Children gain first-hand experience with Native American agriculture while investigating the life cycle of plants with this engaging experiment. Focusing on what the natives called the Three Sisters - corn, beans, and squash - young...

Do your students have what it takes to be the king of math? Find out with this fun skills practice game that covers a wide range of topics from counting and basic operations to measurement and fractions.

How many millimeters are in 10 meters? Which is greater: two centimeters or 30 millimeters? These are the types of questions learners can solve, along with one word problem, in a six-sectioned measurement brochure.

How would a pendulum work on the moon or Jupiter? To answer that question scholars control up to two pendulums including their location, length, mass, and amplitude. Added controls include changing the friction and strength of gravity....

Observe the change in the trigonometric ratios as angles vary. An interactive provides the values of trigonometric ratios for both acute angles in a right triangle. Pupils create a right triangle to match given criteria and find the...

Does doubling mean everything doubles? Learners adjust the scale factor between two rectangles. Using the calculated measurements, pupils investigate the ratios between the lengths, perimeters, and areas of the rectangles.

When does the Pythagorean Theorem come in handy? An intriguing video uses the Pythagorean Theorem to solve problems other than simply finding the length of a side of a right triangle. Pupils find the diagonal of a rectangle and the...

Take mathematics to the hoop! Pairs first measure the linear distances on a basketball court. Using those measurements, they determine the scale lengths to create a scaled model. To finish the activity, learners create models of the...

It's the encore to a wave unit. Individuals build either a slap tube, flute, or xylophone as a culminating activity for a physics unit on waves. Scholars calculate the lengths of pipes needed to produce the specific notes for their...

Lay it out using the least amount of material. Learners use the dimensions of a cylindrical sports bag to find out the size of pieces of material needed to sew them. The pupils find the best placement of the pieces to use the least...

One step at a time, pupils practice their measurement techniques as they analyze their stride length. They design their own procedures for measuring and relate their stride measurements to the distance traveled by making calculations.

Introduce a special relationship with right triangles. Learners discover the ratio of the sides in a 30-60-90 triangle. After watching several examples and seeing two different methods, pupils find unknown sides in triangles. Scholars...

The big idea in this poetry unit plan is that structure and content work together to create meaning. Class members learn how to identify and mark the metrical patterns and line lengths used in poems. They study the structure of various...

In this length measurement worksheet, students complete 2 questions, determining which objects have the longest side. A reference web site is given for additional information.

In this measuring with body units learning exercise, students read examples of unusual units of length based on the body, then use these measurements to record estimated and actual length measurements of 5 common objects.

In this Pythagorean theorem worksheet, 10th graders solve 10 different word problems that include using the Pythagorean theorem in each. First, they determine the height of an equilateral triangle. Then, students determine the length of...

Students compare and contrast objects according to their length. In groups, they travel to different centers in their classroom to participate in different sorting activities. They are introduced to how to use a ruler and reading the...

In this area card game worksheet, 4th graders cut out the cards, drawing them one at a time, recording the measurement in the chart as length or width then finding the areas in a card game format.

In this area and volume worksheet, students calculate the area, volume, and length of sides of different cubes. Students complete this for 3 cubes and answer 3 questions.

Students identify a right angle and right triangle. They perform WebQuests searching for similar figures and solve for the length of one of the sides given the other two.

Fourth graders use Unifix cubes to estimate standard measurements of length, weight, and capacity. After practicing, 4th graders complete an individual assessment by the teacher where they are asked questions about measurement and...

For this similar figures worksheet, 10th graders solve and measure 10 different angles that are similar. First, they determine which angel corresponds to each given angle. Then, students determine the scale factor of a particular...

In this volume learning exercise, 8th graders solve and complete 6 different short answer questions and problems that relate to volume. First, they determine the number of cubes found altogether that has a given length, width and height....

In this measuring length activity, students find the items illustrated in the classroom and measure their lengths to the nearest inch and centimeter. Students then use the measurements to solve the two word problems.
