Designing a deck sure demands a lot of math. Future engineers and architects learn about the areas and perimeters of squares, rectangles, triangles, and composite figures. They apply their new knowledge to design a deck with a specified...

The asteroid is getting closer and the question is whether the state of Alabraska is large enough for the shelter calculated in the previous activity. Teams determine the scale of their project and then use the scale on the map to...

You don't need a scale to determine weight. This activity provides a way to use the concepts of air pressure and surface area to determine the weight of a vehicle by calculating the amount of weight each tire supports.

Can your pupils build a roof that stands the test of time? Use an insightful engineering design project to highlight both materials science and architecture. Scholars either team up or work as individuals to design, create, and test a...

Students use Geometer's Sketchpad to examine the scale factor when in is applied to the length of a figure's sides. They look at how the scale factor affects the side lengths, perimeter, and area of the figure that result. They work with...

Students practice and determine expected values of experiments as well as distributions of experiments. They find the area of rectangles and circles and determine elementary probabilities. Probability exercises begin with quarters and...

Young scholars discover through guided, online research the life and works of Piet Mondrian in this technology-based Art lesson for the 2nd and 3rd grades. Emphasis is placed on the student creation of "Mondrian"-like drawings using...

Learners use the graph and equation of a perimeter function to find characteristics that minimizes the perimeter of a rectangle. They comprehend that in business situations, such as packaging and city planning, minimizing perimeter is an...

In this technology worksheet, students examine the basic principles of bridge building design in order to answer the nine questions with the help of the web links on page 2.

Third graders compose a postcard that includes a short letter, name, address, and postcard design.

Fifth graders review EOG math terms and definitions found in their math notebooks, and pick between 15 and 20 words to put in a word search.
