Mean Absolute Deviation in Dot Plots
The lesson focuses on the ideas of dot plot representations and the mean absolute deviation of data sets.
Curated OER
What Makes Airplanes Fly?
Students examine force and conduct activities that model parachutes and helicopters. In this airplanes lesson students identify the forces that make airplanes fly higher and land.
Curated OER
Fill 'Er Up
Middle schoolers identify how many smaller units can be found in a later unit. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the volume and the transfer amount to a smaller unit. They solve real life problems using the formula for volume.
Curated OER
Fractions, Decimals and Percents
Students investigate the differences when using decimals, fractions, and percents. They focus on the process of using them in real problems and how to convert them from one form to another.
