Learning about proportions through measuring and mapping distances is the focus of this real-world math lesson that doubles as an activity. Mathematicians complete a course designed to measure and map locations in order to put the...

Seventh graders use a protractor to measure angles and solve a problem involving distance. In this measuring angles with a protractor lesson plan, 7th graders calculate the distance of a line on a diagram by using a protractor to measure...

Students discover the sum of the interior and exterior angles of several polygons. In this Geometers sketchpad lesson, students work in groups to find the stated measurements of triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons and hexagons. Students...

Students study the concepts of weight and drag while making paper helicopters. They measure how adding more weight to the helicopter changes the time for the helicopter to fall to the ground. They apply what they examine to the work of...

Learners identify and create angles. In this angle measurement lesson, students use sticks to make models of angles, then measure and name each angle.

Students find the sum of the angles of a polygon and construct a polygon given the number of sides. In this polygon lesson plan, students draw large polygons on the floor of the room. They measure the length of each side and the interior...

Students predict which of two glasses is 1/2 full using visual estimation, height measurement, and liquid measurement methods. Mathematical equations to accurately solve the problem are determined and verified.

Students explore how water shortage affects everyday life. For this social justice lesson, students discuss information about water shortage in Ghana. A water shortage simulation/game is played in which a "Canadian" team starts with a...

Students explore the process of decomposition. In this ecology and measurement lesson, students prepare a worm home to be used for vermicomposting. Students weigh a group of worms and the added food, recording this information on a data...

Young scholars observe, measure, and record the properties in making objects stick together using science tools. In this science lesson, students explore with their senses while mixing flour and water. Additionally, young scholars share...

Fourth graders make models of igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks out of different types of candy and cookies.

Seventh graders perform an experiment to determine the effect of temperature on reaction rates. In this chemistry lesson, 7th graders take measurements and record data. They create a graph and analyze results.

Students investigate measurement conversions using a visual demonstration.  In this mathematics conversions instructional activity, students create an image of a plastic gallon jug using a paint software program.  Students...

First graders conduct a poll about how people like their eggs. In this graphing lesson, 1st graders collect data about how they like their eggs. Students use a picture of themselves to place under the type of egg they like. Students then...

First graders complete activities with the story One Monday Morning in the Macmillan/McGraw Hill Textbook. In this data lesson plan, 1st graders read the story and gather data to create a picture graph. They read the graph and...

In this congruent triangles and rectangles worksheet, students solve 6 word problems where they identify whether triangles and rectangles are congruent, and construct triangles. Students must explain their reasoning and prove each answer.

Fourth graders practice finding the perimeter of shapes.  In this measurement lesson, 4th graders review the meaning of perimeter and work in groups to draw polygons with differing perimeters.  Students share their polygons...

Sixth graders work in teams to design the perfect bedroom. The teams must create a room that is functional, original, and stays within a budget of $650.

Young scholars generate plans for a fictitious road trip.  In this time management lesson, students investigate the most effective way to travel the country arriving at specific cities.  Young scholars create their plans based...

How do you solve an equation like trigonometry? Learners apply their understanding of trigonometric ratios to find unknown angles in right triangles. They learn the meaning of arcsine, arccosine, and arctangent. Problems include...

Investigate bubbles through the use of scientific inquiry. Pupils blow bubbles using several methods and measure the resulting bubble print. Measurements are recorded on a data table and transferred to a bar graph. Results are discussed...

Introduce your classes to a new world of mathematics. Pupils learn to call trigonometric ratios by their given names: sine, cosine, and tangent. They find ratios and use known ratios to discover missing sides of similar...

Can they put it all together? Ninth graders apply what they know about proofs and triangle congruence to complete these proofs. These proofs go beyond the basic triangle congruence proofs and use various properties, theorems, and...
