Measures of Center
For this statistics worksheet, students find mean, median, and mode for 3 problems. They find the mean of summarized data in 2 problems.
Curated OER
Integration: Statistics, Measures of Central Tendency
Learners find the mean, median, and mode for each of four data sets. They are given two line plots, and compute the median and mode of the shown data. They find the median and mode for three stem and leaf plots. They solve two word...
Curated OER
Measuring the Effects of Gravistimulation on Plants
Students conduct an experiment to determine if a plant's response to gravity is affected by different angles of plant orientation.
Curated OER
Measuring the Wavelengths of Visible Light
Students demonstrate use of an Emission tube power supply, a diffraction grating, and a scientific calculator to determine the different wavelengths of light.
Curated OER
Fish Tanks: Volume and Surface Area
Given a very realistic challenge, your young geometers design residential fish tanks in rectangular and triangular prism shapes. They compute the volume of water each will hold. They also determine the size of plastic covers for each...
Curated OER
Polygons
Students investigate the concepts related to the study of polygons. They specifically look at how angles is related. The lesson includes specific examples and dialogue to be used by the teacher during direct instruction and independent...
Curated OER
Connecting With Coordinates
Play a coordinates game to encourage collaborative learning and grid use! Learners plot points on grids and play a game that challenges them to locate a specific point on a coordinate grid by using horizontal and vertical movements.
Curated OER
Devising a Measure for Correlation
How well does your class understand the concept of correlation? Use an activity to explore different methods of calculating correlation. Working alone and then in groups, your class will make decisions on what math to apply to the...
Curated OER
The Weight of Primates
Second graders practice their problem solving skills. For this addition and subtraction skills lesson, 2nd graders solve word problems that require them to find differences and sums. This lesson features the use of a video titled...
Curated OER
Fractions and Measurement
Using a Smart Board, or a plain ol' white board or chalkboard, the teacher pulls up a grid and demonstrates how squares and rectangles can be divided up into equal parts. The class will get their own graph paper to draw shapes and divide...
NTTI
What Size Is It Anyway?
A fabulous plan on teaching basic concepts of measurement to young learners. Pupils use nonstandard units to measure length, practice using a ruler and a yardstick, compare the length of two objects, and perform estimations of length....
