Just how far away from the mean is the data point? Pupils calculate the standard deviation for a set of data and find out how many standard deviations a point is away from the mean. The teacher leads a discussion on how to calculate...

Measure your pupil's learning in a activity designed to explore decimals by weighing different candies on a scale and recording the weight. Small groups then compare and order the decimal weights on a number line to show their...

A connecting-the-dots activity seems too easy for seventh grade but connecting vertices may prove a challenge. Class members first examine a figure created by drawing squares around the inside of an octagon and connecting the...

Examine the relationship between time and geometry. A series of five lessons provides a grade-appropriate problem from elementary through high school. Each problem asks learners to compare the movement of the hands on a clock to an angle...

Young geometers become pool sharks in this analysis of the angles and lengths of a trick shot. By using angles of incidence and reflection to develop similar triangles, learners plan the exact placement of balls to make the shot....

Word problems, telling time, and reading charts all come together on this page. After reviewing a table of different travel times for a bus, a tram, a taxi, and a trolley, third graders solve word problems about arrival times and stop...

Pupils work on seven problems that use equations and expressions to solve geometry problems. The questions range from finding equivalent expressions to finding areas and volumes of figures. Learners apply their knowledge of angle...

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.

Students view a PowerPoint for a warm-up lesson. They practice measuring around the classroom, measuring such things as the length and width of a desk, pencil, door, and book. Students use a website to practice measuring angles.

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...

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 instructional...

First graders use rulers to measure in both standard notation and centimeters. In this measuring lesson, 1st graders discuss the importance of a measuring standard. Students measure in inches and centimeters. Students compare inches to...

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

In this measurement worksheet, students solve 7 word problems and 1 multiple choice test-prep question. Students use non-standard classroom items to estimate and measure objects in order to solve the problems.

Second graders participate in Math-Eze activities to comprehend word problems. In this word problem lesson plan, 2nd graders recognize why a hexagon is the best shape for a beehive. Students calculate how far bees must travel to find 2...

In this math worksheet, students use protractors to measure each of a set of angles. This is a worksheet generator, the teacher controls the minimum and maximum angles students are presented with as well as whether or not to rotate...

In this multiplication of mixed measurements worksheet, students multiply mixed standard and metric units of capacity and length. Students solve nine problems. 

In this identifying units and tools to measure worksheet, students observe pictures of objects, circle the standard or metric unit needed and the correct tool to measure. Students answer eight questions.

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

How do you measure surface tension? The fifth installment of a nine-part series is an experiment where young scientists use tubes of different sizes to measure surface tension. They calculate the average and standard deviation of the...
