Young scholars follow the directions on the attached worksheet to construct shapes using Geometer's Sketchpad. To start the lesson, it is suggested that the teacher guide the students through the initial problem. When constructions are...

Second graders measure weight, mass, and capacity. In this measurement lesson plan, 2nd graders model how to measure amounts of liquid by using containers that measure one cup, one pint, and one quart. Students compare the mass of each...

Mathematicians measure intersecting lines-and circles, and create chords. In this geometry lesson plan, students explore interrior and exterior chords created by tangent and secant lines. These segments can be inside the circleor outside...

Students calculate the circumference of a circle. In this geometry lesson, students measure the diameter of a circle using micrometers or calipers. They investigate the relationship of the diameter to that of the value of Pi.

Third graders use the appropriate units of measure when given a list of items to estimate and measure. They work in cooperative groups to locate, estimate, and measure given items using the correct unit of measurement.

Students participate in a paper folding activity that has them create a ruler for measuring to the closest 1/16th of an inch.

Second graders practice measuring the lengths of objects. In this measurement lesson plan, 2nd graders use paper clips to measure objects in the classroom. Students use larger paper clips first and record their answers, then use the...

Students investigate measuring as it relates to the real world. In this geometry lesson, students measure distances as they discuss fractals and how it relates to measuring. They measure both linear and non-linear distances.

Young scholars explore geometry by using computer applications. In this spatial measurement lesson, students discuss the difference between area, weight, volume and other forms of measurement. Young scholars utilize computer applications...

Young scholars observe and solve examples of corresponding angle postulates, alternate interior angle theorems, and exterior and consecutive angles. They complete the Determining Angle Measure With Parallel Lines worksheet.

Sixth graders practice measuring shapes that do not have a common shape. They practice using centimeter grid paper to make the measurements. Students also use estimation skills after measurements are taken.

Fifth graders complete an introduction to the Geometer's Sketchpad software. They explore various beginning functions and practice using required tools. Using the sketchpad, 5th graders measure given angles. They complete follow-up...

Students identify missing sides and angles. In this geometry lesson, students use triangular theorems to identify the missing sides. They use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the different ratios of each side.

Students calculate the measurement of a central angle. In this geometry lesson, students identify properties of circles. They use Cabri software to create and analyze graphs.

Students define keywords that are important to solve problems. In this geometry lesson, students find the arc length and angle of a circle. They convert between radians and degrees.

Third graders measure the speed of sound using scientific investigative techniques.

Eighth graders convert metric measurements.

Students experiment to find out how rain is measured. In this rainfall measurement lesson plan, students experiment to observe the effects of rainfall and how much of it fell.

Young scholars study wind speed and collect wind speed data. In this wind speed lesson, students visit a website to learn about the local wind speed forecast for their week. Young scholars discuss wind and wind speed. Students collect...

Seventh graders solve word problems involving real world situation. In this geometry lesson plan, 7th graders solve problems related to volume. They apply the formulas taught in geometry.

Learners investigate points and angle bisectors. For this geometry lesson, students define angles, bisectors and perpendicular bisectors. They analyze angles and bisectors using Cabri software.

Students measure the area using feet and yard. For this algebra lesson, students draw and manipulate shapes to calculate the area. They measure the relationship of area between the two units.

Students investigate the relationship between metric length measurement and English length measurement units. They watch a demonstration of the use of centimeter and millimeter rulers before practicing using the Ladder technique to...

Students enjoy the excitement in the short story, Cook-A-Doodle-Doo! In this Cook-A-Doodle Doo! lesson plan, students work to tell the difference between fact and fiction, learn vocabulary, and compare and contrast different stories.
