Students study West Virginia quilts. In this mathematics lesson, students use symmetry, geometric shapes, and patterns to create their own quilt square.

Students use Scion Image to estimate the proportion of space images. For this proportion lesson, students investigate the online site of Image of the Orbitor and relate the dimensions and sizes to known sizes.

Hopefully by the time high schoolers are enrolled in your chemistry class, they are skilled with unit conversion. It does not hurt, however, to take an hour early in the school year to review this vital skill. This plan simply provides a...

Second graders construct a bar graph comparing local precipitation to that of the Yucatan. In this graphing lesson, 2nd graders will use conversions and problem solving strategies.

High schoolers work with monetary exchange rates and the metric system as they simulate working to help tourists travel through Canada to Alaska.

In this decimal, meter and centimeter worksheet, students analyze units of measurement and rank them in order from smallest to largest. For the hands-on learner, students may cut out the number cards, move them around, and then place...

Power up your lessons with an energetic resource. Scholars learn about work, force, energy, and power. They consider the relationships between these quantities through hockey puck scenarios and make calculations using formulas.

In this weights and measures worksheet, students multiply ingredients given for a recipe, then convert them to new units, convert animal weights in customary units and into metric units.

Students discuss the different between the English system of measurement and the metric system. Working ins mall groups, students read the weather map. They convert temperatures from one measurement system to another.

Students 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...

Student read both Celsius and Fahrenheit temperatures on thermometers. They covert the temperatures and write poems to show understanding.

Students discuss and work with lines of symmetry. In this symmetry activity, students start with a warm up activity on metric conversion. They talk about the definition of symmetry and reflection before completing a worksheet.

The students are able to use a formula to calculate the volume of cuboids by measuring the length of each of the three dimensions. They also investigate the relationship between milliliters and cubic centimeters.

In this unit conversion worksheet, students solve six problems where they convert from one metric unit to another using the process of dimensional analysis.

Learners explore scientific notation and the structure of the metric system.  In this middle school mathematics instructional activity, students read How Much is a Million? by David M. Schwartz to introduce learners to the need for...

Students engage in a instructional activity that is concerned with the measurement of a foot as a customary unit. They take part in a series of activities to help them acquire skills of using a foot to compare other units of measurement....

Students create a table of ordered pairs, using variables (dependent and independent), writing equations, converting metric and standard measurements for distance using mileposts.

Students solve area problems.  In this area, circumference, and perimeter lesson plan, students solve area and perimeter problems using standard and metric units of measure.  They identify the best customary unit of measure for...

Students in an occupational health careers classroom review and practice finding temperature using a thermometer. They practice converting Celsius to Fahrenheit and from Fahrenheit to Celsius. They take each other's temperature and...
