n this interactive, students use logic to solve three riddles involving a frog jumping contest and then place the contestants' jumps at the correct points on the number line.
In this interactive, use logic to solve riddles involving a flea-jumping contest. Place each contestant's jump, represented by either a fraction or a decimal in both feet and inches, at the correct point on the vertical number line. Numbers are randomized so that riddles can be solved and fleas placed on the number line multiple times. The accompanying classroom activity includes a fraction/decimal concept review and a response sheet to accompany the online work.
In this interactive, use logic to solve riddles involving a wallaby jumping contest.
In this interactive, use logic to solve riddles involving a wallaby jumping contest. Then, place each contestant's jump -- a fraction, mixed number, or decimal between -5 and +5 -- at the correct point on the number line. Backward jumps are represented by negative numbers and forward jumps by positive numbers. Numbers are randomized so that riddles can be solved and wallabies placed on the number line multiple times. The accompanying classroom activity includes a fraction/decimal concept review and a response sheet to accompany the online work.

As the first engineering design challenge of the unit, students are introduced to the logic for solving a maze. First they observe a blindfolded student volunteer being guided through a classroom maze by the simple verbal instructions of another student. In this demonstration, the blindfolded student represents a robot and the guiding student represents programming commands. Then student groups apply that logic to program LEGO MINDSTORMS(TM) NXT robots to navigate through a maze, first with no sensors, and then with sensors. A PowerPoint® presentation, pre/post quizzes and a worksheet are provided.
Sharpen your logical thinking and see if you can figure out the strategy to get to the target number before the computer.
Excellent interactive challenge working with cube nets to stack them in a specific order. Manipulate the cubes online to solve the problem.
In this enrichment game, the nets for nine solids are displayed. The twist is that each net has been cut into two pieces. The challenge is find the pieces that go together.
Using your reasoning skills and the clues provided, try to figure out who is sitting where at this table of six. Check the solution and see if you are correct. You can choose similar games and math problems on this page, or choose math exercises at a higher or lower level from the left navigation bar. Lots of math fun brought to you by the Millennium Mathematics Project from the University of Cambridge.

NZMaths is a New Zealand teacher resource that provides lesson plans for students in algebra, geometry, measurement, numbers, statistics, logic and reasoning.
Students expand upon their understanding of simple machines with an introduction to compound machines. A compound machine a combination of two or more simple machines can affect work more than its individual components. Engineers who design compound machines aim to benefit society by lessening the amount of work that people exert for even common household tasks. This lesson encourages students to critically think about machine inventions and their role in our lives.
A complete high school Precalculus Concepts course. Includes 'Related Modalities' for each lesson that teach the same concept in different ways. The text materials follows Algebra II and comes before Calculus or Statistics. The content covers most state standards for Analysis, Trigonometry and Linear Algebra as well as the Common Core Standards suggested for a "Fourth Course" in high school.
A free CK-12 account is required to view all materials.
