Erie Canal
While canals are not the way to travel today, in the first half of the nineteenth century, they were sometimes the best way to move goods and people. Scholars examine primary sources, including maps and pictures, to investigate the role...
Curated OER
Measuring the Earth
Students identify types of arcs and angles in a circle, find the measure of arcs and angles, and solve real world problems involving lengths of segments in circles, lengths, and areas.
Curated OER
Pape's Theorems
In this math worksheet, students find the length of the side of a regular hexagon whose area is numerically equal to its perimeter.
Curated OER
Upwelling Terrestrial Radiation
Students calculate the hourly irradiance of the earth at a site given the near-surface air temperature of the site. They compare the calculated values of irradiance with those measured by instruments at the site. Students need to...
Curated OER
Cones, Cylinders, Spheres
Students classify polygons by name and shape. For this geometry lesson, students identify the lateral surface of each conic. They differentiate between cones, cylinders and spheres.

Design a Better Classroom Workplace
Learners design a new classroom workplace. In this architecture lesson, students use area formulas to identify the problem with the existing desks in their classroom. Learners design their own solution volume formulas to solve the...
Curated OER
Orthographic Drawing
Students investigate orthographic drawings. In this geometry lesson, students identify properties of three dimensional drawings in space. They solve problems using volume and area formulas.
Curated OER
Water Above the Ground
Pupils create a river drainage basin using a plastic tub, sand and a pitcher of water. They simulate the flow of water through the basin then add chocolate syrup to model what would happen if stormwater pollution entered the basin.
