Explore types of angles and the characteristics of each. After observing a PowerPoint Presentation, learners tour the school facilities and use a digital camera to capture prescribed angles. Using the digital pictures and written...

Pupils complete a number of practical measuring investigations, with an emphasis on accuracy of measuring and communication of their findings. They examine how to measure by first becoming aware of the physical attributes of objects and...

In this integers and measurement worksheet, young scholars solve 24 various types of problems as defined. They reduce all fractions to lowest terms. Then, students draw a diagram and show the measurements to the proper power and pi for...

Students challenge "common knowledge" against newly learned estimation strategies and put those strategies into use. They consider variables in estimating different groups of objects and practice skills of representing numbers.

Fifth graders estimate perimeter, area, and volume. They measure perimeter and area using nonstandard units of measurement. Students add and subtract non-standard units of measurement. They add mixed numbers and simplify the sum.

Fourth graders work in a group of 4 to make rectangle with a 12m length of string. They discuss its perimeter and how they would calculate its area. Then another group of 4 make another rectangle and estimate if the area would be greater...

Use STEM activities within the class to provide connections to concepts. The resource includes activities that range from working with buoyancy to building rockets and launching them. Other activities involve the engineering design...

Fifth graders investigate data from maps to solve problems. In this data lesson, 5th graders study maps and collect data from each map. Students present their data in a variety of ways and calculate the mode, mean, median, and range.

Junior geometers discover that polygons can be decomposed into triangles and that the number of triangles can be determined by a rule. Note that the Geometer’s Sketchpad® software is required to carry out all components of this...

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 solve word problems by using basic geometry. In this geometry instructional activity, students use geometric formulas to find the perimeter, area, and volume of objects. Students complete a worksheet.

Students need to be able to calculate the volume and surface area of a cuboid as well as present a systematic list of results in order to justify the minimum case. The use of three factors of 100 is also important.

Young scholars use maps and mathematics to determine the appropriate panther population in a given area. In this Florida ecology lesson plan, students research the area requirements of male and female panther and use a map to help...

Eighth graders measure in feet and inches and convert to explore the relationship between the converted measurements. In this measurement instructional activity, 8th graders use the whisker and box plot to represent the measurement of a...

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...

Students practice estiminating and measuring angles. After watching a short video, they identify angles in objects in the classroom and their homes. In groups, they participate in activities in which they are given a scenerio and are...

Students build and apply concepts of geometry. In this geometry lesson plan, students create a building using proportions and scale drawings. They use Cabri technology to create a virtual drawing first.

Students construct using Cabri software. In this geometry lesson, students convert between units and apply the correct measurements to build objects. They create the room virtually and manipulate the shapes to the desired measurements.

In this formula learning exercise, students use formulas to solve 5 word problems, showing their work. Houghton Mifflin text is referenced.

Fourth graders use Unifix cubes to estimate standard measurements of length, weight, and capacity. After practicing, 4th graders complete an individual assessment by the teacher where they are asked questions about measurement and...

Students enter a race against time to determine the maximum sized box that can be formed from a standard sheet of copy paper. The boxes are to be used to contain a valuable and rare element which is light as cotton and corrosive to all...

For this maximum and minimum worksheet, students solve and complete 10 various types of word problems. First, they find the numbers if the product of the square of one of the numbers with the cube of the other number is to be a maximum....

Students identify the ratios of different triangles. For this geometry lesson, students identify the similarity and differences of triangles. They use the navigator to move the sides of the triangle around.

 For this Integrated Algebra worksheet, students solve problems that reflect the topics covered during the course of work.  The answer key identifies each question by standard and topic.  The twenty-four page worksheet...
