Pupils use measurement tools to measure the nearest 16th of an inch. They connect fractions and their decimal equivalents and compare this with other decimals. Finally, the class uses algebraic concepts and formulas to solve problems.

Students make their own puzzle grid that illustrates the number of sit-ups students in a gym class did in one minute, then they make a histogram for this same data. Then they title their graph and label the scales and axes and graph the...

In this data analysis worksheet, students solve five questions by finding the mode and median of each set of numbers. On the second page, students find the mean of six sets of numbers. On the third page, students find the mode, median,...

A good explanation for blossoming mathematicians, this video explains the difference between average and central tendency, as well as arithmetic mean, median, and mode. Those who haven't grasped these concepts in algebra or those who are...

Middle schoolers construct a basic cylinder out of a piece of paper, then answer seven questions about their cylinder. Questions have to do with measurement, volume, radius, etc.

Color tiles are used to model perfect squares. Alone or in pairs, middle schoolers will find patterns. Afterward, the relationship between perfect squares and roots will be discussed as a whole class.
