Here is a great real-world problem that kids will really connect with. A conversation between two boys about doing 360s and 180s while skateboarding sets the stage for the lesson. Learners are shown how rays are used to measure full and...

Ever wonder how many marshmallows long your toothbrush is? Well, you're in luck! This hands-on measurement activity requires young mathematicians to determine the length of their toothbrush using Unifix® cubes, buttons, Cheerios, bear...

The gingerbread man has finally been caught, now find out how tall he is with this measurement activity. Using Unifix® cubes, marshmallows, buttons, and Cheerios, young mathematicians measure and record the height of the gingerbread man...

Measure angles in more than one way. The interactive introduces the concept of measuring angles from 0 to 360 degrees. Scholars explore the relationships between the angle and reference angles along with coterminal angles.

Using a circle with clock like hands, the tutor explains common angle measurements. She shows that a full circular rotation equals 360 degrees, a quarter rotation equals 90 degrees, a three-quarters rotation equals 270 degrees, and a...

Have your class play concentration memory games using analog and digital clocks. Second graders become little experts with time telling to the minute, quarter, half, and hour. Use as a fun Friday treat as well as other...

In this rotational symmetry worksheet, students solve 14 short answer and graphing problems. Students identify the order and magnitude of given figures.  Students find the scale factor of a dilation given a graph.

Students measure using the metric system. In this geometry lesson, students solve problems using grams, meters and liters. They convert between the US units of measurements and the Metric System.

Once your scholars have a grasp on telling time, challenge them to add and subtract intervals using number lines and Judy Clocks. Using a start and end time, learners determine time duration on their own clocks or number lines. A...

Eighth and ninth graders translate and rotate given images. They identify ordered pairs, determine congruent sides and explore angle measurement. This four-page learning exercise contains 40 problems.

Physics stars design mobiles that demonstrate rotational equilibrium. They take measurements and solve related equations for force by graphing, substitution, or determinants. This is a well-developed lesson plan, complete with student...

Through a station rotation activity, scientists complete 9 chemistry activities to complete this interactive activity. Concepts include molar masses, percent composition, accuracy vs. precision, mass of an object, scientific notation,...

Searching for a detailed lesson to assist in describing rotations while keeping the class attentive? Individuals manipulate rotations in this application-based lesson depending on each parameter. They construct models depending on the...

Examine the process of rotating images to visualize effects of changes to them. The fifth lesson of 18 prompts pupils to rotate different images to various degrees of rotation. It pays special attention to rotations in multiples of 90...

What happens when rotating an image 180 degrees? The sixth lesson plan in the series of 18 takes a look at this question. Learners discover the pattern associated with 180-degree rotations. They then use transparency paper to perform the...

Begin with a performance and end with a definition. Learners rotate a point about another point, documenting the steps. The scholars use their steps to create a definition of a rotation that is general enough to use for any degree of...

Follow six steps to implement this series of metric worksheets. Here, mathematicians exhibit their knowledge of problem solving, while converting units of measurement and label their answers with the applicable unit name.

Patty paper isn't just for separating meat. The lesson uses an inexpensive way to experiment with rigid transformations. Pupils use patty paper to create images after a translation, reflection, and rotation. Given a formative assessment,...

Pupils use an interactive clock to set specific times. They apply math to an everyday task as they determine the measure of the angle formed by the hands in degrees and in radians. 

Use a clock face to develop angles representing standard position angles. The interactive allows pupils to create angles using the hands of a clock. Scholars discover that there is a difference in the angle formed using a clock face and...

Scientists could measure the diameter of the sun before they knew its distance. Scholars construct a simple mirror box to measure the diameter for themselves. They compare this measurement with the official size, listed in a textbook,...

Measuring the diameter of the sun may get a little heated, but using an indirect approach can help individuals keep their cool. Learners use the reflection of the sun to measure how long it takes for it to move one diameter. Using the...

Discover the result of a sequence of rotations about different centers. Pupils perform rotations to examine the patterns. They also describe the sequence of rotations that performed to reach a desired result in the ninth installment in a...
