Sixth graders estimate the measurement of angles and then measure the exact distance using an angle ruler. In groups, they explore shapes and recognize the characteristics acute, obtuse and right angles. Students sketch required shapes,...

Fifth graders explore geometry by exploring Pi. In this circle measurement lesson, 5th graders identify the relationship between the radius, diameter and circumference of a circle and how Pi is the key to unlocking any circular...

Third graders access information from a website about the Pilgrims trip on the Mayflower and discuss the number of people on the ship and the time they spent on the ship. They draw, label and measure the Mayflower to perspective.

Many youngsters don't understand that fitness is a life-long endeavor, and that it really pays off to be healthy. Use a spreadsheet to document progress in a fitness plan to see if there really in a benefit to running and exercise. Adapt...

Children begin by making direct comparisons between objects and putting a number of objects into order according to length. They are also introduced to measuring with multi-link cubes which allows them to compare objects which cannot be...

Students discover the relationships of the lengths of the sides of right triangles and right triangles using a series of drawings on dot paper. They investigate and solve problems of standard (customary and metric units) and non-standard...

Students identify diagrams of quadrilaterals and circles by different names and classify the figures. They name the areas for each diagram and practice solving the formulas for each.

Students will develop an understanding design space. The arrangement of shapes is taught to create simple perspective. The differences in the size of shapes is shown in order to help learners see how they should be arranged in...

Students explore the Pythagoras theorem. In this geometry activity, students make right triangles and identify the parts of the triangle. Students complete measurements of the sides of the triangle.

Graph polynomials and identify the end behavior of each polynomial function. The class differentiates between linear, quadratic, and other polynomial equations.

Sixth graders take a turn throwing the basketball and softball. They measure the distance in feet and inches between the starting and landing points of the balls. The recorder will record the distance each ball was thrown next to each...

Students explore the size of a kilometer and the time it takes to cover this distance. They develop a concept of a km. They measure a distance of 1 km and the time taken to cover it.

High schoolers perform a classroom activity of measuring the angular size of something from several distances. On the Internet, they obtain and examine images with various magnification factors and estimate the angular size of Andromeda.

Young scholars are introduced to the concept of aerial perspective and scale. Students will use satellite technology to view their neighborhoods and sketch the area surrounding their schools. They will take part in a neighborhood walk to...

Students use their geometry and trigonometry skills to determine the distance between their school and another school.

In this Olympic metrics worksheet, 6th graders solve and complete 10 different types of problems. First, they use a conversion formula to change each metric distance provided to its U.S. equivalent. Then, students find the formulas in a...

Students rotate through a variety of Olympic activities and record their results. Teams rotate through stations and practice units of measurement.

Pupils recognize the importance of maintaining a healthy body in order to participate in a physical activity for one to five minutes.

Students demonstrate our support of our troops overseas. They develop values of compassion, caring, and respect throughout the school. They participate in Physical Education class and run as part of the heart warm-up or as part of a...

Student read Sheryl Wilson's story, "A Day at the Beach" while classifying items they find. They design a chart of the items before using educational graphing software to create a graph.

Young scholars use pedometers to help track distance goals while participating in a team scooter race modeled after the Daytona 500.

Students observe how math is important in navigation and engineering. They study how surveyors use math and science to calcute, count, measure, label, and indicate distances on a map. They estimate specific distances.

Students properly leap and measure their distance. In this leaping lesson plan, students practice leaping for accuracy and proper form. Students estimate their leaps and measure with rulers. Students determine distance covered by the...

Students analyze characteristics of geometric shapes. They find shapes in their environment, and communicate why it is like the shape of their choice and not like another shape.
