Students create a bridge using engineering and geometric concepts. In this geometry lesson plan, students identify the missing measures of polygons sides and angles. They work together to solve real life situation using problem...

Students calculate the speed using metric measurements. In this geometry lesson, students calculate speed, distance and velocity using metric measurements. They gain inquiry and problem solving skills in this assignment.

Students measure the speed of moving marbles and use the results to calculate velocity and momentum. They analyze the events preceding a Japanese train crash.

Students pick a tree they see everyday. They measure the tree's circumference and estimate its height using similar triangles. Students are introduced to Computational Science. They use computers and calculators to compute values...

Students conduct an ice melting investigation in which they observe and measure the melting of two ice spheres. They develop a hypothesis as to which sphere will melt the fastest, collect data every ten minutes, and graph the data using...

Students investigate the concept of probability. They use example problems in order to measure the likelihood of various outcomes. The instructional activity includes dialogue to be used by the teacher during direct instruction. They...

Students explore proportions which are typical of the human body. Given a list of classic proportions from earlier centuries, students work in pairs to test the validity of the proportions. Pupils share their personal measurements. ...

In this angles, bearings and maps instructional activity, students measure angles and classify, calculate the size of unknown angles, and complete related multiple choice and word problems.

Students investigate the Winter Olympics by studying the geography of the 2010 Vancouver games.  In this competitive sports instructional activity, students identify the planning and preparation needed to produce an event like the...

In this online math learning exercise, students make conversions between days, weeks, hours, minutes and seconds. When complete, students submit their answers and get instant feedback regarding their accuracy.

In this online math learning exercise, students practice their skills regarding multiplying and dividing measures of time. This excellent resource allows the students to check their answers, and to get "hints" should they run into...

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

Students jog at the beginning of the class while learning about the Appalachian Trail. They integrate math into the lesson by adding up how many miles they have run, and comparing it to distances on a real trail map.

In this ratios worksheet, learners complete the ratios of quantities of money, time, and measurements in the lowest terms. Students complete 8 problems total on this worksheet.

Pupils use fractals to analyze nature. In this geometry lesson, students work in groups using technology and math to communicate. They identify where in the real world fractal can be seen.

Students draw cross sections of given contour maps. In this math lesson, students interpret the different symbols used in the map. They determine slope and steepness through direct measurement.
