Fourth graders determine the value of ? by measuring the circumference and diameter of circular objects such as soup cans, Oreo cookies, etc..

Middle schoolers examine various triangles and discuss how similar triangles have sides that are proportional. They utilize an ancient Egyptian method to determine the height of a flagpole.

Students listen to the book, Arthur's Funny Money, then play The Price is Right game to estimate and to chart the price of items to the nearest $1.00 and $10.00. They check their estimates by counting out the actual amount in play money.

Young scholars estimate, calculate, and count back the amount of change needed from purchases made during small group activities.

Learners investigate fractions using online sources.

Second graders participate in various activities which help them explain and explain the difference between an estimate and an exact amount.

Students participate in simulation as they examine vegetation in a square meter land plot. Students construct charts and a key to make predicitons about other land plots.

Eighth graders use the unit price to compare which local grocery store has the best prices. Assign students to work with a partner and a role. One person is the recorder and the other is the mathematician.

Young scholars examine and discuss typical linear equations, and the difference between a linear and nonlinear equation. They observe examples of linear equations and complete a worksheet.
