This six-week unit encompasses all subjects with a focus study on world history and the development of ancient civilizations. As gifted and talented students dive into the interesting yet challenging topic of Egypt, they...

Who knew there were pyramids in China? Learners apply surface area and volume formulas to several different real-world situations. They calculate the volume and surface area of an aquarium, an ice cream cone, and Egyptian and Chinese...

Students explore the concept of Egyptian contributions in mathematics. In this Egyptian contribution lesson, students research Egyptian hieroglyphics and pyramids. Students write numerals in hieroglyphics. Students use Egyptian methods...

Students calculate the height and altitude of a pyramid. In this geometry lesson, students define the parts that make up a pyramid. They use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing parts of a pyramid.

Young scholars identify the surface area of pyramids and other polygons. In this geometry lesson, students find the different measurements for the different parts of a polygon. They use the surface area formula to solve for the...

To observe preservation techniques firsthand, learners dry a flower in sand and compare cucumber slices soaked in salt water for a week with slices left out to dry in the open air. Video resources (not attached) include one about mummies...

Students solve and verify the solution for unknown measures. In this geometry lesson, students identify the properties of circles. They use the arc, angle and segment relationship to find the missing measures.

Student design and build Lego vehicles that drag given amount of weight up an incline. They show how this demonstrates Egyptian methods of pyramid construction.
