Second graders understand the appropriate sizes for food portions. In this food groups lesson, 2nd graders create and measure a meal using correct portion sizes and correct measurements.

Students research the impact of craters. In this range, mean, median and mode lesson plan, students complete an experiment with a marble to simulate the effects of a crater. Students collect and analyze data finding the range, mean,...

Students analyze the relationship between radius and diameter.  Students read Sir Cumference and the First Round Table then take measurements of circular items from around the room.  Students compute the radius, diameter...

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.

Students study West Virginia quilts. For this mathematics lesson, students use symmetry, geometric shapes, and patterns to create their own quilt square.

Students find examples of the Golden Ratio on the human body through measurement. Additionally, students learn about the use of the Golden Ratio and the Golden Rectangle in art and architecture. A very interesting lesson for the students!

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 identify how to use a scatterplot to compare two sets of data to determine if they are related. Then they identify and describe the definition of regression line (the "line of best fit"). Students also identify how scientists...

In this circle graphs worksheet, students solve 6 word problems based on a circle graph about the most popular classes for sixth graders. Students calculate angle measures of circles for 2 of the problems.

Students practice measurement using real world objects. In this scavenger hunt for lengths lesson, students collaborate to measure with rulers, yardsticks, trundle wheels, and tape measures.  Students must estimate the length then...

Students investigate an accident and relate it to math. In this trigonometry lesson, students measure the accident scene, the friction produced, and the speed from the skid marks. They create a poster of their findings.

Seventh graders investigate a ratio found in nature and in numerous pieces of artwork throughout history. The instructional activity is cross-curricular and builds a sense of appreciation of design for students.

In this triangles worksheet, students solve six word problems where they determine the angles measures in different triangles.

Students discover the Pythagorean Theorem.  In this discovering the Pythagorean Theorem lesson, students measure the lengths of various triangles to the nearest centimeter. Students record their measurements in a table. ...

Students make fudge after reading fractional values in recipes and finding equivalent fractions to those presented in the recipes. They study measurement abbreviations.

Third graders review important vocabulary to explain measures of central tendency and reaction time. In pairs, they measure reaction time of dropping and catching a ruler. Data is collected after repeated catches and information is...
