Students complete a number of practical measuring investigations, with an emphasis on accuracy of measuring and communication of their findings. They examine how to measure by first becoming aware of the physical attributes of objects...

Third graders use whole numbers and fractions to make connections between abstractions of the mathematical world and the real world. In this fractions and measurement lesson, 3rd graders identify, quantify groups , and measure distances....

Students identify the radius and diameter of a circle. In this geometry instructional activity, students calculate the volume and area of a cylinder and circle. They relate the circumference of a circle to Pi.

High schoolers will love this geometrically exact ceramics project; they create a personalized clay box using the slab method and mathematical measurements. They utilize scoring and square construction and can decorate the boxes to...

First graders explore number sense by participating in a measurement estimation activity. In this weight lesson, 1st graders discuss the differences between measurement units, both English and Metric. Students examine a loaf of bread to...

Young scholars find the volume and surface area of a rectangular box (e.g., a cereal box), and then figure out how to convert that box into a new, cubical box having the same volume as the original. As they construct the new, cube-shaped...

Students calculate the area under a curve. In this calculus lesson,students calculate the area by integrating the equation. They calculate the volume of cylindrical shapes created between graphs.

Learners find the area of a region between two curves. They integrate functions such as sin(x) and cos(x) on a given interval and find the area bounded by the two functions. Pupils use their TI-89 to aid them in finding the bounded...

Pupils investigate the formulas for volumes of various solids using the Ti-89 calculator. The instructional activity focuses on the keying sequences necessary to embed the required volume formula in a program which is then used in the...

Students identify inverse variations. In this inverse variation lesson, students explore graphs and identify the inverse variation. They write equations for the inverse variation. Students compare and contrast the inverse variation...

In this math study guide, learners solve problems previously studied throughout the school year. Problems include, but are not limited to, volume, area, perimeter, square roots, binomials, trinomials, graphing, and consumer math. This...

In this arcs and sectors worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 2 different types of problems. First, they find the radius of a circle with a given circumference. Then, students find the perimeter of the given sector and the area of...

In this integral worksheet, students determine the area of a region bounded by given lines.  They compute the volume of a solid in a specified region.  This two-page worksheet contains 10 multi-step problems.

Third graders explore tessellations and the spatial concepts used in creating them.  In this tessellations lesson, 3rd graders rotate, reflect and transform shapes to create tessellations.  Students become familiar with the...

In this function worksheet, students are given 6 short-answer problems regarding formulas vs. functions, graphing functions and different ways to view functions.

In this calculus worksheet, students solve 28 multiple choice problems. Students find derivatives, volumes, limits, convergent series, etc.

Students listen to a portion of Handel's Water Music Suite and hypothesize about what would happen if you tapped on the edge of a glass with varying levels of water. They experiment with the glasses and, in small groups, compose their...

Students use an appropriate unit of measure to measure an item in the classroom. They create a PowerPoint to demonstrate the measurement process. Pupils are divided into pairs. Students use a concept map to discuss the terms for...

In this calculus worksheet, students solve 17 multiple choice problems. Students find limits, summations, and derivatives of functions. Students find the area of an enclosed region between two curves.

High schoolers observe demonstrations to show factors that affect rates of chemical reactions. In this rates of chemical reactions lesson plan, students investigate how catalysts, reactant concentrations, temperature and surface area...

Students use Internet activities and videos to understand the types of cells, their membranes, and the way that they reproduce. In this cellular biology lesson, students use the Internet to view videos and complete activities. They...

In this volume and surface area worksheet, students are given the volume of 4 figures and find the area. A web site reference is given for additional activities. 

Students examine perimeter and volume in a usable situation and see connections between concepts and "Real-World" situations. They design such a proposal to meet the area requirements, improve the looks of the school entrance and spend...

Learners determine the area of two objects by superimposing one on the other. They compare and order the area of different shapes by covering a larger shape with similar smaller ones. They complete these activities as different stations.
