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

Students share their knowledge about aluminum and aluminum recycling by sharing the information with the rest of the community.

Learners develop an intuitive definition for symmetry after viewing a PBS video. They examine asymmetrical patterns and demonstrate their knowledge by changing them to symmytrical.

Students multiply decimals and/or mixed numbers. They explore the effects of multiplying decimals and mixed numbers. They practice estimating answers when a number is multiplied by a decimal or mixed number.

Students examine the concept of perimeter. Students calculate the perimeter of a random shape on a grid. Students develop a better understanding of the concept of perimeter. Students calculate the perimeter of shapes.

Students explore the concepts of length, perimeter and area. Students develop an understanding of length, perimeter, and area. Students calculate the area and perimeter of random shapes and calculate the area and perimeter of a triangle...

Students explore tessellations as well as various types of polygon. Students examine tessellating patterns in the world around them. Students examine tessellations by creating their own tessellations and completing the included worksheet.

Students examine tessellations and their geometric properties. Students explore the concept of tessellations and lines, planes, angles, and polygons. Students experiment with the area and perimeter of polygons. Students analyze...

Learners study Pascal's triangle. They construct their own version of Pascal's triangle, and relate some of the uses for it. While working through this process, students practice their integer multiplication and division skills.

Students see how division is used to help solve probability problems. They use tables as data structures where they are used to count outcomes and to compute probabilities. Students use games to help solve probability problems.

Young scholars determine the probability of drawing coins from each of the three United States Mints. They measure the distance between the Mints and determine which is closest to them. They convert fractions to percentages.
