Measuring Height and Distance Teacher Resources

Young scholars differentiate between similar and congruent triangles. In this geometry instructional activity, students identify the angles of triangles using the similarity theorem. They apply concepts of triangles to the real world.

In this secondary mathematics worksheet, students assess their readiness for the SAT test.  The one page, interactive worksheet contains ten problems.  Solutions are not provided. 

Seventh graders explore the concept of rectangular and triangular prisms. In this rectangular and triangular prism lesson, 7th graders identify various prisms as triangular or rectangular. Students discuss the various shapes of bases...

Students are introduced to two of the four principles of flight: drag and thrust. As the class watches a video on these principles, they utilize ballons, straws and clothepins to simulate what they're seeing in the show. Nice, hands-on...

Fourth graders investigate the relationships between the area and perimeters of squares and rectangles. They calculate the perimeter of rectangles and squares using a formula. Students investigate the relationship between the perimeter...

Students demonstrate what happens when nature takes back land after humans have managed it. They find an area in the schoolyard, and mark it off with a boundary. Students build a simple fence with string and stakes. They put up a sign...

Learners collect evidence to make inferences about a object hidden inside a sealed box. They think critically and logically to raise questions. Students identify questions that can be answered through investigation. They formulate and...

In this college level Calculus worksheet, students use implicit differentiation to find dx/dy or the rate of change.  The two page worksheet contains six problems.  Answers are not included. 

In this Pythagorean Theorem worksheet, students solve seventeen Math Regents Exam questions using the Pythagorean Theorem.  The solutions are provided.

Students calculate the perimeter of shapes. In this geometry lesson, students relate properties of polygons to the real world. They find length, midpoint and slope.

Pupils investigate work and power. In this energy instructional activity, students use the scientific method process to explore how much work and power it takes for a person to climb a stair case.

Eighth graders experiment with M&M's and a cup attached to a spring to to simulate a bungee jump. They graph the results of the experiment and make predictions for continuing the experiment. They determine the "line of best fit."

Students calculate the stride length of a walking or running animal. They use scale models of dinosaurs to calculate the leg and stride length of the animals.

Students solve word problems by using basic geometry. In this geometry lesson, students use geometric formulas to find the perimeter, area, and volume of objects. Students complete a worksheet.

In this math assessment worksheet, students answer 5 multiple choice geometry questions. The assessment is on the fourth grade level.

Eighth graders experiment with Newton's Laws by comparing the falling of different objects with different masses. Students work in teams and rotate through four different stations recording their hypotheses and observations as they go.

Third graders demonstrate that gravity is a force.

Middle schoolers discover the relationship between lens shape and the formation of images in an experiment. They use three different size converging lenses and a diverging lens to calculate and compare the focal length of each. They...

Sixth graders complete activities to determine if they would like to do the dishes on this pay schedule: first night 1 penny, and each night after the amount double.
