The Palindrome Order of a Number
For this math worksheet, young scholars list the three-digit order one palindromes. They find as many 4-digit palindromes as they are capable of. Students analyze the first order palindromes. They find as many third order palindromes as...

Relationships Between Two Numerical Variables
Is there another way to view whether the data is linear or not? Class members work alone and in pairs to create scatter plots in order to determine whether there is a linear pattern or not. The exit ticket provides a quick way to...

Floor Pattern
You'll never look at floor tiles the same again. An assessment task prompts learners to investigate relationships between patterns involving squares and kites to determine angle measurements. They then prove whether a given quadrilateral...
