Students practice the Request-Response-Result problem solving technique. They explore how and when it should be used.

In this math worksheet, students compare the expressions using the box method for graphing and the number sentence for each.

Students, after discussing story detail, make a list of information needed to solve a problem, convert units of time, and discuss the steps to convert units of time.

Students create a template for a quality graph. They graph from scratch to match these criteria. They evaluate, in writing, the data represented in their newly created graph.

Students create Post-It note fundamental regions to tesselate. They make tesselations using computer software or websites. They create a jacket design with tesselation and determine the cost of production.

Students examine charts to answer questions. They develop their own database.

Twelfth graders use road maps to calculate the distance between two locations. They estimate the cost for fuel and the miles per gallon. They consider other factors such as geography, road conditions, and traffic that may impact the cost.

Students make a rocket out of paper. They follow the given instructions and test to see if it will fly. They write about the experiment and are given the opportunity to change their varibles to make their rocket work.

Fifth graders are introduced to the topic of means. Calculating the mean, mode and median, they describe what each set of numbers tell and do not tell about the data. They use a line graph to practice finding the mean. They also use...

Third graders create Powerpoint templates of pictures they have taken. Using both standard and metrric measurement units, they describe what units of measurement they would use for each object. In the computer lab, they work in pairs to...
