Students conduct a class-wide survey collecting, compiling, and analyzing data about fitness, weight loss, and body image issues. They analyze the relationship between exercise and diet in weight control.

Mixtures, weighted percentages, and varying speeds make problem solving difficult. The resource give learners a strategy for tackling these types of problems effectively. 

Ninth graders conduct an experiment demonstrating what happens when a train hits a car using easily accessible materials. They calculate momentum, velocity, and distance using the appropriate formulas. Then they write an incident report...

Learners investigate various common terms of measurement, sort them into categories, select the uncommon terms, and construct conversion tables for both the common and the uncommon terms of measurement.

Fourth graders pack their imaginary handcart with the necessary items and take into account the bulk and weight of it. They discuss what would happen if one ran out of a certain material.

Young scholars explore friction. In this friction lesson, students investigate that weight and surface type affect friction.

In this second grade activity your class will practice telling time. The goal is to tell time to five minutes using an analog clock. Your young students count by 5 minute intervals and discuss elapsed time. 

Young scholars practice using their estimation skills by utilizing apples.  In this percentage lesson, students utilize a scale and an apple to discover the percentage of each bite they take.  Young scholars share their data...

Learners construct the Metric Pyramid from the handout. They use the Metric Pyramid to convert from standard to metric measure and vice versa. They compute their own Body Mass Index.

Students describe the differences between an estimate and a guess. They create reasonable estimates based on comparison and activities. Students explain how estimation is helpful in showing the relative size on a scale. They also...

Students write an equation from a story problem. In this algebra lesson, students solve liner equations they have created from a word problem. They read the problem and identify important words as they solve the equation.    

Students write an equation from a story problem. In this algebra lesson, students solve liner equations they have created from a word problem. They read the problem and identify important words as they solve the equation.

Fourth graders create an individualized wellness plan that addresses these controllable health risk factors:obesity, high cholesterol level, high blood pressure and inactivity.

In this online interactive math skills learning exercise, students solve 10 multiple choice math problems regarding 3-digit addition and subtraction. Students may submit their answers to be scored.

Students investigate shapes as the area changes while the perimeter remains the same. Students demonstrate the shape/perimeter/area relationship using simulations and physical models.

Fourth graders complete multi-curricular activities to learn about trucks and transportation. In this transportation lesson, 4th graders answer questions about specifics for the trucking industry including safety questions and...

Students investigate acoustical ceilings.  In this acoustical ceilings lesson, students construct a blueprint for an acoustical ceiling.  Students use area and perimeter of rectangles to construct their blueprint. ...

Students explore measuring with metric rulers. In this math lesson, students measure two-dimensional objects using metric units.

Eighth graders investigate Newton's Law of Inertia in order to create a context for the review of the use of different types of graphs. They practice gathering the data from an experiment and put it into the correct corresponding graph.

Dozens of statistical terms are defined and illustrated in this glossary.
