In this recognizing map scale ratios activity, students use ratios and centimeter measurements to calculate the distances in reality. Students solve 8 problems.

Students find the areas of geometric shapes. In this geometry lesson students find and measure the sides, perimeters, and areas of quadrilaterals, triangles, and circles. Students relate the measures to the others by using formulas.

Students find the factor of proportionality in similar polygons. In this similarity of polygons lesson plan, students measure the sides and angles of polygons and derive a factor of proportionality between corresponding pairs of sides...

In this math patterns activity, students review the beginning numbers in Fibonacci's numbers, find the pattern, follow directions and problem solve to find the Golden Number and complete a chart, measure lengths of body parts and find...

Students explore reading maps. For this map reading lesson, students compare distances fom place to place. Students work in groups and predict the distance then find the actual distance using string or rulers.

Sixth graders investigate scale models of toys.  In this scale models of toys activity, 6th graders bring in toys from home to measure.  Students discuss scale and what scale is used with their toys.  Students determine...

Learners investigate measuring angles correctly through projectiles. In this geometry lesson, students launch a projectile to investigate the importance of how to measure an angle correctly and to explore trajectory. They collect...

In this math worksheet, students cut out two rulers and use them to measure a variety of items. One of the rule is in centimeters and the other is in inches.

Learners calculate pi using data on the circumference and diameter of various objects. They define key vocabulary terms, measure the circumference and diameter of various circular objects, organize the data on a table or chart, and...

Students explore the physical properties of eggs. In this scientific observation lesson, students define characteristics of eggs, measure eggs vertically and horizontally, and use the scientific method to perform simple experiments using...
