For this converting measurements worksheet, students use the table to solve 6 story problems that require students to convert customary units and units of time.

Students review fundamental concepts of time such as A.M. and P.M. and learn about elapsed time. In this Unit of Time instructional activity, students review the basics of how to tell time and then are given examples to figure out how...

Students examine transformations. In this math lesson, students view and describe flips, slides, and turns. Students practice making transformations with shapes.

Students explore the topic of statistics with M and Ms. In this math lesson plan, students use candy pieces to sort and gather information needed to create a bar graph. This lesson can be adapted to accommodate students in grades 1-12.

Students research the impact of craters. In this range, mean, median and mode lesson, students complete an experiment with a marble to simulate the effects of a crater. Students collect and analyze data finding the range, mean, median...

Learners make fudge after reading fractional values in recipes and finding equivalent fractions to those presented in the recipes. They study measurement abbreviations.

Third graders review important vocabulary to explain measures of central tendency and reaction time. In pairs, they measure reaction time of dropping and catching a ruler. Data is collected after repeated catches and information is...

Third graders work in groups of two to three with measuring tapes, finding the circumference and diameter of teacher-selected circular items. They relate circumference and diameter measurements to find pi.

Students discover the magnitude of the number 100. The sense of the number is developed by allowing students to experience 100 by counting it, measuring it, feeling it, and doing it, hands-on

Third graders measure wind direction. In this weather activity, 3rd graders build a weather vane from a straw, skewer, spool, and flag. Students measure wind direction using their weather vane.

Learners examine proportionality in Wind in the Willows by comparing Mr. Toad, objects proportional to him and objects proportional to humans. They then measure a stuffed Mr. Toad and make common objects proportional to Mr. Toad???s...

Young scholars observe and sort tree leaves. In this earth science lesson, students observe the attributes of real leaves and measure leaves using Unifix cubes.

Students design and construct a model town. In this community instructional activity, students will collaboratively build a small town from construction paper and toys.

Ask your learners to complete activities related to Oklahoma's agriculture, berries in particular. The lesson is cross-curricular and has class members investigate an article about berries, write an acrostic poem, and discuss new...
