Pennies, Pennies and More Pennies
Learners determine the number of pennies needed to fill a room. In this pennies lesson plan, students work in groups to determine the number of pennies needed to fill a room. They compute the probability of the head of a pin...
Curated OER
Castles
Students create a scale model to a castle using the dimensions they were given. They calculate the surface areas and volumes of each section of their castle.
Curated OER
Algebra, Multiplication, and Division of Fractions
Students gain knowledge by measuring time and distance for solving unknowns in an equation. They also will design an airplane and chance to communicate mathematically by writing essays.
