered 0-10 with corresponding sets of objects or images, young learners will each flip a card and decide...

Students amaze their friends and families with this human calculator trick. In this algebraic lesson, students use the associative property of addition to act as a human calculator and stump their volunteers. The steps to the trick,...

Second graders watch as volunteers divide large paper M&Ms on the board. They divide M&Ms into groups and write division sentences to show understanding of division concept. They eat M&Ms.

Welcome to the backward world of negative numbers. This introductory lesson teaches young mathematicians that negative numbers are simply the opposite of positive numbers as they use number lines to plot and compare...

Expand your knowledge of exponents with an activity that promotes critical thinking and comparison skills. Middle and high schoolers compare numbers written in expanded and exponential form and explain their strategies for solving...

Celebrate fall with four pumpkin themed hands-on activities! After learning about pumpkins, scholars complete two activity sheets that reinforce estimation and word problems. They then plant pumpkin seeds and bake a pie in...

Where does all your money go? Individuals keep a record of the money they spend over the course of 30 days. They then categorize where they are spending their money and write an essay detailing their findings.

Do you have financial goals? How will you make them happen? Help your pupils answer these questions through this interactive project. They create goals and a plan for reaching them as one of many high school algebra projects.
