For this math worksheet, students will work in small groups to measure the height of objects, such as trees, using their shadows. Students will be able to determine heights of objects that cannot be directly measured.

Double the dimensions, quadruple the surface area. Pairs build similar prisms and compare the ratios of their surface areas and volumes to the ratio of the heights. Given two similar cones, partners determine the ratios of the lateral...

There are three quick number ordering activities here for your mathematicians. First, they analyze data on the number of three types of pies sold. Scholars choose from four ordered lists the one showing fewest to most sold. Then, they...
