Young scholars determine the temperature of the water in a cup, measure the length of a piece of cardboard, and measure out an appropriate volume of water. This task assesses student's abilities to perform measurement and reporting skills.

Students are shown that numeracy is all around them. They use volume, and calculate the quantity of soil required to make a garden to given instructions. Students are asked how to calculate the amount of soil required for the garden.

Seventh graders explore the the constituents and properties of matter. They use the scientific process while exploring solids, liquids, gases, the mass, volume and density of matter. Students plan and conduct an investigation to measure...

Learners examine a math worksheet and determine how to divide a single triangle into four of equal area. Using geometric principles, they sketch two additional ways to divide into into four equal triangles. To conclude, students...

Sixth graders compare the relative sizes of the five Great Lakes and their human populations. They describe some of the problems that arise when many people depend on a limited resoure. Students discuss how the Great Lakes and the...

Students solve the area of a cross section. In this calculus lesson, students solve areas rotated and bounded by two functions. They solve using the washer method.

In this Calculus worksheet, 12th graders are provided with practice problems for their exam.  Topics covered include limits, derivatives, area bounded by a curve, minimization of cost, and the volume of a solid of revolution. ...

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 Calculus learning exercise, students are provided with practice problems for their exam.  Topics covered include derivatives, area bounded by a curve, local maximum, instantaneous rate of change, and the volume of a solid of...

Students model three-dimensional objects using cubes. In this geometry lesson plan, students calculate the volume and derived the amount mathematically. They use different objects to create two and three-dimensional objects.

In this math worksheet, students sketch the finite area whose boundary is composed of pieces of the curves x =1− y 4 and x = y2 − 1.

Seventh graders measure surface area. In this geometry instructional activity, 7th graders find the surface area of various geometrical shapes. Using a computer program, students compute the area of 2-D and 3-D...

Students identify the parts of an engine using a graph. In this statistics lesson, students make a graph from their collected data. They calculate the volume of a cylinder using a line of regression and a scatter plot.

Young scholars analyze and evaluate the effects of abstraction and realism on depictions of the human form in ancient and modern-day cultures.

Students examine a Webmath page, and demonstrate how to copy and paste. They create a computer-generated template page presenting the attributes of two- and three- dimensional shapes.

Young scholars create and give oral proposals for the construction of a gazebo using a blueprint created with Geometer's Sketchpad. They then build a gazebo model using the blueprints created and provide evidence why it should be...

Fourth graders demonstrate proper finger placement on the keyboard and beginning keyboard techniques (shift key for capitals and symbols, tab to indent, number/caps lock, identify home row keys, anchor fingers to home row, use two hands...

Pupils discover optical illusions in this lesson that uses a red shamrock and white construction paper. Emphasis is placed upon inquiry, experiment, and then a short discussion on optical illusions and complimentary colors.

Students participate in talking circles regarding governance issues. In this self-governance lesson, students examine First Nations and land claims in the Great Slave Lake area  in Canada.

Young scholars explore the elements of contrast, emphasis, pattern, and color schemes by identifying how the artist manipulated tesserae in the mosaic. They create original mosaics by manipulating torn paper to depict different textures...

Students examine and identify polyhedron shapes on a math website. They write journal reflections about two- and three-dimensional shapes, and transform a square into a pinwheel.

Students create small shamrock replicas using green and white paints, paper, bubble wrap, and gold glitter. This lesson intended for the early-elementary classroom is ideal for celebrating St. Patrick's Day or spring-time in general.

Students create "Shamrock Men" using construction paper, pre-cut patterns, glue, and scissors in this lesson that celebrates St. Patrick's Day. The lesson was originally create for a Special Education class but could be adapted for...

Students create jewelry from junk mail. In this visual art lesson, students use junk mail to design necklaces and bracelets.
