Your task today: count all the trees on a tree farm. To complete the assignment, learners first estimate the number of trees on a tree farm using random sampling. To improve their own response they then evaluate provided...

Which fluids make the best bubbles? Pupils experiment with multiple fluids to determine which allows for the largest bubbles before popping. They gather data, analyze it in multiple ways, and answer analysis questions proving they...

Learn about the mammals of the sea with a lesson about seals, sea lions, and walruses. Kids study the characteristics of each pinniped with flash cards and information, and then analyze data about elephant seals, measure heat loss...

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,...

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

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

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

Students are given a brown paper sack filled with different types of object for them to measure. They are to first estimate the length and then measure them in centimeters and millimeters.

Students in a teacher education class address consumer related issues involving packaging. Using volume, surface area and graphs, they create a package for a given volume of a product. They design modifications for this lesson and to...

Students solve problems using a calendar. In this calendar activity, students complete a worksheet of math story problems. Example problems are provided. 

Students engage in a lesson that is concerned with the measurement of a foot as a customary unit. They take part in a series of activities to help them acquire skills of using a foot to compare other units of measurement. The teacher...

Students apply fraction multiplication and division to recipe conversion.

Students calculate the distance formula. In this geometry lesson, students find the distance between two points on a coordinate plane. They identify the four different quadrants.

Students investigate how weight affects a parachute's rate of fall.  In this investigative lesson students test parachutes, average results and conclude what makes a faster descent.

Students examine statistics by completing a skateboard measuring activity. In this flex lesson, students define what skateboard "flex" refers to and identify the proper method of measuring flex by conducting an experiment with pennies...

Students chart temperatures in Egypt on spreadsheet to determine how weather conditions affect lifestyles.

Students explore the concept of scale. In this scale lesson plan, students are given directions scaled in inches and students must convert them to feet. Students take a section of a map and create a bigger scaled model of the section.

Students recognize the need for a standard unit of volume. They estimate and measure to the nearest liter. Also they relate the liter to the familiar everyday containers.

Students explore measurements of rectangles. In this measurement comparison lesson, students discover the length, width, perimeter, and area of two different rectangles. Students record their measurements on a chart to make comparisons.

Young scholars discover the relationship between the sides of a polygon and the number of diagonals that can be drawn from one vertex, the number of triangles that those diagonals form, and the sum of the interior angles of that polygon.

Students utilize online research skills to surf the Internet and complete an online scavenger hunt to find the answers to various mathematical questions.

Your learners will examine probability through experiments and dice games. Using a computer, your class will perform simple experiments to collect and analyze data to determine the probability of different experimental results. Students...

Seventh graders measure the diameter, circumference and radius of a circle and find pi using the diameter and circumference. In this geometry lesson, 7th graders work in groups to find the diameter, radius, and circumference of circles....
