In this geometry worksheet, learners use a grid to draw 3 different rectangles that have an area of 20 square units and determine the perimeter of each rectangle. They draw and answer questions related to the relationships and uses of...

In this measuring and classifying angles worksheet, 6th graders select the type of angle (acute, right, obtuse, straight) for 6 drawings, then use a protractor to measure each angle.

Twelfth graders examine different dimensions and units which go with a particular dimension. They explore the concept of linear measurement versus area. Students estimate area of 3-D objects. They practice converting from one unit of...

Students explore the rebound of balls. In this energy conversion lesson, students explore the physics behind the rebound of various types of sports balls. Through the experimental design process using balloons, students investigate and...

Learners identify various angles and how to measure each type. They use a protractor to measure each of the angles. Students also write the name of the angle and identify the number of degrees for each.

In this statistics lesson, learners use an on-line form generator create a class-specific form, then complete the form, view a graph and data analysis, and draw conclusions.

Young scholars analyze rocks. In this geology lesson, students collect rocks from the schoolyard and sort them according to various characteristics, such as color, size, and weight.

Explore the concept of volume of prisms using an applet to perform the calculations. The link to the interactive applet is embedded into the lesson plan as well as a link to associated data sheets. Get your math class to the computer lab...

Introduce the procedure needed to find the volume of a rectangular prism. Learners rank various prisms such as cereal boxes and tissue boxes from smallest to largest volume. They use an applet to find the volume and surface area of each...

Students practice measuring with formulas. In this measurement instructional activity, students complete an activity that requires them to calculate perimeter, area, and volume.

With this interactive lesson, learners compute the surface area of rectangular prisms. They visit an online investigation applet and record data on the provided handout. Pair this lesson with the volume lesson by the same publisher as an...

Second graders investigate a measurement web site before taken an online quiz about standard units of measurement. They determine how to read a ruler and take a twenty question quiz. They write about what they learned using a word...

Using the scientific method, and bubble gum, learners conduct a motivating experiment. After conducting a series of tests involving bubble gum, they graph and analyze their results. This is the type of activity everyone loves.

Students explore the concepts of mean, median, mode, and range as they elicit data about people's favorite flavor of ice cream. A practical application of the data obtained offers an extension to the lesson plan.

In this decimals worksheet, students solve 18 different types of problems that include both decimals and non-decimals. First, they subtract the measurement problems given both in metric units and in US units. Then, students subtract the...

Certain things just do not mix, including liquids of varying densities. Learners collect data to determine the densities of several liquids. They then use the density information to predict the type of liquid.

Students calculate the rate of speed of various moving objects within the classroom setting, or outside under a controlled environment.

Students investigate air by participating in a class experiment. In this matter measurement lesson, students identify air as a gas which consists of mass. Students utilize a windsock or balloon to measure oxygen and explore it's true...

Even though the student handouts are not included in the write-up, this lesson contains the instructions for terrific activities to use when teaching middle schoolers about metamorphic rocks. First, they compare granite to gneiss and...

A very cute presentation on the four types of angles can be found in this resource. Young mathematicians are introduced to obtuse, acute, right, and reflex angles. Charming stick figures are depicted using the angles. Great for use in...

Practice recognizing types of additive angles with a worksheet in which pupils review adjacent, interior and exterior, complementary, and supplementary angles and use a diagram to give examples of them. Be aware that the diagram involves...
