Make young mathematicians' dreams a reality with this fun drawing project. Given the task of designing their dream home, students create drawings and physical models that demonstrate their understanding of proportion and scale.

Linear, quadratic, and now cubic functions can model real-life patterns. High schoolers create cubic regression equations to model different scenarios. They then use the regression equations to make predictions.

Students conduct an experiment. In this shadows lesson, students record the height of a meter stick. Students then cast shadows and record their length. Students compare the length of the shadow with the actual height of the meter stick.

Students measure shadows at different times of the day to determine when a shadow casts its longest and shortest shadows.

Eighth graders measure regular baseball bats and souvenir bats in centimeters. They determine how tall a person would be to be in proportion to the souvenir bat, create a poster depicting the person, and explain the proportional...

Fifth graders work in teams of four to measure the rebound heights of a tennis ball dropped from four different heights. They investigate with the bouncing balls to measure changes in the type of energy they possess.

Fourth graders measure volume, circumference, and height of fast food cups, find which one has the greatest volume, and compare/contrast those measurements to discover any correlations between them.

Students measure a set of Russian dolls using the metric system. In this measurement lesson plan, students identify certain relationships between sets of measurements by measuring a set of Russian dolls and presenting their findings to...

In this solids instructional activity, 10th graders solve and complete 10 different word problems that include determining the volume and surface area of various solids. First, they determine the surface area of a cube as described....

In this volume worksheet, students solve 6 problems related to volume; students find length, width, height and draw an item according to specification.

Students estimate heights and lengths of objects. In this measurement lesson, students estimate the length and height of various objects using non-traditional tools of measurement. This lesson also includes a video clip on measurement.

Students use hypsometers to measure tall objects.

In this density of the human body activity, students measure several parts of the body to calculate the body volume. Students convert the body volume to body mass and body density.

Young scholars translate a mathematical idea from one form to another. They compare and convert a given measurement to another unit within the same measurement system.

Students measure and analyze angles. In this trigonometry lesson, students measure angles and distances use non-traditional techniques. They identify the different ratios of sine, cosine and tangent.

Students practice the fundamentals of converting metric measurements. They translate a mathematical idea from one form to another and compare and convert a given measurement to another unit within the same measurement system. Students...

Students explore proportions which are typical of the human body. Given a list of classic proportions from earlier centuries, students work in pairs to test the validity of the proportions. Pupils share their personal measurements. ...

Students investigate snails and their physical and behavioral characteristics.  In this investigative instructional activity students create a pie chart to show the results of their findings.

In this moon worksheet, students read the book The Moon Book and list facts about the moon and draw eclipses. Students list 10 facts and draw 3 kinds of eclipses.

Students study how to mark inclines and construct a mountain profile.  In this topographic map lesson students mark contour intervals and draw mountain profiles. 

Learners experiment with velocity, ratios, and rates. In this data management lesson, students throw a dart with and without using an atlatl and collect and record various data. Learners construct ratios based on the data and determine...

Middle schoolers explore the concept of the golden ratio. In this golden ratio lesson, students measure objects to determine if their measurements fit the golden ratio. Middle schoolers calculate the average measurements of the class.

Students observ the cooling and warming of room temperature, hot, and ice cold cans of water by measuring the change in temperature over time. They then attempt to develop explanations for the observations made and apply their findings...

Eighth graders explore the concept of the divine proportion/golden ratio. In this Fibonacci Sequence exploratory lesson, 8th graders measure the length and width of various objects to see which items have a divine proportion. Students...
