Fifth graders measure specified distances when given perpendicular lines. In this measurement lesson plan, 5th graders draw the lines themselves.

Students explore geometry by participating in a measurement activity. In this human anatomy lesson, students identify the appropriate methods to measure human body parts and do so in class. Students create a bar graph from their class...

Middle and high schoolers calculate the volume of cylinders. They measure the height, radius and diameter of cylinders. Following given formulas, students calculate the area and volume of the cylinder. They compare cylinders and predict...

Students find the surface area and volume of the solid figures by measuring the length and the height of each face and base. They use concrete models to derive formulas for finding perimeter, circumference, area, surface area, and volume...

Students utilize mathematical concepts such as: measurement, ratio and proportion and geometric probability to analyze the components of the U.S. Flag. They collect, organize and interpret data by constructing charts, tables and graphs...

Learners examine resource links to examine types of measurement. They play interactive games to practice conversion. They inspect digital and analog clocks as well as the three temperature scales,

Students create a sextant. Using their sextant, students measure the height of tall objects. Students explore how sailors used sextants to identify their location on the ocean. They research how sextants are created.

Fifth graders conduct various measurement activities on themselves and a partner. They measure their height, weight, thumb-to-pinky span, and body temperature, recording the information in the form of an Excel spreadsheet.

Young scholars discuss the different ways we use numbers in everyday life. They walk around the classroom for 5 to 10 minutes, students are asked to point out examples of numbers they find in the room. Young scholars are asked to image...

Students complete worksheets involving rotational symmetry. For this geometry lesson, students complete worksheets to identify rotational symmetry and rotations. They compare and contrast rotated figures. Students examine the...

Students experiment with velocity, ratios, and rates. In this data management lesson, students throw a dart with and without using an atlatl and collect and record various data. Students construct ratios based on the data and determine...

Eighth graders explore the weapons of the Aboriginal people.  In this eight grade math/science lesson plan, 8th graders collect and analyze data regarding the speed and distance of a dart thrown with an atlatl.  Students choose...

Students practice their measuring and cooking skills with a box of Rice Krispies. In this culinary activity, students utilize a box of Rice Krispies, butter, marshmallows and utensils to cook a batch of Rice Krispie Treats. Students...

Students identify the standard deviation. For this statistics lesson, students find the mean distribution and calculate the percent of deviation from the mean. They observe this change on the Ti calculator.

Eighth graders explore the Pythagorean Theorem. They use Geometer's Sketchpad and explore features of various figures. Students use the software to build a figure using the given measurements.

Students collect and sort rocks based on visible characteristics.  In this statistics instructional activity, students determine adequate sample size and categorize rocks based on characteristics.  The book Everybody Needs a...

High schoolers investigate harmonic conjugates using Cabri Software or the Ti Calculator to analyze harmonics. They explore different angles measurements as they move their circles around and solve problems.

Eighth graders demonstrate knowledge of metric tools by measuring common objects in the classroom. They discuss the various units of metric measurement and the scientific tools used to take them. They copy a metric ladder from a Web site.

Students understand the concept of how to use different measurement tools for specific purposes. Students take pictures of various objects that can be measured using a digital camera and then making a power point presentation.

Young scholars measure angles.  In this angle lesson, students draw angles.  They  use a protractor to measure angles and identify the angle as straight, right, acute, or obtuse. 

Students measure angles that are formed by parallel lines and a transversal lines. In this angles lesson plan, students measure and define angles that are made by parallel and transversal lines. They will color code the angles based on...

Students identify types of arcs and angles in a circle, find the measure of arcs and angles, and solve real world problems involving lengths of segments in circles, lengths, and areas.

Students explore how geometry is used on the composition of artworks by artists from different cultures. This lesson is equally suited for a Math or Art classroom at the late-elementary or early-middle school level.

Students predict the measurement of objects. In this measurement lesson, students estimate the measurements of objects in a lab. Students measure irregular objects and generate scientific observations.
