As your scholars become comfortable with liquid mass and volume units, give them these addition and subtraction word problems to help apply the skill. There are no conversion or fraction skills involved. After solving four word problems,...

Young scholars use recipes to practice their fraction multiplication and division skills by calculating the amounts of ingredients needed to make specific recipes. They use these fraction skills to convert small units of cooking measures...

Learners examine the differences between snow and rain. In this precipitation lesson, students measure one inch of rain and snow to calculate the amount of liquid water. Learners use a snowfall "conversion" chart to measure how much...

Students build a hydrometer to measure the densities of fresh and salt water samples. They record the water temperature and density and use the temperature, density, and salinity conversion graph to locate the salinity. Finally,...

Students investigate the Pythagorean Theorem.  In this seventh through twelfth grade geometery lesson, students explore the Pythagorean Theorem and its converse and use it to find the length of the missing side of a right...

Students identify the most appropriate metric prefix to use. They describe the usefulness of a system based on tens. Students compare the metric system to the American system of measurement. They develop a metric flip book to use a...

Pupils calculate whether or not a mole of M&M's fill their high school. They practice factor-labeling, define a mole, and calculate the number of cubic feet per mole of M&M's. To answer the question they measure and calculate...

Learners work collaboratively to gain a better understanding of the vastness of space by scaling down the solar system. They measure by inches, gain an understanding of space, and model the distances of the planets from the sun.

Students analyze interior design as a profession. In this interior design instructional activity, students design their own dream bedroom and explore interior design as a profession. Students draw a scaled drawing using graph paper and...

For this metric system worksheet, students read about metric and place value relationships, examine some sample problems, and then complete 5 conversion charts.

Twelfth graders solve problems involving linear and angular speed. Using information about a compact disc, they solve the problem using multiple rates and conversion factors. Students also solve additional problems involving bicycle...

Young scholars explore the concepts of energy transformation and conversion. They engage in Internet and hands-on activities. Students visit the Atoms Family Website and complete a Building a Better Pyramid activity by adding...

Students engage in an experiment that tests how much air we breathe in and out during the respiration process. For this respiration lesson, students blow a typical breath's amount of air into a balloon. They use a ruler to measure the...

Students explore measuring with metric rulers. In this math lesson, students measure two-dimensional objects using metric units.

In this end of the year math test worksheet, 4th graders complete problems including addition, division, measurement, decimals, and more. Students complete 22 problems. 

Learners create a scale model of a cafeteria. In this scale lesson, groups improve their actual school cafeteria layout by taking measurements of the structure and redesigning furniture and food serving lines. They create a scale drawing...

Fourth graders convert measurements in the metric system. In this metric lesson, 4th graders convert units up to kilometers and down to millimeters. They answer word problems with conversions. 

Seventh graders research on energy conversion. After they have researched several types of energy resources, teams of two to four create posters which depict how these resources can be conserved.

Students research the Internet or create surveys to find graphable data. They collect, organize, analyze and interpret the data. Finally, they choose the appropriate type of graph to display the data and find the measures of central...

Students construct ratios using the hand as data. They use examples of cortical and trabecular bone found in the long bones to measure circumference, diameter, length, and weight of long bones. They perform computations using growth...

In this metric units worksheet, students complete problems asking which kind of metric unit is appropriate to use for certain situations. Students complete 12 multiple choice questions and 8 conversion problems.

Fifth graders practice addition, subtraction,and conversion of fractions by making cookies from a recipe. Students convert mixed number into compound fractions and combine fractions using addition in order to make a certain amount of...

Seventh graders convert fractions and decimals to percents. Using measuring cups, 7th graders model fraction/percent equivalents. They discuss how to change a decimal to a percent. Using the white boards, students review the different...

In this diagnostic test worksheet, students solve problems involving angles, parallel lines, and perpendicular lines. They identify alternate interior angles, alternate exterior angles, and corresponding angles. Students find the...
