In this measurement lesson, students follow the instructions to draw a sandbox on a grid. Students also respond to 2 short answer questions regarding the area question.

Young scholars explore geometry by conducting a science experiment. In this circumference measurement lesson plan, students review the Greek geographer Eratosthenes who first discovered the circumference of our planet. Young scholars...

Students practice math. In this measurement lesson plan, students measure their favorite candy bars to the nearest inch. They work independently to compare the different lengths of the candy bars they measure.

Measuring volume can be a mystery for 5th graders, but this hands-on activity gives the gift of discovery. The volume of simple rectangular solids and irregular shapes are calculated through various methods including displacing liquid in...

Middle schoolers explore angle measure as they estimate angle measure and measure and draw angles of less than 360 degrees. The lesson emphasizes the use of estimation when measuring angles.

Learners recognize that measuring tools can come in many different shapes and sizes. In this early childhood math lesson, students develop creative-thinking, math, and social skills as they use nontraditional measuring tools.

Young mathematicians identify central angles, arcs and radius of circles in this pre-calculus lesson. They identify the proportion of the circle based on its radius while they convert between degrees and radians measurements.

High schoolers explore quadrilaterals in this geometry lesson. They will draw a quadrilateral, measure the angles, and find the sum of the measures of the interior angles using Cabri Jr. The interactive capabilities of Cabri Jr. allow...

Students investigate shapes and sizes by creating a riddle.  In this geometry lesson, students read one of two books and investigate facts about an object's size.  Students write a riddle using the facts they have read and cut...

Young scholars relate math to real life scenarios. In this geometry activity, students launch a ball tracking each launch using a graph. They analyze their data for speed, angles and distance, trying to improve on each launch.

High schoolers investigate the sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle. They draw a triangle and measure the interior angles. Using Cabri Jr., learners find the sum of the measures of the interior angles. The lesson provides an...

Your class will investigate the relationship among different triangles. This geometry lesson, demonstrates how to make a connection between triangles and the Pythagorean Theorem. They identify the missing side or angle of a triangle.

Fourth graders use pattern blocks to explore areas of polygons. They explain that the answers to the area of the same polygon vary according to the units of measurement used. They visualize how different units of measurement can be used...

Students brainstorm how math is used in daily life. They develop a class list of different topic areas in which math is used and work in small groups to think of specific examples of how math is an important part of their lives.

Students estimate, measure, compute, and create patterns using jelly beans. In small groups, they solve various calculations, place jelly beans into groups, invent a new flavor, create a pattern, and complete a worksheet.

Learners estimate angle measures in this this estimating angle measures lesson. They use an application on their graphing calculator that shows various settings involving angles and then they estimate the angle measure of a clock's...

Young scholars review estimation, measurement, fractions, decimals while familiarizing themselves with a new classroom at the beginning of the year.

Collaborative groups work with geometry manipulatives to investigate conjectures about angles. They create a graphic organizer to use in summarizing relationships among angles in intersecting, perpendicular and parallel lines cut by a...

Students analyze data using central tendencies. In this statistics lesson, students collect and analyze data using the mean, median and mode. They create a power point representing the different measures of central tendency.

Young scholars explore "area."  In this tangram geometry and measurement lesson, students arrange tangram pieces to find the area of characters presented in a story they listen to on a website.  Website information and related...

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...
