Top off your hot dogs with a little math. Learners view a video on a hot dog eating contest, and then answer questions using estimation. Using a table of hypothetical data, they create algebraic expressions to represent the situation.

Would you work for a penny today? Use this activity to highlight the pattern of increase in an exponential function. Scholars compare two options of being paid: one linear and one exponential. Depending on the number of days worked, they...

Lead your high school class on a journey through the world of symmetry and reflections as you discuss geometric principles. Pupils differentiate between reflections and rotations, explore rotational symmetry, and investigate how to...

Fifth and sixth graders work alone or in pairs to determine the volume of paper boxes of various dimensions. Pupils write ratios of dimensions and volumes.

Exercise those mental math muscles! This worksheet contains 10 addition and 10 subtraction problems which require learners to compute sums or differences in their heads. A quick review at the top of the page provides a strategy based on...

These sequences are missing numbers and require some skip counting to complete. Scholars finish rows of numbers first counting by 1s, then 10s, and finally 100s. Each has three given numbers to get them started, and they fill in five...

These number sequences are quite fun to look at! Beginning counters complete six of them as they say and write in the numbers. They count only by 1s, however some of these move from greatest to least. The highest number here is 20. Once...

Analyze patterns in a circular arrangement. After using a geometric construction to complete a circle, learners use proportional reasoning to make predictions. By determining the length of an arc built from suitcases, they estimate the...

Analyze patterns and build functions. Young scholars work on their modeling skills with an inquiry-based lesson. After watching a video presentation of the problem, they write functions and make predictions.

First there was pi and now there's e. A discovery-based lesson plan helps learners find a pattern in compound interest as the compounding period changes. Their investigation results in the discovery of the number e. The lesson plan is...

How many birthdays do leap year babies have in a lifetime? Learners explore the question among others in a lesson focused on different calendar systems. Given explanations of the Julian, Gregorian, and Martian calendars, individuals use...

Introduce line plots, show examples of tables, graphing on a number line, and engage in a class discussion. Share the process by which statistical data is organized and displayed on a number line. Examples and worksheets are included....

You've heard that it is true, but can you prove it? Scholars learn the Pythagorean Theorem through proof. After an overview of proofs of the theorem, learners apply it to prove triangles are right and to problem solve. This is the second...

How many total tiles does it take to tile a table top? Learners apply geometric concepts to determine the number of tiles needed for a specific square table top, and then use the result to create expressions for the number of tiles...

For this terms in a sequence worksheet, students solve and complete 32 various types of problems. First, they simplify each of the equations listed. Then, students find the number of arrangements found using the information given. They...

In this algebra worksheet, students find the next number in the sequence and calculate the formula for the sequence. There are 23 questions.

Use a nine-page evaluation to cover material from algebra, geometry, and algebra II. It incorporates short answer, applied reasoning, and conversion problems. 

Ninth graders examine mathematical patterns. In this algebra instructional activity, 9th graders collaborate to think outside the box and share solutions to problems they have encountered. Students use popsicle sticks to solve various...

Students investigate the relationship between odd and even numbers. For this odd and even relationship lesson, students draw pictures to help increase understanding.

In these skip counting worksheets, students will complete the counting patterns by counting by 2's. For each number pattern, students must count by 2's a total of 8 consecutive times.

In this math patterns worksheet, students use their problem solving skills to solve 6 problems that require them to complete messages by finding patterns.

Fourth graders use inductive reasoning to find algebraic patterns in geometric figures. They use technology (i.e., calculators, computers) and manipulatives to discover number patterns involving geometric concepts. They solve concrete...

Students explore patterns.  In this patterns geometry lesson, students identify and extend patterns including body parts, movement, geometric shapes, noises, and footprints.  Students create and share an original pattern.

In this multiplication instructional activity, students use mental math to solve 12 multiplication problems.  Students find the product of 1 or 2 digit numbers multiplied by 2 or 3 digit numbers.  Students use the...
