This tutorial makes the memorization of metric prefixes fun. Students can race the clock to see how well they have the prefixes memorized.

Use Glencoe's randomly generated self-checking quiz to test your knowledge of converting within the Metric System. Each question has a "Hint" link to help. Choose the correct answer for each problem. At the bottom of the page click the...

Students can use the converse of the Pythagorean Theorem to predict a triangle's classification. The Cabri Jr. App on the TI-83+/84+ family will be used to create triangles and find their measurements. Adobe PDF lab worksheets are included.

In this activity, students represent and analyze climate data. They use linear regressions to understand the relationship between temperatures measured in the Fahrenheit and Celsius scales and examine conversion factors.

The USA TODAY Snapshot allows students to use scientific notation with real-life data. Students will work with large numbers when determining the height of a stack of $20 bills. Unit conversion will be used from one unit of measure to...

Inside your brain, you have over 80 billion neurons - tiny brain cells, all working together to make you the person you are.Neurons talk to each other by sending electrical messages. Each message creates a tiny magnetic field. If enough...

This site gives the user background and basic information about the metric measurements for area. The site provides an area conversion calculator, basic definitions, and additional information about area.

It is very common to take data and apply the same transformation to every data point in the set. For example, we may take a set of temperatures taken in degrees fahrenheit and convert them all to degrees celsius. How would this...

In this exercise, students practice converting units (US customary). Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to get hints and try questions repeatedly.
