Students find lost "treasure" using a treasure map after being shown a map that you have created where terms and symbols are discussed. The class is divided into small groups where they locate your treasure and then read a section from...

For this surface area worksheet, students find the surface are of cubes and rectangular prisms.  This one-page worksheet contains 3 problems.

In this calculating area worksheet, students find the area of complex shapes. This one-page worksheet contains 6 multi-step problems.

Students collect and interpret data to make predictions about the levels of ozone in the atmosphere. Using the internet to collect data students use their collected data to create a line graph for analysis. Students make mathematical...

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,...

Students graph the height of others in centimeters and inches, find the slope of line in order to calculate the conversion factor between centimeters and inches.

Students are introduced to significant figures and how to add, subtract, multiply and divide them. In a group, they practice plotting data points from a table to a graph and labeling all axes. They calculate the slope and y-intercept and...

Students manipulate a variety of materials and computer applets in order to explore area and the units used to measure it.

Sixth graders record the weight of themselves and 3 family over a week, and then use that data to compile 2 bar graphs and 4 line graphs and answer a series of questions.

Militaries throughout history have used topography information to plan strategies, yet many pupils today don't understand it. Scholars use Legos and a contour gauge to understand how to construct and visualize topographic profiles. This...

You've investigated relationships between chords, radii, and diameters—now it's time for arcs. Learners investigate relationships between arcs and chords. Learners then prove that congruent chords have congruent arcs, congruent arcs have...

How does radiation affect our daily lives? Answer that question and others with a lesson that discusses radiation and its use in thermal energy transfer through electromagnetic waves. Pupils investigate vaporization and...

In this significant figure worksheet, students identify significant figures. They convert numbers from standard notation to scientific notation. This one-page worksheet contains 14 problems. Answers are included at the bottom of the...

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

Students discover the concept of elapsed time. In this calculating time lesson, students utilize the Internet to complete record sheets based on the concept of elapsed time. Finally, the students answer questions on their own.

Students 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...

Twelfth graders apply estimation techniques to determine how high any one basketball player can jump.

Students 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 to...

Learners define and discuss salinity, conduct classroom experiment to determine salinity of water sample by using hydrometer, record predictions, and demonstrate understanding of how salinity influences object's ability to float in water.

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 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. Students use a snowfall "conversion" chart to measure how much...

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

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.
