Young scholars determine the temperature of the water in a cup, measure the length of a piece of cardboard, and measure out an appropriate volume of water. This task assesses student's abilities to perform measurement and reporting skills.

Students use a balance and gram cubes to measure several different objects. They then record their results on a data chart and answer questions about them.

Upper graders practice their estimation skills by observing different objects then making their best guess without using measuring instruments. Students are asked to estimate mass, length, volume, and area.

Students calculate the measurement of a central angle. In this geometry lesson, students identify properties of circles. They use Cabri software to create and analyze graphs.

Learners define keywords that are important to solve problems. In this geometry lesson, students find the arc length and angle of a circle. They convert between radians and degrees.

Learners analyze cloud cover and to compose written conclusions to a given related scenario. They submit a letter of response and a report detailing their calculations and conclusions.

Students use the Live Access Server (LAS) to form maps and a numerical text file of snow cover for each continent on a particular date. They analyze the data for each map and corresponding text file to determine an estimate of snow cover...
