First graders explore estimating and measuring distances. They analyze and discuss a map of New York State, make estimations, measure distances using yarn, and calculate total distances between cities on the map.

Learners engage in a lesson that is about the concept of earthquake design. The lesson includes the integration of technology and how it can be used to create buildings and structures for withstanding an earthquake. Students also define...

Learners investigate the Metric System. They discuss the history of the Metric System, convert various units of measurement into the Metric System, and solve problems on a spreadsheet.

Students, working on their GED, examine the steps used to resolve the unknown sides of a right triangle. They express the square root function as an exponential function and derive the distance formula using principles of geometry.

Learners create a spreadsheet to match a given sample. This includes adjusting column width and row height, changing alignment, changing size and style of print, changing number format.

High schoolers use the internet to gather information on the Japanese Gardens. They discuss topics with a horticulturist and build a replica of the gardens at their school. They work together to identify different types of plants.

Students research topics related to space and the planets using the Internet. They explore various websites, construct scale models of the solar system, and create a travel brochure using HyperStudio computer software.

Students discover plate boundaries based on the uneven geographic occurrence of geologic hazards. After discussing geologic hazards, students plot different sets of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions on maps.

Students create an artistic crest that represents either themselves, their group of friends, or their their family.

Implement one of USA TODAY's national aligned math lesson plans into your classroom. Students will enjoy the real world context included in each of the lesson plans.

Math practice exercise on relating multiplication to real-world contexts.

This interactive Learn Alberta math resource offers a hands-on exploration of positive and negative exponents. In particular, students will work on completing patterns of base 10 exponents in a variety of forms, then look at these in the...

This lesson will provide real world examples that involve graphing exponential functions. It is 3 of 5 in the series titled "Exponential Functions in the Real World."

About how many cells are in the human body? The purpose of this task is for students to apply the concepts of mass, volume, and density in a real-world context. Aligns with G-MG.A.2.

Practice putting positive and negative fractions and decimals in order. For example, -12/4, -2.5, and 3.25. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Write an inequality to compare absolute values. Order numbers written in absolute value form from least to greatest. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

This site explains how to order numbers in ascending or descending order. The site provides games and exercises to practice the skill.

At the bottom of this page from the Georgia State University, you will two real-world applications of the Laws of Sines and Cosines (in the context of velocity vectors.)

Differential calculus is all about instantaneous rate of change. Let's see how this can be used to solve real-world word problems.

This task has students do computations with positive and negative numbers in the context of temperature. Aligns with 6.NS.C.7.b.

Solve word problems that involve real-world contexts that are modeled by sinusoidal functions. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Learners investigate how to order numbers. The educational resource consists of notes about the concept, examples, and learning games.

The purpose of this problem is to rewrite simple rational expressions in different forms to exhibit different aspects of the expression, in the context of a relevant real-world context, in this case, the fuel efficiency of a car. A-APR.D.6.

In this task, students use trigonometric functions to model the movement of a point around a wheel and through space. Students also interpret features of graphs in terms of the given real-world context. Aligns with F-TF.B.5 and F-IF.B.4.
