The Clumsy Tiler N (Metric)
Students explore patterns and geometric sequencing. Students devise and use problem solving strategies to explore situations mathematically. Students solve real life problems. They demonstrate, with cardboard pieces, fraction and...
Curated OER
Smile Metric Style
Students practice working with the metric system. Students use a metric ruler to measure and record lengths of group member's smiles, and graph their results. Students find the sum of all the smiles.
Curated OER
Inching Our Way Into The Metric System
Students investigate the Metric System. They discuss the history of the Metric System, convert various units of measurement into the Metric System, and solve problems on a spreadsheet.

Making The Height
Twelfth graders apply estimation techniques to determine how high any one basketball player can jump.
Curated OER
Metric Equivalents
Students use a shortcut method to change one metric unit to another (Ex: kilometers to centimeters), by using a diagram which uses words students can relate and remember.
Curated OER
Smile Metric Style
Pupils measure the length of student smiles and then record, order and graph their results.

Let's Graph It!
Young scholars graph the height of others in centimeters and inches, find the slope of line in order to calculate the conversion factor between centimeters and inches.
Curated OER
How Much Gift Wrap Do I Need?
Students estimate the area of boxes using centimeter cubes. They find the actual area and compare it to the estimates.

The Shadow Knows - Measuring Other Students
Eighth graders measure height and shadow length of other students on a sunny day and develop a ratio. They apply the ratio to other students and objects using shadows to determine height.
Curated OER
Wall Weight
Eighth graders calculate the weight of a limestone block in metric and U.S. customary measurements. Make inferences by applying measurable ratios to known data.
