Linear measurement is the focus of this math lesson. Youngsters work in groups to build towers with blocks. They build towers represented on index cards and determine how many blocks taller one tower is.

Leave no student behind with this differentiated geometry unit on perimeter and area. Over the course of five lessons, young mathematicians explore these foundational concepts through a series of self-selected hands-on activities and...

Seventh graders discuss the elements of maps and using basic linear measurement. They calculate the distance between the cities and create a simulated journey around New Mexico using a road map. They write out the directions for their...

Students build their own nation in groups where they create a name, flag, declaration of independence, form of government, mathematical layout, and more. For this nation lesson plan, students also provide a scale drawing of their nation...

Students complete worksheets where they calculate the perimeter of polygons. In this perimeter of polygons lesson plan, students divide complex shapes into simple shapes to find the perimeter.

Students investigate magnetic permeability and saturation. In this physics lesson plan, students explain how current carrying wire coils create magnetic forces. They interpret normal magnetization curves.

Learners learn the difference between perimeter and area by watching a video and a hands on activity.

Young scholars, individually and in groups, utilize Internet sites to access maps, scales, and information to assist them in calculating distances. They research modes of travel from their homes to Nagano, Japan, and write a travel...
