How Clocks Work
Students discover time pieces and complete telling time activities. In this time lesson, students complete a worksheet about what make a clock keep time. Students watch a video about time and clocks as well as a video about an Egyptian...
Curated OER
Time for All Ages
Fourth graders discover time keeping by analyzing technological advances in history. In this time lesson, 4th graders create and complete a KWL chart based on their research of a famous timekeeping invention, such as a sundial....
Curated OER
Swing in Time
Students examine the motion of pendulums and come to understand that the longer the string of the pendulum, the fewer the number of swings in a given time interval. They see that changing the weight on the pendulum does not have an...
Curated OER
How Many in a Minute
Students estimate what they can accomplish in a minute. In this estimation lesson, students guess how many jumping jacks or stars they can draw in a minute. They get timed and see how close they are to their prediction.
Curated OER
Days of the Week
Students participate in a variety of center activities to reinforce the concept of days of the week and their succession. The concept of time can also be taught at the same time to introduce timekeeping.
Curated OER
Knowing North: Understanding the Relationship Between Time and The Sun
Students determine how to find North using a watch and their shadow. In this finding North lesson, students go outside on a sunny day and work with their shadow and a wrist watch to find out which direction that North is. They examine...
Curated OER
Long Day?
Students become aware of the effects of tides on the Earth's rotation. In this tides instructional activity, students calculate the number of seconds lost over various periods of time.

Using Active Learning to Reinforce Mathematics
Students predict, then measure how far a bug can travel on a "course" over a specified amount of time, then construct graphs based on the data they acquire.
Mathematics Assessment Project
College and Career Readiness Mathematics Test B1
Math was easier before it got mixed up with the alphabet. A 10-page test covers material from multiple years of high school math. Scholars demonstrate knowledge across domains with a mixture of short answer and applied problems.

Free Standing Structures
Students investigate how to create a free standing structure. In this mathematics activity, small groups of students demonstate how to build the tallest structure while spending the least amount of money on materials.
Curated OER
FREE STANDING STRUCTURE
Students demonstrate basic construction skills by building a free standing structure. They compute the cost of the structure.
Curated OER
Free Standing Structure
Students demonstrate basic construction skills by building a free standing structure, using predetermined materials. They compute cost of structure by using multiplication skills or calculator.
