Students will calculate the diameter, circumference, and ratio of a real world object. Students will create an electronic slideshow to illustrate the process of determining the diameter, circumference, and ratio of these objects.

This hands-on instructional activity uses exploration and discovery to help young scholars determine the coordinates of the vertices of various figures when translated, rotated, or reflected in a coordinate plane. The exploration phase...

In this exploration, students will apply their knowledge of finding volume and surface area of cylinders and rectangular prisms. Students will make recommendations to the local movie theater after determining which package is cost...

The students will find the area of each two dimensional figure on a net of a triangular prism. In groups, students will cut out the net and create a triangular prism. Groups will then discuss how to find the lateral area and the total...

The students will find the area of each two dimensional figure on a net of a rectangular prism. In groups, students will cut out the net and create a rectangular prism. Groups will then discuss how to find the lateral area and the total...

In this lesson, students will be required to generate a formula for volume of a rectangular prism. Students working in cooperative groups will use prior knowledge for finding area of a rectangle to determine the "amount of area in a...

This lesson allows young scholars to discover the number Pi. By measuring real life objects, students will get to see where the number Pi comes from as well as how the circumference formula is derived.This lesson plan was created as a...

The middle schoolers will find the area of each two dimensional figure on a net of a square pyramid. In groups, students will cut out the net and create a square pyramid. Groups will then discuss how to find the lateral area and the...

This teacher's guide from Public Television's Newton's Apple discusses and illustrates the physics principles governing the flight of a frisbee. Includes teacher lesson plans, activity ideas, discussion questions, and information about...

Explore this awesome tool that animates a robot that contains sliding arms (like those used in hydraulics) and rotating arms like those used in rotary motors. The exploration asks students to consider how to find the area drawn by the...

Plants, animals, fungi, and other creatures can be sorted into different kingoms or groups. Have a go identifying how organisms are grouped in Kingdom ID or Animal ID, or have a bit of fun recognising shapes in Shadow ID. Click on the...
