Students prepare to take the GED by reviewing basic math concepts. In this geometry lesson, students review vocabularies such as formula, perimeter, circumference and other important geometric terms. They convert between the English and...

Third graders study the meaning of the digits an any whole numbers with up to 3 decimal places. They order decimals with up to 3 decimal places and perform measuring tasks, using a range of units and scales.

Eighth graders use the data analyzer and motion detector to collect data and measure distances. They create topographic maps drawn to scale of a given setup and relate the concepts to the creation of historical ocean maps.

Learners measure and correlate their foot lengths and body heights, then use this data to estimate height of Laetoli hominids. They use metric measurement and graphing to determine these heights.

Eighth graders measure foot length and hand span in this experiment to determine the ratio. They apply the ratio to determine Shaquille O'Neal's hand span if given his shoe size.

Students practice using measuring techniques by examining bubbles.  In this geometry lesson, students utilize mathematic formulas to discover the circumference and diameter of soap bubbles they blow.  Students practice creating...

Students investigate millipedes. For this math and physics lesson plan, students examine the millipede's physical structure and characteristics by observing its behavior in given activities. Pupils will hypothesize whether they think the...

Students use scientific methods during field and lab investigations. Students collect specimens and make measurements using the metric system. Students describe biotic and abiotic factors in an estuary and design a model.

Twelfth graders use road maps to calculate the distance between two locations. They estimate the cost for fuel and the miles per gallon. They consider other factors such as geography, road conditions, and traffic that may impact the cost.

In this math worksheet, 4th graders complete a quick set of math problems where they first look at two rectangles and find the difference between the two in centimeters. Then, they compare two figures are select which fraction best...

Fourth graders measure the height and arm span of various classmates. They use a spreadsheet to design a graph that shows the class measurements from tallest to shortest in metric and standard systems.

Seventh graders investigate a ratio found in nature and in numerous pieces of artwork throughout history. The instructional activity is cross-curricular and builds a sense of appreciation of design for students.

Third graders describe an amount of turn from a particular position to another using the 'circular' benchmarks of 0, ++, ++, ++, and full turn. Estimation language such as 'just about', 'between', 'not quite', 'just over', and similar...

Young scholars describe safe practice when doing field and lab investigations in a estuary or wetland. They create a model of an estuary and describe their value and function. They participate in field study in which they collect and...

Students build and program a car to drive a specific challenge distance.They must at the end of the lesson, have the car that stops the closest to a challenge distance.

High schoolers explore the formulas for volume of three-dimensional objects. They participate in various activities involving ice cream, ice cream cones, small candies, and gum balls, recording their calculations on a lab sheet.

Learners examine concept of time, and explore difference between analog and digital clocks; students make art project to represent time and create a time-story problem and solution.

Young scholars simulate going to a pizza restaurant, ordering a pizza, and determining whether a small, medium, large, or family size pizza is a "better-buy." Students calculate the price/per/topping and determine whether this price is...

Time to learn about sundials. Scholars see how to build sundials after learning about Earth's rotation and its relation to time. The unit describes several different types of possible sundials, so choose the one that fits your needs — or...

Students will be offered numerous opportunities to further enhance their observational skills as well as the integration of math with their continual exposure to the metric system, measurement, and graphing to represent their data....

In the process of constructing their own "rulers" Students develop a sense of the size of a centimeter and meter. Students select the appropriate "ruler" for the tasks. Finally, 3rd graders calculate the perimeter of objects using...

Students in an occupational health careers classroom review and practice finding temperature using a thermometer. They practice converting Celsius to Fahrenheit and from Fahrenheit to Celsius. They take each other's temperature and...

Sixth graders practice weight conversions in grams. In this conversion instructional activity, 6th graders convert weights from kilograms all the way to milligrams. They complete word problems with grams of rice. 

In this using milliliters and liters worksheet, pupils, working with a partner, problem solve and calculate the answers to six word problems.
