Students explore the cost of wasted water. In this math lesson, students conduct an experiment in which they collect data on how much water is lost when a faucet leaks. Students figure the cost of the water that was wasted.

Eighth graders measure regular baseball bats and souvenir bats in centimeters. They determine how tall a person would be to be in proportion to the souvenir bat, create a poster depicting the person, and explain the proportional...

Students prepare to take the GED by reviewing basic math concepts. In this geometry lesson plan, students review vocabularies such as formula, perimeter, circumference and other important geometric terms. They convert between the English...

Third graders study the meaning of the digits an any whole numbers with up to 3 decimal places. They order decimals with up to 3 decimal places and perform measuring tasks, using a range of units and scales.

Eighth graders use the data analyzer and motion detector to collect data and measure distances. They create topographic maps drawn to scale of a given setup and relate the concepts to the creation of historical ocean maps.

Students measure and correlate their foot lengths and body heights, then use this data to estimate height of Laetoli hominids. They use metric measurement and graphing to determine these heights.

Eighth graders measure foot length and hand span in this experiment to determine the ratio. They apply the ratio to determine Shaquille O'Neal's hand span if given his shoe size.

Students practice using measuring techniques by examining bubbles.  In this geometry lesson, students utilize mathematic formulas to discover the circumference and diameter of soap bubbles they blow.  Students practice creating...
