Three days of race car design and driving through the classroom while guessing probability could be a third graders dream. Learn to record car speed, distances traveled, and statistics by using calculation ranges using the mean, median,...

Express dance moves mathematically. Scholars dissect dance routines and express them using mathematical notation, such as translations and rotations. They use video clips to investigate seven different dance genres.

No more inverting and multiplying to divide fractions. Applying concepts of measurement division from the previous lesson, pupils consider partitive division using fraction bars and number lines. They first convert fractions to like...

Determine whether two triangles are similar. The lesson plan presents opportunities for pupils to find the criterion needed to show that two triangles are similar. Scholars use the definition of similarity to find any missing side...

Is it a right triangle or not? Introduce scholars to the converse of the Pythagorean Theorem with a instructional activity that also provides a proof by contradiction of the converse. Pupils use the converse to determine whether...

Explore methods for finding the volume of different three-dimensional figures. The 20th lesson in the 25-part series asks learners to interpret diagrams of 3-D figures and use formulas to determine volume. Scholars must use the...

What is the typical length of a yellow perch? Pupils analyze a histogram of lengths for a sample of yellow perch from the Great Lakes. They determine which measures of center and variability are best to use based upon the shape of the...

In this math worksheet, students answer 6 questions having to do with continuous and differentiable functions, falling bodies, and derivatives.

What do skateboarding and baked goods have in common with math? You can use them to connect half-pipe ramps and cakes to arcs and sectors. Pupils compare the lengths of three different ramp options of a skate park. They calculate the...

Students use bathroom scales, rulers and boards to explore how to measure their own center of gravity.

Students explore liquid measurement. In this liquid measurement lesson, students discover the formulas for conversion. Students are given problems and use the formula to convert the measurements.

Twelfth graders use the Internet to research information on NFL players and construct frequency distributions from the data. They calculate the mean, medium and analyze their data.

Third graders brainstorm a list how they use measurements everyday. Using string, they cut a piece long enough as their height and complete ratios using their arms and legs about old tales about measurements. They compare and contrast...

First graders discover that the ruler is an important source of measurement. In this measurement concepts lesson, 1st graders discuss the function of rulers and practice measuring and recording sizes of objects. They learn a song to...

Students complete measurement activities. In this measurement lesson, students watch online clips about measurements. Students view items and discuss taking measurements of them. Students discuss what units of measurement and equipment...

Students practice math. In this measurement instructional activity, students measure their favorite candy bars to the nearest inch. They work independently to compare the different lengths of the candy bars they measure.

Second graders estimate and measure various classroom objects using an apple as their tool for measuring, and record their measurement results on a data worksheet.

Students calculate the size of a mummy case and its contents using ancient Egyptian measurements.

Learners identify the characteristics of aerosols. Using remote sensing, they participate in an experiment in which they determine how the sun's radiation and elements in the atmosphere interact with one another. They also research the...

In this math worksheet, learners will work in small groups to measure the height of objects, such as trees, using their shadows. Students will be able to determine heights of objects that cannot be directly measured.

Students utilize a balance scale. In this applied science lesson, students compare the weights of two objects using an elementary balance scale. Students balance the scale with weights to find how heavy an object is.

Students use a timeline to measure intervals and calculate the age of works of art.

Students explore math functions by preparing a meal. In this food measurement lesson plan, students examine a recipe for a meal and alter the size of the recipe based upon the amount of servings needed. Students utilize manipulatives to...
