Explore methods for finding the volume of different three-dimensional figures. The 20th lesson in the 25-part series asks learners to interpret diagrams of 3-D figures and use formulas to determine volume. Scholars must use the...

Doing is more effective than watching. Learners use spaghetti to discover the relationship between the unit circle and the graph of the sine and cosine functions. As they measure lengths on the unit circle and transfer them to a...

Discover a new application of the Pythagorean Theorem. Learners prove and apply the converse of the Pythagorean Theorem in the 17th lesson in a 25-part series. The examples ask learners to verify right triangles using the converse...

There's no need to think outside the box for this one! Scholars measure the length, width, and height of various boxes. Results help develop the formulas for the surface area and volume of rectangular prisms.

The class gets to practice being a mathematician in ancient Greece, performing geometric application problems in the way of Eratosthenes. After following the steps of the great mathematicians, they then compare the (surprisingly...

Learners examine objects and find their volumes using geometric formulas in the 21st installment of this 25-part module. Objects take the shape of truncated cones and pyramids, and individuals apply concepts of similar triangles to find...

Using a similar process from the first instructional activity in the series of finding area approximations, a measurement resource develops the proof of the area of a circle. The problem set contains a derivation of the proof of the...

What happens to the momentum of an object when it strikes another object? Scholars roll a marble down a ramp so it collides with another marble. By measuring the speed of each marble before and after the collision, pupils answer this...

What properties does area possess? Solidify the area properties that pupils learned in previous years. Groups investigate the five properties using four problems, which then provide the basis for a class discussion.

Students line themselves up from smallest to tallest at the chalkboard with the teacher marking their heights. After recording their names on the board next to their mark, they work with a partner to measure their height using several...

Fifth graders investigate the relationship between mass and speed. In this physics lesson, 5th graders experiment with motion by being given a ramp, two balls, and blocks or books for elevation. Students determine how different variables...

Students create a relief map of Asia and Australia. They work in small groups on sections of the map to make one complete map of the continents.

Scholars learn about the metric system and produce a presentation on how to convert within the metric system. They then develop a brochure in support of legislation requiring the use of the metric system.

Students review different units of measurement that would be used to measure height. They compare their height to that of Abraham Lincoln by working with a partner to make a life size tracing of each other and measuring their height.

In this length and height worksheet, students use the given examples for length and height to compare and determine the answers for each problem. Students circle the correct answer and then write how they can use string to compare the...

Pupils utilize their knowledge of measurement in making accurate measurements and estimations.

Young scholars explore the concept of measurement.  In this measurement instructional activity, students collect data about themselves such as height, finger length, neck circumference, foot length, and other body...

Students convert basic measurement in English and Metric Units.

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

In this perimeter and area worksheet, 10th graders solve 12 different problems related to perimeter and area of various shapes. First, they determine the area of a parallelogram with a particular base and height. Then, students determine...

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...

In this scale drawings instructional activity, 5th graders learn to solve measurement problems using scale drawings and models for the six word problems.

Sixth graders determine how to find the volume of a box. In this volume lesson, 6th graders participate in a lesson in which the teacher uses the associated study guide to explain how to find the volume of a cubic figure. They use boxes...

Students determine the length and width of leaf samples to the nearest millimeter and the circumference of trees. They participate in a discussion about the importance of collecting specimens carefully. They compile accurate...
