Young scholars demonstrate how to solve word problems. They will watch the video "Math Can Take You Places" and identify three problem solving strategies.

Connect math with science! Pupils apply properties of Ohms Law as they solve problems and identify the inverse relationship of a function. They analyze the shape of the graph of an inverse function and use it to make predictions.

Often inequalities exist in many real-world contexts but young math learners struggle with understanding how to represent that relationship in a simple equation using an inequality. This activity focuses on the basic concepts by using...

Pupils explore different aspects of credit card use and discover some tools to help them use credit wisely. They listen to a scenario that students might encounter once they "get out into the real world." Pupils are given a copy of a...

Why is spelling important? Develop your class' spelling skills. They examine examples of homonyms, heteronyms, and creative spelling. They also photograph misspellings in the real world in order to discover the importance of spelling...

High schoolers listen to a lecture and complete a number of problems as they go. There are a variety of examples given and they are guided through the problem solving steps for each of the real-world scenarios regarding the purpose of...

In this algebra worksheet, 11th graders rewrite word problems using algebraic symbols. They relate parabolas to the real world and calculate the breaking distance using the distance formula they come up with. There is answer key.

Students solve equations using the quadratic formula. In this quadratic equations lesson, students use digital cameras to film students jumping and import film clips into a computer. Students use the data in the quadratic formula...

Young scholars identify two- and three-dimensional figures and associate them with real-world objects.  In this geometry lesson plan, students are read The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle and complete several activities...

Students are able to identify ordered pairs on coordinate plane, and graph points on a coordinate plane. They are able to write an ordered pair for each of the points on a graph, and create a design or picture using ordered pairs.

Students calculate percentages of different kinds of people in the world. In this diversity lesson plan, students will see the percentages of different people and different incomes based on if the world only had 100 people in it.

For this math applications worksheet, students solve 8 word problems that include basic operations, money, reasoning, and telling time.

Students play the game tag inside the classroom with three or four designated 'taggers'.  In this math game lesson, students have to solve a math problem to be unfrozen once they are tagged.  When the frozen student has...

Students analyze the weather patterns in Namibia. They create a graph of the yearly temperatures and use the internet to gather information. They discuss how the weather goes in cycles in the area.

In this math applications worksheet, learners complete 7 varied problems that include: fractions, estimation, menu math, reasoning, equations and probability.

In this problem solving worksheet, students complete 7problems that include skills in fractions, calculators, money, measurement, calendars and basic operations.

In this math applications learning exercise, learners solve 8 varied problems that include basic operations, geometry, elapsed time, logic and story problems.

Students examine where trigonometry exists outside the classroom. In this trigonometry instructional activity, students create trigonometric functions to match the data provided and to solve word problems relating to the real world.

Students watch a video clips before problem solving the use of angles in real world situations. They problem solve using spatial reasoning while connecting math to a sports activity that investigates the path of a bouncing ball.

Middle schoolers identify and interpret various ways of expressing probability as a decimal, fraction, percent, or ratio. They solve problems based on probability as they apply to real world applications.

Learners are asked to advise a fuel oil dealer on a possible investment. They must use two different rates to set up an equation and solve to determine how much oil he should sell now to break even after selling the remainder the next...

Eighth graders solve real world problems.  In this solving real world problems lesson, 8th graders decorate a school cafeteria for a dance.  Students determine the number of balloons needed to put a balloon every foot for the...

Eighth graders investigate the order of numbers and how they are located on the number line. They also review the symbols used to compare quantities in order to decipher simple expressions and graph them on the numberline.

In this real life math worksheet, students solve 30 problems in which a bus timetable is interpreted and times are converted between the 12 and the 24 hour clock. Language in this worksheet is typical in the UK.
