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.

Students 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. Students are asked to image a world...

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

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.  For this eight grade math/science lesson, 8th graders collect and analyze data regarding the speed and distance of a dart thrown with an atlatl.  Students choose the...

Students practice their measuring and cooking skills with a box of Rice Krispies. In this culinary lesson, 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. In 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.

Students participate in a lesson that has the intention of working on estimation skills. They use pumpkins to estimate the number of seeds are inside. They collect data for each pumpkin and compare it to the estimation. Students question...

Students explore measurement by measuring classmates' heads. They record their measurements and they put the measurements in order from smallest to largest. Students figure the mean, median, mode, maximum, minimum, and range of their...

Eighth graders use a meter stick that is placed on a horizontal surface and an object is moved along it so that the shadow length can be measured at different distances from the light source. They solve real-world problems involving...

Guide your geometers through the process of constructing polygons. They learn how to draw triangles, squares, parallelograms, rectangles, rhombuses, and trapezoids with specified angles using a protractor and a ruler. The lesson plan...

Learners estimate and measure triangles. In this geometry lesson, students identify the relationship between three sides and a triangle. They use the inequality theorem to decide if a triangle will be formed or not.

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.

Students 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...
