Seventh graders use a protractor to measure angles and solve a problem involving distance. In this measuring angles with a protractor lesson plan, 7th graders calculate the distance of a line on a diagram by using a protractor to measure...

Students identify and compare the characteristics of floor plans and zoning to family activities and needs. They draw an accurate floor plan--either existing or a work in progress to scale. Then, students roughly sketch their bedroom...

Learners identify and create angles. In this angle measurement lesson, students use sticks to make models of angles, then measure and name each angle.

Students predict which of two glasses is 1/2 full using visual estimation, height measurement, and liquid measurement methods. Mathematical equations to accurately solve the problem are determined and verified.

Learners explore angle relationships and measure angles with a protractor by hand and online. They explore various websites and complete online activities and complete a worksheet.

Learners simulate analyzing artifacts in archaeological lab by using real techniques that archaeologists use. Students practice measuring skills, drawing, writing, and brainstorming, and make inferences based on evidence.

Young scholars use calculations to complete the same journey of Lewis and Clark. They answer questions along their way and share information they gather with the class. They compare their calculations with those made by Lewis and Clark.

Students study the concepts of weight and drag while making paper helicopters. They measure how adding more weight to the helicopter changes the time for the helicopter to fall to the ground. They apply what they examine to the work of...

Students determine the relationship between bone length and height. In groups, they are told the race and gender of the individual and discuss how this affects height. They measure the lengths of the bones in metric measurements and...

Students read "Public Is Wary but Supportive on Rights Curbs," at the New York Times online. They explore how opinion polls are created and conducted, focusing on the wording of questions and the methods of sampling a population.

Students investigate circles using a BMX path. In this circles lesson, students use technology of various kinds to create a BMX track. They use Moodle to develop their lesson and as they investigate the area and perimeter of a circle....

Your class will participate in a series of math vocabulary activities to learn about parallel lines. They find people using a math list and connect math words in the context of sentences. They also read the math words in the example...

Students investigate one, two and three dimensional objects. In this algebra lesson, students differentiate between different shapes of objects and write equations to represent each. They start with what they already know and prove...

In this math worksheets, students practice converting the metric measurements into different units. They must choose the operations of multiplication and division to convert.

Students complete problems dealing with whole numbers, fractions and percents. After exploring the history of corn and related farming vocabulary, students work in pairs to solve multi-step problems. They incorporate the use of number...
