How do You Stack Up? Revisited
Students estimate the thickness of coins. In this stack up lesson, students stack pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters. They calculate and record the thickness of each coin. Students stack coins and estimate the height of the stack.

Developing Formulas for Circles and Regular Polygons
Formulas and procedures for finding the area and circumference are not provided on this handout, so it will be best used as a practice of already-acquired skills. It is a well-rounded assignment, however, as it includes diagrams,...

Flip a Coin
Students are introduced to the concept of probability. In groups, they make a prediction about how many times a coin might show heads or tails when flipped. They carry out the experiment and record their results to compare it to their...

Surface Tension On Coins
Students drop water onto clean coins to determine the tension of each coin and then to graph their findings.

2 X 2 Linear Systems
Young scholars solve 2 X 2 systems graphically and algebraically. They investigate parallel systems. They solve application problems using 2 X 2 systems.

2 x 2 Linear Systems
Students graph 2x2 systems and solve them algebraically. They investigate parallel systems by solving equations.

Take a Dip: Sticky Water
Students complete lab activities to investigate the "sticky" properties of water, such as surface tension and capillary action, due to the polarity of the molecules.
