Pupils study the history of bags, pouches and purses. Use of these items spans the entire globe and encompasses practically every civilization. The lesson culminates with learners creating their own bag from a variety of choices. The...

Sixth graders measure distances on a map using string and a ruler. They complete mathematical word problems about measurement.

Students will be offered numerous opportunities to further enhance their observational skills as well as the integration of math with their continual exposure to the metric system, measurement, and graphing to represent their data....

Learners investigate the connection that exists between Algebra and Geometry. They classify two and three-dimensional figures. Pupils use formulas to solve problems in geometry and use appropriate measuring devices in the right contexts.

Research data analysis by creating charts in class. Define the differences between an "average" and "range" while examining measurement data based on student height. Utilize computer software to create a height graph which is shared with...

Students conduct an experiment in order to observe the typical downward growth of a maize root. They become familiar with the root's growth patterns to use as a control for comparison in other experiments.

Young scholars explore how to solve any quadratic equation with a video about the quadratic formula. They then use the quadratic formula to solve a set of quadratic equations.

Kindergarteners use worms, puppets or other props to practice counting to 100. First, they listen to a read aloud of Count Worms by Roger Hargeaves. A worm pattern is used to count to 100, with each segment of the worm...

Students observe and experiment with the concept of density. This is done using a simple experiment that helps them to apply scientific principles of observation and proving a hypothesis.

Students practice using a protractor and ruler to draw various points and lines. Using a computer, they draw the points and lines in the program and describe the differences between their drawing and the computer's drawing. They complete...

In this Archimedes worksheet, students complete and respond to 4 different problems related to different triangles. First, they find the midpoint of each side of a given triangle. Then, students connect the midpoints with the opposite...

In the world of GPS, make sure your kids can still read maps and determine distances between locations. You will need neighborhood street maps, ideally of your class' home turf. Ask kids questions about different locations in relation to...

Hands-on is the best way to play. Learners read a graph that shows the force needed to stretch a rubber band. They do this and then participate in a simple experiment where they create coiled springs with wire. They work to determine how...

Second graders develop spatial sense, such as above and below. In this spatial sense lesson, 2nd graders go on a scavenger hunt and to piece together the clues. Each clue has a question using spatial vocabulary. 

Students use a simple machine (a lever) to launch a plastic frog. students determine who is able to make their frog "jump" the farthest and graph the results.

Students explore a hydrometer.  In this gravity lesson students construct a hydrometer and create a liquid density column. 

In this mars and scaling worksheet, learners use the given image to determine the dimensions of the image and the size of specific details on the image. They calculate the image scale in meters in order to determine specific...

Students find the factor of proportionality in similar polygons. In this similarity of polygons lesson plan, students measure the sides and angles of polygons and derive a factor of proportionality between corresponding pairs of sides...

Students discover the Pythagorean Theorem.  In this discovering the Pythagorean Theorem lesson, students measure the lengths of various triangles to the nearest centimeter. Students record their measurements in a table. ...

Students explore the historical sequence of cultures throughout history. They demonstrate the ability to organize events in chronological order and demonstrate how time is measured and annotated.

Students create angles using mirrors. In this angle reflection lesson, students draw angles, then use mirrors to create angles using reflections and measure the new angles.

Students place a pencil perpendicular to the ground and trace its shadow between 11:30 AM and 12:30 PM. They measure the length of the shadow, periodically over several hours, in either English or Metric units. Using the data, they find...

Students investigate the amount of rain that falls in their area through the construction and monitoring of a rain gauge. The gauge is observed for one week, recordings are made, and observations described in a chart.

Students utilize triangulation techniques to determine altitudes of objects. An altitude locator is constructed and used to determine the height of a building or a tree. Tangent tables and formulas provide the ratio for the formula to...
