Curated OER
Optional Laboratory: Measuring Tree Heights
Students work together to measure tree heights. They make predictions on what they believe the calculations are and answer questions during the experiment. They share their results with the class.
Curated OER
Coordinate Proofs
Students explore the concept of coordinate proofs. For this coordinate proofs lesson, students write coordinate proofs using properties of distance, slope, and midpoint. Students discuss why it is sometimes beneficial to double the...
Curated OER
Slopes, Distances, and Map Keys
Students explore Rise and Run. In this math lesson, students use Rise and Run to find given slopes, they will use the slopes to calculate distances from point to point on graph paper.
Curated OER
Vectors
Students differentiate distance and displacement. In this physics lesson plan, students use formulas to calculate for displacement. They draw vectors using the grid.
Curated OER
Unit Perimeters and Areas
Students use Geometers SketchPad to find the area and perimeter of several shapes. In this geometry lesson, students determine area of rectangles and progress through irregular polygons. None of the referenced worksheets are included...
Curated OER
Plain Figures And Measuring Figures
Seventh graders investigate the mathematical concept of a sector. They apply the concept to an example problem and then move into a more complex application. They find the area of the side of a cone. This is done as students calculate...
Curated OER
Gridding a 2 x 2 Meter Unit
Young scholars use the internet to examine what happens at an archeological dig site. In groups, they practice measuring a 2x2 meter square unit and gridding it out as an archeologist would do. They review the possible solutions at the...
