Students order their classmates from smallest to largest foot length.  In this ordering their classmates from smallest to largest foot length lesson, students trace each of their classmates foot.  Students read a story called,...

Students create a ruler for the purpose of measurement using the standard and metric systems. The rulers are of different lengths and are compared to one another. Then students make conversions of different lengths using both systems of...

In this Pythagorean theorem worksheet, 9th graders solve and complete 6 various types of problems. First, they find the length of a right-angled triangle's hypotenuse. Then, students determine which triangle is described and explain...

In this polygon area worksheet, students answer 8 questions involving the area of several polygons. Students are given various details of the polygon and must find lengths of various polygons.

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders order the sides and angles of a triangle and determine the range of the third side of a triangle given the lengths of two sides.  The one page worksheet contains sixteen questions. ...

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders apply the Pythagorean Theorem as they determine the length of the missing leg or hypotenuse in right triangles.  The one page worksheet contains twelve questions.  Answers are...

Students study the concept of periodic motion and relate it to the movement of a pendulum. They discover that the period of a pendulum is dependent on the length of the pendulum and independent of the bob and the amplitude.

In this right triangles worksheet, 10th graders solve 10 different problems that include various right triangles. First, they find the value of a base given its hypotenuse. Then, students determine an angle given the perimeter and...

In this fractions worksheet, students analyze a data table with fractions that show screw lengths in Phillips and flat head screws. Students solve 5 word problems about equivalent fractions in the data table.

Learners explore the necessity for standards of measurement and measure length, volume, mass and angles. In this measurement lesson plan, students use their hand and foot to measure objects in the room. They compare their measurements to...

In this exploring pendulums worksheet, students experiment with pendulums they make in the lab. They vary the length of the strings and the weights to observe the changes in the pendulum's amplitude and frequency. They answer 3 analysis...

Students identify units of measurement. In this measurement instructional activity, students predict the length and width of their hands and feet. Students discuss their findings and if their predictions were correct.

In this solar storms instructional activity, students use a diagram given the location of two STEREO spacecraft satellites, a coronal mass ejection, the sun and the Earth to solve 2 problems about the coronal mass ejection. Students use...

In this ratio worksheet students use mental math to find the ratios in problems about people, distance, length, and products.

In this special triangles instructional activity, students examine given special triangles.  They determine the length of a missing side and/or the measurement of a missing angle for given triangles and quadrilaterals. ...

Students construct and compare the actions of various pendulums. In this pendulum motion lesson, students build and test different types of pendulums. They conduct experiments with the length of the swing arm and apply mathematical...

Students discover every pendulum has a natural vibration cycle that depends on its length.  In this physical science lesson, students participate in an experiment that shows the natural vibration frequency of two pendulums is the...

Students investigate non-standard linear measurement.  For this cross curriculum measurement lesson, students listen to the book Measuring Penny by Loreen Leedy, and identify pages in which non-standard measurement is used. ...
