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...

Does the size of the bin matter? The resource allows pupils to explore the relationship between the normal curve and histograms. Learners view histograms compared to a normal curve with a set standard deviation. Using the interactive,...

Scholars create and perform experiments attempting to answer Buffon's Coin problem. They discover the relationships between geometry and probability, empirical and theoretical probabilities, and area of a circle and square.

Students draw a ship to scale, and calculate the real life size. They show that measurements on the drawingsare annotated with the distances reported in inches (fractions and decimals), and their real-world equivalents

Students measure distances and report them in fractions, convert fractions to decimals, and multiply decimals.

Students demonstrate measurement and estimation skills. In small groups, they are given a measurement, predict what object in the classroom is equal to that specific measurement, and record their data in a table that includes the...

Learners measure distances and report them in fractions. They convert fractions to decimals and multiply decimals.

Students explore vertical and horizontal measurement of large objects. In pairs, they measure the trunk, crown, and height of a tree, create a graph of their results, and compare their results with their classmates.

Young scholars identify the five main crops of Kansas and crops that are produced in other states. The categorize the types of fruits and seeds of each plant and measure each to compare the length of each.
