Sixth graders translate sports vocabulary words from English to Spanish and complete money problems containing decimals. In this money and sports lesson plan, 6th graders use words to communicate to each other.

Students create, transform, and critique their own piece of artwork. In doing this lesson, students get more experience working with angles, lines, and measurement. They gain experience seeing, and creating their own patterns and shapes.

Students collect data, graph it, and use the data to find measures of central tendencies, and find probabilities.

Students describe importance of fractions in everyday life by identifying equivalent fractions and manipulating pizza pieces to show examples of equivalent fractions, and demonstrate knowledge of how whole can be divided into equal-sized...

Young scholars measure the circumference of a cylinder. In this cylinder lesson plan, students use round container lids and flexible rectangles to measure the circumference of the cylinder. They put the shapes together to make their own...

Students explore the concept of scale and ratio.  In this scale and ratio lesson, students work in groups to measure a given space such as a hallway, office, or gym.  Students measure their area using a meter stick. ...

Pupils confirm the law of conservation of matter by weighing chewing gum before and after it is chewed.

Students measure the heights of their fellow classmates and create a box and whisker plot to display the data. In this measurement lesson plan, students analyze the data and record results.

Students estimate and measure exact. In this geometry instructional activity, students create different object in three-dimensional pattern. They use SketchUp to create their shape and perform measurements on their shapes.

Students use estimation and measurement skills to make predictions and solve problems about length. They also analyze data presented to calculate ratios and percents.

Sixth graders investigate surface area.  In this surface area lesson, 6th graders design a box of candy that has a volume of 30 cubic inches.  Students are trying to minimize surface area while keeping volume constant. ...

Pupils participate in a simulation of a parachute-jump competition by making paper parachutes and then dropping them towards a target on the floor. They measure the distance from the point where the paper parachute lands compared to the...

Students define the terms polygon and perimeter to begin the lesson. Using a calculator, they practice determining the perimeter of various symbols in a painting. They discuss how geometry and art are related to one another.

For this math worksheet, students examine the order of the data set and create six different stem and leaf tables. The stem is the place value of ten and the leaf is the ones place.

Students investigate geometric shapes by creating figures on a plane. In this polygon lesson, students complete a worksheet based on the angles in a power polygon. Students identify the different types of polygons and define their...

Students pick a tree they see everyday. They measure the tree's circumference and estimate its height using similar triangles. Students are introduced to Computational Science. They use computers and calculators to compute values...

Sixth graders explore the concept of mean, median, mode, and range. In this mean, median, mode, and range lesson, 6th graders work in groups to find the mean, median, mode, and range of their heights, distance from home to school, time...

Sixth graders explore different polygons. In this polygon lesson, 6th graders examine a rhombus, quadrilateral, parallelogram, and rectangles. Students compare and contrast polygons and research shapes on the Internet.

Students identify the different steps in the scientific method. In this inquiry lesson, students determine the mass of the gum after chewing it for sometime. They explain what happens to the lost mass.

Sixth graders identify, compare and interpret the characteristics of polygons and angles in order to meet spatial sense, geometry and measurement standards. They also sort shapes into three categories, polygons (regular and irregular)...

Students jog at the beginning of the class while learning about the Appalachian Trail. They integrate math into the lesson by adding up how many miles they have run, and comparing it to distances on a real trail map.

Students explore which fractions are made real in our world. They also show the relationship of cross multiplication and equivalent fractions To reinforce fraction skills.

Students develop an appreciation for complex structures in nature. They observe patterns in nature in relationship to the Real World. Students use observation skills to assist in problem solving. They show comprehension of the concepts...

Sixth graders discover what circumference is.  In this measurement lesson, 6th graders identify the radius and diameter of different circles. Students discover how to find the area of a circle using the radius and diameter.
