Scavenger Hunt for Lengths
Young scholars practice measurement using real world objects. In this scavenger hunt for lengths activity, students collaborate to measure with rulers, yardsticks, trundle wheels, and tape measures. Young scholars must estimate the...
Curated OER
How Long? How Wide?
Second graders distinguish between and use nonstandard and standard units of measurement, use appropriate tools and techniques to measure length and width, and record and interpret data using graphs.
Curated OER
One, Two, Three...and They're Off
Students make origami frogs to race. After the race they measure the distance raced, collect the data, enter it into a chart. They then find the mean, median, and mode of the data. Next, students enter this data into Excel at which time...

Text Messaging is Time Consuming! What Gives?
The more you text, the less you study. Have classes test this hypothesis or another question related to text messages. Using real data, learners use technology to create a scatter plot and calculate a regression line. They create a dot...
Cornell University
Math Is Malleable?
Learn about polymers while playing with shrinky dinks. Young scholars create a shrinky dink design, bake it, and then record the area, volume, and thickness over time. They model the data using a graph and highlight the key features of...
Curated OER
Maximize It!
Pupils design a rectangular box without a lid that has the largest possible volume using the supplied sheet of centimeter graph paper. They work in groups to construct different size boxes to determine the largest possible volume and...
Curated OER
Units 'R Us
Second graders, using one inch grid paper, create a foot long and a yard measuring tool.
Curated OER
Standard Sizes of Paper
Young scholars measure the dimensions of different sizes of paper. Using a copy machine, they discover dilations. After enlarging and shrinking particular copies, students examine rates, ratios and percentages and discover the...
Curated OER
Correlation and Regression
In this statistics workshop students find the value of linear correlation coefficients in three situations. Students find equations of the regression lines for 4 problems.
Curated OER
Sum of Exterior Angles of Polygons
Have fun calculating angles for different polygons. The class differentiate the relationship between the interior and exterior angles of polygons. They discuss linear pair as it related the polygons and their angles. This is done as they...
Curated OER
Approximation of Pi
Young scholars explore the concept of Pi. In this Pi lesson, students measure the circumference and diameter of a circle. Young scholars record the diameter and circumference measurements from their classmates. Students...
Curated OER
What's My Pattern?
Learners recognize, describe and extend patterns in three activities. They organize data, find patterns and describe the rule for the pattern as well as use the graphing calculator to graph the data to make and test predictions. In the...
