Students measure the speed of moving marbles and use the results to calculate velocity and momentum. They analyze the events preceding a Japanese train crash.

Students pick a tree they see everyday. They measure the tree's circumference and estimate its height using similar triangles. Students are introduced to Computational Science. They use computers and calculators to compute values...

Students conduct an ice melting investigation in which they observe and measure the melting of two ice spheres. They develop a hypothesis as to which sphere will melt the fastest, collect data every ten minutes, and graph the data using...

Students investigate the concept of probability. They use example problems in order to measure the likelihood of various outcomes. The instructional activity includes dialogue to be used by the teacher during direct instruction. They...

Students explore proportions which are typical of the human body. Given a list of classic proportions from earlier centuries, students work in pairs to test the validity of the proportions. Pupils share their personal measurements. ...

Students investigate the Winter Olympics by studying the geography of the 2010 Vancouver games.  In this competitive sports instructional activity, students identify the planning and preparation needed to produce an event like the...

Young scholars examine transformations. In this math lesson, students view and describe flips, slides, and turns. Young scholars practice making transformations with shapes.

Students jog at the beginning of the class while learning about the Appalachian Trail. They integrate math into the lesson by adding up how many miles they have run, and comparing it to distances on a real trail map.

Pupils use fractals to analyze nature. In this geometry lesson, students work in groups using technology and math to communicate. They identify where in the real world fractal can be seen.

Students draw cross sections of given contour maps. In this math lesson, students interpret the different symbols used in the map. They determine slope and steepness through direct measurement.

Students demonstrate their knowledge in using latitude and longitude measurements to find locations on a map, especially places in Hawaii.

Seventh graders convert fractions and decimals to percents. Using measuring cups, 7th graders model fraction/percent equivalents. They discuss how to change a decimal to a percent. Using the white boards, students review the different...

Pupils use technology to input, retrieve, organize, manipulate, evaluate, and communicate information; apply appropriate technologies to critical thinking, creative expression, and decision-making skills. They collect and explore data...

In this math worksheet, students use the operation of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to solve the word problems.

Students investigate millipedes. In this math and physics lesson plan, students examine the millipede's physical structure and characteristics by observing its behavior in given activities. Pupils will hypothesize whether they think the...

Students explore the topic of statistics with M and Ms. In this math lesson plan, students use candy pieces to sort and gather information needed to create a bar graph. This lesson can be adapted to accommodate students in grades 1-12.

Young scholars discover number sense by completing a math worksheet. In this scientific notation lesson, students identify the purpose for writing in scientific notation and practice writing large numbers in scientific notation. Young...
