Students construct a rocket from a balloon propelled along a guide string. They use this model to learn about Newton's three laws of motion, examining the effect of different forces on the motion of the rocket. They measure the distance...

Learners discover a method for determining the slope of a line by creating and comparing similar triangles. They fold coordinate grids to make three similar triangles then measure the sides to compare the relationships between the...

Students employ simple measuring and weaving techniques. Then they experiment with the negative and positive space of a cutout. Students also follow directions to complete a multi-step process that results in an attractive holiday...

Learners follow directions to complete a multi-step process that results in an attractive holiday decoration. In this Christmas art activity lesson, students employ simple measuring and weaving techniques and experiment with the negative...

A bouncing ball serves as more than entertainment when learning to apply quadratic functions to real-world events. This is the second of a two-part lesson, which can also be accessed from the website. The instructions say to measure the...

Take a central look at data. The differentiated lesson provides activities for pupils to calculate central tendencies. Scholars begin choosing three central tendency activities from a Tic-Tac-Toe board. Learners then choose from sports,...

Jump at the chance to use this resource. A kinesthetic activity has classmates jumping in several different ways (standing, single-step, and multiple-step jumps) to create handprints on poster paper taped to the wall. They measure the...

Congruent figures: two figures that want to be just like each other. Individuals learn to distinguish between figures that are congruent and those that are not. Measuring the lengths of line segments and angles helps in this endeavor.

Learning about proportions through measuring and mapping distances is the focus of this real-world math lesson that doubles as an activity. Mathematicians complete a course designed to measure and map locations in order to put the...

Identify appropriate abbreviations, food-measurement terminology, techniques, equivalents, and calculate recipe-size adjustments and demonstrate proper measuring techniques. Identify abbreviations Compute equivalents Identify measuring...

Students investigate measurement conversions using a visual demonstration.  In this mathematics conversions lesson plan, students create an image of a plastic gallon jug using a paint software program.  Students utilize the jug...

Students explore how water shortage affects everyday life. In this social justice activity, students discuss information about water shortage in Ghana. A water shortage simulation/game is played in which a "Canadian" team starts with a...

Students solve the area for parallelograms,squares, rectangles, trapezoids, and triangles. In this geometry lesson, students compare and contrast two dimensional shapes and apply their properties to solving real life scenarios. This is a...

Third graders review formulas for area and perimeter in quadrilaterals. They arrange pre-cut twine on a centimeter graph paper to create non-congruent quadrilaterals. They calculate the perimeter and area of each form.

First graders complete activities with the story One Monday Morning in the Macmillan/McGraw Hill Textbook. In this data lesson, 1st graders read the story and gather data to create a picture graph. They read the graph and answer...

First graders conduct a poll about how people like their eggs. In this graphing lesson, 1st graders collect data about how they like their eggs. Students use a picture of themselves to place under the type of egg they like. Students then...

In this rates and unit price worksheet, students problem solve and calculate the answers to ten word problems and mathematical equations dealing with ratios, proportion and missing values.

Students consturct cube trains and use them to measure the length of selected objects in their classroom. They first "guess" with their eyes and then hold up a cube to check their guess.

Sixth graders investigate triangles and the inequality theorem. They will collaborate in groups to determine the length of a longest side of a triangle. Then relate the size of the triangle to its angles using protractors, yard sticks,...

Upper elementary and middle schoolers describe the various features of unit cubes, such as edges, corners, and faces. They also discuss how to represent measurements of a cube using exponents before engaging in various thinking and...

Upper grade and middle schoolers discuss their favorite TV programs, music, books, etc. Following a lesson on measures of central tendency, learners discuss random sampling. They conduct a survey and use charts and frequency tables to...

In this trigonometric ratio worksheet, young scholars determine the length of a side of a right triangle, or the measurement of angles using trigonometric ratios. This one-page worksheet contains 24 problems. Answers are provided at the...
