How can we estimate time? Have your young mathematicians make a clock. Then they compare and contrast types of clocks. They practice writing times in two different ways and make a book about telling time.

Primary graders are introduced to the concepts of pitch and volume with a reading comprehension worksheet that focuses on the physics of sound.

Seventh graders practice finding the area and perimeter of polygons. In this polygon area activity, 7th graders brainstorm shapes and take a walk to locate shapes. Students record properties of shapes and use various shapes to make...

Young mathematicians identify central angles, arcs and radius of circles in this pre-calculus instructional activity. They identify the proportion of the circle based on its radius while they convert between degrees and radians...

A fabulous plan on teaching basic concepts of measurement to young learners. Pupils use nonstandard units to measure length, practice using a ruler and a yardstick, compare the length of two objects, and perform estimations of length....

New skills are developed as students use graphing calculators and ranger technology to capture and graph the sequence of bounces a ball makes when dropped. After recording the height of four or more bounces, they use the collected data...

Students read and demonstrate eight measures of four beats. In this music reading lesson, students read and demonstrate through movement their mastery of eight measures of four beats. Students also classify instruments.

Middle schoolers explore geometry by completing a physics activity on-line. In this mass measurement lesson, pupils define the terms mass, volume, and density and identify their relationship with each other. They complete an on-line...

Fourth graders use Unifix cubes to estimate standard measurements of length, weight, and capacity. After practicing, 4th graders complete an individual assessment by the teacher where they are asked questions about measurement and...

Given a very realistic challenge, your young geometers design residential fish tanks in rectangular and triangular prism shapes. They compute the volume of water each will hold. They also determine the size of plastic covers for each...

Students discuss strategies for estimating information about various shapes. Once they draw and label four shapes with perimeters of 30 units, they calculate the areas of the figures. To complete the lesson, students offer written...

Reinforce math vocabulary instruction with a set of flash cards. Fifty-six cards offer either a bold-face word or a picture representation equipped with descriptive labels. Terms include centimeters, gallons, square units, and more!...

What is the difference between weather and climate? This is the focus question of a instructional activity that takes a deeper look at how weather data helps determine climate in a region. Using weather and climate cards,...

Fourth graders practice linear measurement skills by applying various measuring instruments to determine the heights of classmates. By measuring the heights of second graders and fourth graders, they construct tables of height and age...

Eighth graders identify the different types of measurements and the instruments used to measure each type. After taking notes, they complete a bubble chart to examine the conversion between the units. To end the lesson, they practice...

The fifth lesson of seven in the series outlines an in-depth analysis of the periodic table. After direct instruction, pupils take turns practicing in the group before beginning independent study. The assessments include a...

Your class will investigate the relationship among different triangles. This geometry lesson, demonstrates how to make a connection between triangles and the Pythagorean Theorem. They identify the missing side or angle of a triangle.

Have fun calculating angles for different polygons. The class differentiate the relationship between the interior and exterior angles of polygons. They discuss linear pair as it related the polygons and their angles. This is done as they...

Young scholars analyze a drawing of a regular octagon inscribed in a circle to determine angle measures, using knowledge of properties of regular polygons and the sums of angles in various polygons to help solve the problem. They use...

Students convert metric units of length, specifically meters, centimeters, and millimeters. For this lesson of converting measurements, students participate in various games which require them to put the measurements in order or convert...

High schoolers investigate the interior angles of a triangle. In this geometry instructional activity, students create the formula to calculate the angles inside a triangle. They observe the total sum of a triangles angle on the navigator.

High schoolers differentiate lines and angles using betweenness in this geometry lesson. They differentiate angles and lines using Cabri Jr. and analyze the data and make conjecture.

Here is a lesson that has learners take a look at corresponding parts of similar triangles, ratios of similarity, reductions and enlargements. They'll manipulate the scale factor (r) to observe the changes in similar triangles and then...

The Kuril islands stretch from Japan to Russia, and the ongoing dispute about their jurisdiction prevents many scientific research studies. Scholars learn to create a topographic profile of a specific area around their schools. Then they...
