Students calculate the volume of the Pantheon's columns and estimate changes in weight given different parameters.

Eighth graders explore three-dimensional objects (prisms, pyramids, cylinders and cones) to draw nets. They use the understanding of drawing nets to find the surface area of pyramids and cylinders.

Students explore the size of one ton. They research the capacity of sialing ships and estimate the volume of rectangular prisms. Students perform activities to discover the capacity of a classroom in tons.

In this integers and measurement worksheet, students solve 24 various types of problems as defined. They reduce all fractions to lowest terms. Then, students draw a diagram and show the measurements to the proper power and pi for the...

Students view a right triangle displayed by the teacher. Students measure legs and the interior angles of the triangle. They look for a pattern or relationship between the legs and angles. Students use pegboards and string to create more...

In this math worksheet, students design a room by picking a room from home. They measure it and then create a three dimensional model.

Students examine the metric system and practice reading several different measuring devices.  For this investigative lesson students participate in an activity that helps them know the metric system. 

Fifth graders explore angles by using protractors. They recognize, describe and determine the surface area and volume of three-dimensional shapes. Students recognize the right angle, acute angle, obtuse angle and vertex. They identify...

In this math worksheet, students work at home with a family member to identify triangles and find the areas. Students find 3 triangles in tile patterns, wallpaper, paintings or anywhere in the home and answer 6 questions.

Students examine a math worksheet and determine how to divide a single triangle into four of equal area. Using geometric principles, they sketch two additional ways to divide into into four equal triangles. To conclude, students...

Test your scholars' knowledge of a multitude of concepts with an assessment aligned to the California math standards. Using the exam, class members show what they know about the four operations, positive and negative numbers, statistics...

Students investigate one, two and three dimensional objects. In this algebra lesson, students differentiate between different shapes of objects and write equations to represent each. They start with what they already know and prove...

Students create packages with a maximum capacity. For this geometry lesson ,students estimate using whole numbers, decimals and fractions. They calculate length, weight and mass of packaging.

Pairs of geometry whizzes work together to determine which of three differently shaped cylinders will have the greatest volume. Pupils cut out the three rectangles embedded in the plan, and tape them together to form a cylinder. From...

High schoolers discuss and identify polygons and lines. In this geometry lesson, learners review liner, square and cubic units so they can incorporate it into the lesson on measurement and creating packing that are cost effective.

Show high schoolers there is more to quadratic functions than just formulas and parabolas. Connect the math to realistic application problems with a resource that has learners consider such situations as a ball hit in the air, the...

Provide your class some practice with the dimensions of geometric figures. Here you have a set of three different-shaped, stemmed drinking glasses with diameters and heights provided. Math-minded individuals calculate the volume of each....

Second graders investigate volume through the use of measuring cups. They complete a variety of measuring tasks using kitchen measuring cups. Students accurately measure the volume and compare the results.

Young scholars calculate the length, width, height, perimeter, area, volume, surface area, angle measures or sums of angle measures of common geometric figures. They create an equation of a line of best fit from a set of ordered...

Seven activities make up a collection of supplemental materials to reinforce graphing on a coordinate plane. Worksheet objectives include plotting coordinates within single and four quadrants, measuring straight and...

Get creative juices flowing when you allow groups to figure out a procedure for how to find the area of squares and rectangles. They may use the individual patchwork blocks, or they may design one using the Design Template.

Scholars create and perform experiments attempting to answer Buffon's Coin problem. They discover the relationships between geometry and probability, empirical and theoretical probabilities, and area of a circle and square.

Students explore the basic geometric shapes and geometric shape vocabulary through the use of geoboards and virtual geoboards. They create a variety of shapes with a partner, build ten different rectangles on their geoboards, and...

Here is a problem-solving lesson that has learners take the role of a packaging expert to design an inexpensive means of packaging a potato chip. It could benefit from having more specific detail about the lesson itself, but it does make...
