Pupils culminate a unit on measurement with a focus on area and perimeter. They design a floor plan of their dream room on graph paper showing the proper area and perimeter. They plan the budget for their room and make a 3-D scale model...

Students simulate the motion of a fly ball with different winds. They use a partner to provide the simulated wind. Students draw a baseball diamond and the field on a piece of paper. They drag the pen across the paper to show the path of...

Fifth graders arrange the classroom using all the moveable objects and through the exploration of area and perimeter. They determine the area of the classroom, create and label model pieces of furniture using graph paper, and create a...

Students explore the concept of fractals. In this fractal lesson, students use applets to explore Koch's Snowflake, Sierpinski's Triangle, and other fractals. Students develop these concepts through exploration and teacher guided...

Learners solve triangles using the properties if congruency. For this geometry lesson, students apply congruent and similar figures to solve real world and math problems. They show they are able to follow instructions.

Students relate miniature golf to reflection of an image. In this algebra lesson, students collect and graph data as they study linear equations. They apply properties of graphing to solve real life scenarios.

Students explore the exchange rates for five countries. They identify the units of currency of a number of countries. Students convert money amounts accurately from New Zealand dollars to another currency. They graph currency...

Students explore exchange rates. They identify the units of currency of a number of countries. Students convert money amounts accurately. They graph currency fluctuations and interpret graphs.

Students record data found at an assigned web site. In this data collection lesson, students access an assigned web site in order to complete a data chart about animals they see. They travel to different sections of the web site to find...

Students draw a ship to scale, and calculate the real life size. They show that measurements on the drawingsare annotated with the distances reported in inches (fractions and decimals), and their real-world equivalents

Young scholars convert their physical models of a playground from a previous lesson into a map of the playground that includes a scale and key. They examine and discuss examples of maps, view an image to map photo essay, and create a map...

Conduct an investigation on the plants used by the Hohokam tribe. To survive in the harsh desert environment the Hohokam used many natural resources. Learners read, research, map, and graph multiple aspects of Hohokam plant use as a...

A benthic habitat hosts a vast collection of organisms and its structure influences the biodiversity. Middle-school marine biology explorers will discuss how corals impact structure, and therefore diversity, on the ocean floor. They draw...

Second graders read the rules of how they can balance the scale by placing beans in the square, circle, and the triangle. Next, they balance 12 beans using the scale and then try to balance it with 15 beans, and then 18 beans. They then...

Students draw a floor plan of their choice.

In this probability worksheet, students draw out and fill in a probability scale of the probability of 6 scenarios happening, write down some events that only have 2 outcomes, choose 1 of the outcomes and put it on a probability scale.

Students use physical models and graphs in order to solve problems that have their origin in the real world that require algebraic thinking. The words are changed into equations and inequalities in order to be solved. This requires...

Eighth graders use the data analyzer and motion detector to collect data and measure distances. They create topographic maps drawn to scale of a given setup and relate the concepts to the creation of historical ocean maps.

Sixth graders investigate the concepts of a variable, constant, expressions, and equations. They solve problems which require the interpretation of expressions in and out of equations looking for solutions. Students also use a balance...

Student culminate a unit on potatoes. In this potato instructional activity, students make a booklet using the information acquired throughout a unit. They draw a picture of their potato, name it, measure it in inches, count its eyes,...

In this angle worksheet, students read a selection on angles and complete three short answer activities about right angles.

Students draw lines of certain lengths by using appropriate measuring tools. In this measurement lesson plan, students determine which measurement tools would be best to draw specific lengths to make a barn.

Students discover how floor plans for houses, specifically, bedrooms are made. In groups, they compare the characteristics of floor plans and zoning ordinances in order to meet the needs of those using it. To end the lesson, they...

Students measure angles.  In this angle lesson, students draw angles.  They  use a protractor to measure angles and identify the angle as straight, right, acute, or obtuse.
