Factors of Numbers from 31 to 65
Finding factors is an integral aspect of multiplication. Although there are two examples here, they don't illustrate the process so you will still need to model this a few times for scholars. First, mathematicians list the factors for...

Factors of Numbers from 1 to 30
Finding factors is an integral skill on the road to fractions and algebra. Scholars write down a factor list for nine numbers up to 30. Next, they examine provided lists and circle the numbers that are factors of eight more numbers, also...

Population Ecology
A complete study of population ecology is covered by this worksheet. Biology or ecology learners answer questions and interpret population graphs. This can be used as the intended guided notes worksheet or assigned as homework.
Science 4 Inquiry
The Ups and Downs of Populations
As the reality of population decline across many species becomes real, pupils learn about the variables related to changes in populations. They complete a simulation of population changes and graph the results, then discuss limiting...
