Flying with Fractions

The fourth installment of a five-part unit has young engineers designing and testing hoop gliders. They adjust the ratio of the front loop and back loop of the glider to determine the best design for the longest flight.

In this problem solving worksheet, students read and solve 20 word problems. The problems will require reading a short paragraph each, but use basic operations to solve. Fractions are included here.

Congratulations, you've just hit the word problem jackpot! Covering an incredible range of topics from integers and fractions, to percents, geometry, and much more, this collection of worksheets will keep young mathematicians busy...

In this word problems worksheet, students complete word problems containing decimals, fractions, and money. Students complete 20 problems.

Middle schoolers draw cross sections of given contour maps. In this math lesson, students interpret the different symbols used in the map. They determine slope and steepness through direct measurement.

There are a lot of steps in this problem. But just like walking up a flight of stairs, you should take one step at a time, so too in the solving of this problem. The instructor explains each step and what to do to move to the next one.

middle schoolers are the opportunity to enhance their computation skills using real life statistics associated with the Space Shuttle. Skills emphasized include working with fractions, decimals, percents, ratios and proportions,...

Students gain knowledge by measuring time and distance for solving unknowns in an equation. They also will design an airplane and chance to communicate mathematically by writing essays.
