Students discuss the proper role of government in the economy. Reviewing the foundations for a market economy to work properly, they decide how to best direct resources to get the most out of them. They distinguish between private and...

Learners determine the area of two objects by superimposing one on the other. They compare and order the area of different shapes by covering a larger shape with similar smaller ones. They complete these activities as different stations.

Students investigate the concept of a watershed. They conduct research into the concept using a variety of resources. Students take a field trip to a local watershed to make observations. The outcome is a report concerning the outside...

Students study the historical figures and symbols of U.S. patriotism depicted on the penny, nickel, dime, and quarter coins. They explore the processes involved in making coins, and how metals canchange in consistency from the...

Students study the meaning, symbolism, and value of U.S. coins, especially the quarter. They l research why in 1965 the U.S. Mint decided to change the metal composition of the quarter to copper coated with zinc. In addition, they...

Use Glencoe's Math Course 3 randomly generated self-checking quiz to test your knowledge of indirect measurement. Each question has a "Hint" link to help. Choose the correct answer for each problem. At the bottom of the page click the...

[Free Registration/Login Required] Students explore scale and indirect measurement by navigating through the interactive learning module and then answering questions that go along with the module. Students can also learn more about the...

Made to measure! In this lesson students will be able to use the transitive principle for indirect measurement as they compare the lengths of the objects to each other.

This site gives a short interactive quiz which allows students to self-assess their understanding of indirect measurement.

Given real-life problems, the student will use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve the problems.

Compare the lengths of 2 objects indirectly by using a third object. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

This site contains an exercise that teaches about indirect measurements, used in this case to describe objects we cannot see.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Use proportions to find unknown measures in similar figures and then apply these measures to indirect measurement.

This lesson explains why similar triangles can be used to make indirect measurements, and provides an example. It is 5 of 5 in the series titled "Using Similar Triangles to Make Indirect Measurements."

This lesson explains why similar triangles can be used to make indirect measurements, and provides an example.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Use map scales and proportions to solve for unknown distances.

First Graders need to use direct and indirect comparisons to measure objects. Today they will use their new knowledge of dinosaurs to find the longest of the giant lizards.

Welcome to Martha's STEM Stories! STEM stands for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. You may already know that doing STEM means testing ideas, collecting data, making calculations, and drawing graphs and charts-but you...

In this inquiry-based activity, learners will work in groups to gather measurements needed to approximate the height of a building. Students will discover how geometric mean can be used to find the lengths of missing sides of right...
