Fifth graders throw darts, collecting data for distance traveled. In this data analysis lesson, 5th graders throw a dart using an atlatl. They calculate the speed for each throw and determine the best dart length for distance throws.

Sixth graders experiment with an atlatl and dart.  In this sixth grade data management mathematics lesson, 6th graders explore and determine the most suitable methods of displaying data collected from their experimentation with...

Students make a wind vane, anemometer, wind spiral, and wind streamer to calculate wind movement. In this wind lesson plan, students test each of their wind instruments, and graph the results of the wind speed in different locations.

In this algebra worksheet, students calculate how lont it wil take to fill a pool given 3 different pipes. All of the pipes are turned on and fills at different speed, and one pipe empties the pool. There is an answer key with this problem.

In this algebra learning exercise, students are given a word problem and asked to use algebra to solve it. They have to calculate the speed of a train and a car if they are both moving at a constant rate. There is an answer key.

Students study waves and their characteristics.  In this wave lesson students calculate the speed of waves, wavelength and the period. 

Students investigate the sport of skiing through Internet research in this multi-task instructional activity. They compare and generalize the results of five individuals by using mean, median, and mode.

Students use LOGAL motion detector probe and observe a generated graph as a student performs various standard motions, and make measurements of time and distance. They suggest various time and distance measurements which a student can...

Students use Olympic athlete statistics to make algebraic calculations. In this algebraic equation lesson, students use algebra to calculate athlete speed and calories burned.

Students graph the slopes of a line using the intercepts. In this precalculus lesson plan, students identify the properties of a curve slope. They find the limit and use a graping calculator to graph their lines.

For this precalculus worksheet, students complete a table of common angle equivalences and compare them to radians. Using their calculator they examine the difference between angles in degrees and the answer in radians. Students...

Students calculate the speed, rate and distance. In this geometry lesson plan, students calculate the area and perimeter of polygons. They perform an activity with a CEENBoT and calculate the distance and speed.

Students calculate the surface area of different prisms. In this geometry lesson, students identify the shapes of solids based on the properties of that solid. They calculate the surface area using nets and properties of prisms.

In this science worksheet, students find the answers to significant questions about speed and velocity while looking for meaning with the help of others in class or online from a homework buddy.

Fourth graders develop problem solving skills while learning to measure an athletic track. The focus upon logic and reasoning is helpful for all types of science and math calculations.

Twelfth graders solve problems involving linear and angular speed. Using information about a compact disc, they solve the problem using multiple rates and conversion factors. Students also solve additional problems involving bicycle...

Students perform an experiment where a string is tied across the room. A straw is threaded onto the string, and a balloon attached to the straw. Students determine the speed of the balloon as it moves across the string. They repeat the...

Students, in hands-on activities, explore how a dump truck might be made to negatively accelerate or slow down. They participate in activities using friction force to modify the truck-and-ramp system. Student groups test ideas for...

High schoolers create an accelerometer and take measurements of acceleration in a moving car. They study the car speeding up in a straight line, slowing in a straight line and curving at constant speed. They prepare a lab report showing...

Young scholars calculate distance and proportion of objects. In this algebra lesson plan, students define proportion and how it is used in math. They solve the problem through guided instruction.

Students create a search and rescue party. In this geometry lesson, students simulate a rescue operation using math. They calculate the time, rate and solve word problems related to the real world.
