Examine the concept of variation through observation and measurement. Middle schoolers will study a peanut and record any distinguishing characteristics visible as well as sketch their peanuts and describe them in writing. Their peanut...

Students estimate the circumference of a pumpkin. They measure the pumpkin and other school objects, and record the measurements on worksheets.

Linear measurement is the focus of this math instructional activity. Youngsters work in groups to build towers with blocks. They build towers represented on index cards and determine how many blocks taller one tower is.

Young scientists grab their measuring tapes, rulers, and yard sticks as they see how big Arctic animals really are. To conceptualize the trait of height or length, each small group will measure out the entire length of an arctic animal....

Build angles from angles. Using the Angle Addition Postulate, learners find the measures of unknown angles. The interactive simulation shows a visual representation of the postulate and allows individuals to manipulate the angles and...

Find the height from afar. Teams role play as summer interns to find the height of a set of windows from the outside. Scholars must first determine how to find the height with the available tools. After determining a strategy involving...

Take your drafting and design projects on the go with with this mobile computer-aided design program. Allowing users to view, edit, and share their work with others, this is a great resource for developing the technical drawing...

The Hopewell people of the central Ohio Valley used right triangles in the construction of earthworks. Pupils use the Pythagorean Theorem to determine missing dimensions of right triangles used by the Hopewell people. The assessment task...

Don't lose your marbles. Scholars use an interactive to create a triangle that closes off a portion of a sidewalk with loose marbles. The Law of Sines helps them find the side measures of such a triangle.

An in-class and at-home assignment, young math stars find and list items from home and school that they think are one foot in length. Once the list is made, provide everyone with rulers to measure and find the actual lengths of their items.

Equip your chemistry class with the tools to properly understand endothermic and exothermic reactions. Young chemists collect, analyze, and graph data to determine how the Law of Conservation of Matter is applied to chemical...

Students use the correct tool to measure distances. For this geometry lesson, students use an odometer and ruler correctly as they study maps. They describe how far way something is.

Upper graders identify the surface area and attributes of figures that are measurable. They estimate, measure, and record perimeter, area, temperature change, and elapsed time, using a variety of strategies. They also determine the...

A six-question interactive tasks mathematicians to solve addition and subtraction problems using front-end estimation. Question types consist of multiple-choice and true or false. A set of wooden beams that can be measured using moveable...

Forget hours, divide the day into radians instead. Class members convert the angles in a pie chart of daily activities into radian measures. They add angle measures for multiple activities then determine a relationship between the radian...

How do degrees relate to radians? The interactive allows pupils to manipulate the size of an angle in a unit circle to help see that relationship. Users determine the radian measure for given degree measures of angles, realizing the...

Pupils use an interactive clock to set specific times. They apply math to an everyday task as they determine the measure of the angle formed by the hands in degrees and in radians. 

Groups of students rotate through five classroom stations to estimate, measure, and record volume, length, weight, mass, and area using both customary and metric measure. They evaluate their data to determine how close their estimates...

Each member of the class creates their own paper ruler. Using their ruler, kids walk around the room measuring the objects you've specified. Discuss how items should be measured to the 16th of an inch, the smallest unit on their ruler....

A great start to activate thinking about the scientific method, instruments, measurements, accuracy, constants and laws. Each slide describes important procedures and examples essential for the study of science.

How are arc lengths and radians related? An interactive resource demonstrates the relationship as pupils create arc lengths in a unit circle and compare them to the angle measurements. Questions ask individuals to build upon this...

Students view various images to examine different types of protest Americans have used throughout history, and explore ways in which protest can produce change for better or worse.

Young scholars create tasty faces. In this food lesson, students use rice cakes to make a funny face. Young scholars follow directions and use creativity for this activity. Students make a list of things they need from the grocery store...

Tests mathematicians' knowledge of decimals, place value, and rounding with a five-question interactive. A tool with movable parts assists scholars in answering questions—multiple-choice and true or false.  A discussion question...
