Learners use the Internet to delve into the relationship between fores and motion on a sizable object. They predict where they think the temperature and pressure be the greatest, and where the pressure be the lowest.

Students use the internet and other media to locate and collect information about travel. They interpret the information they collect and convert American currency to foreign currency. Students create scale drawings of travel cards.

Students examine different objects. In this appearance lesson, students watch a video about translucent, transparent and opaque objects. Students work in pairs to examine a bag of objects and then discuss the results.

Learners explore the solar system. In this planets lesson, students learn about the other planets in the solar system. They watch a video clip from National Geographic on the solar system, compare and contrast the planets and create a...

Challenge your class to use their understanding of the engineering design process to design and build a small-scale, off-road prototype for an assistive technology device. Teams select materials to build their scale models, and, using...

Teams use the design process to design, build, and test a model levee to protect the town from a wall of water. A handout provides a price list for the materials learners can use to build their levee within a budget.

High schoolers will love this geometrically exact ceramics project; they create a personalized clay box using the slab method and mathematical measurements. They utilize scoring and square construction and can decorate the boxes to...

Students solve real world problems involving area and perimeter in this unit culminating activity.

Graph polynomials and identify the end behavior of each polynomial function. The class differentiates between linear, quadratic, and other polynomial equations.

Students explore how bees make honey and why the hexagon is the best basic pattern for the honeycomb through the use of a video and hands-on activities with honeycombs and geometric shapes.

Students collect data from an experiment they perform. In this data lesson, students use multiple representations to solve practical problems; describe advantages and disadvantages of the use of each representation. Then, they evaluate...

Students utilize mathematical concepts such as: measurement, ratio and proportion and geometric probability to analyze the components of the U.S. Flag. They collect, organize and interpret data by constructing charts, tables and graphs...

Students design a ship. They calculate square footage and draw their ship to scale. They build models of their ships.

Students draw like an architect. In this interdisciplinary lesson, students research and draw several examples of different forms of architecture through societies, cultures and times, then present them to the class.

Students analyze interior design as a profession. In this interior design lesson, students design their own dream bedroom and explore interior design as a profession. Students draw a scaled drawing using graph paper and appropriate...

Pupils create a scale drawing of their own homes. They use geometric formulas to find the area of each room and the total area of the home.

Students design their own logo or picture and use a handheld GPS receiver to map it out. They write out a word or graphic on a field or playground, walk the path, and log GPS data. The results display their "art" on their GPS receiver...

In this area worksheet, students compute the area of composite figures. They read scale drawings and divide the composite figure into rectangular sections to find the total area. This one-page worksheet contains four equations.

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.

Mapmaking was a very important element in successfully planning attacks on enemies during the Civil War. Guide pupils through the process of pacing to find the average length of their steps, measure the distance between one object...

Groups work together to design a lighthouse, from designing and drawing the wiring diagram, to creating prototypes of the switch and circuit, to envisioning and building a scale model along with a blueprint. By including different...

Seventh graders design possible dream house layouts. In this architecture instructional activity, 7th graders use sketch paper and a ruler to develop several rough sketches of a dream house. Students discuss how to use a scale for...

How can 5th graders show understanding that 30 x 225 is half of 60 x 225 without completing the computation? They can use an area model and draw it out. An array, or an open array, is an area model that allows for young learners to...

Sixth graders investigate unit pricing to find which cup of coffee is a better buy. They use ratio and proportions to solve problems involving a change of scale in drawings, maps, recipes, etc. Students determine the unit cost of items...
