In this measuring lengths using metric rulers worksheet, students measure in centimeters and convert the measurement to meters. Students solve 5 problems.

First graders participate in a simulation involving newspaper, food coloring, water, and more to observe the debarking process of producing wood. In this wood lesson plan, 1st graders also measure, and learn about reducing, reusing, and...

Students investigate the amount of rain that falls in their area through the construction and monitoring of a rain gauge. The gauge is observed for one week, recordings are made, and observations described in a chart.

Young scholars utilize triangulation techniques to determine altitudes of objects. An altitude locator is constructed and used to determine the height of a building or a tree. Tangent tables and formulas provide the ratio for the formula...

Fifth graders design their own house, while also using problem-solving skills involving perimeter and area. They exchange houses with a partner and find the perimeter and area of the window, doors, and front side of the house.

Students construct the formula for the area of a rectangle.

Eighth graders investigate what would happen to the length of a rubber band as more and more rings were hung on it. They base their explanation on what they observed, and as they develop cognitive skills, they should be able to...

Students keep a detailed records of the growth and development of their larvae. They fill out an observation chart every day during the larval stage, and every4-5 days during the pupa stage. They summarize all of their data on a class...

Eighth graders study the scientific fields and how information can be monitored and recorded.  In this scientific inquiry activity students view a PowerPoint presentation and complete a hands on activity. 

Have you ever examined a pumpkin and estimated the number of lines it has? For this math lesson, students count the actual number of lines, record and graph the results. They investigate the circumference, weight and buoyancy of the...

Reinforce math vocabulary instruction with a set of flash cards. Fifty-six cards offer either a bold-face word or a picture representation equipped with descriptive labels. Terms include centimeters, gallons, square units, and more!...

Determine how cup stacking relates to linear equations. Pupils stack cups and record the heights. Using the data collected, learners develop a linear equation that models the height. The scholars then interpret the slope and the...

It's assessment time! Determine your young mathematicians' understanding of elapsed time with this brief, five-question quiz.

Are there some rectangles that are more square than others? A thought-provoking task asks individuals to create a formula that objectifies the square-ness of a set of rectangles. They then use their formulas to rank a set of...

Transform pupils into mathematicians as they create their own definitions and formulas. Scholars examine an assortment of triangles and create a definition and formula for determining the sharpness of the vertex angle. The groups of...

Six questions make up a mixed practice worksheet. Scholars use their knowledge of addition, subtraction, multiplication, money, perimeter, ounces, and pounds to solve word problems with numbers up to 66,000.

Is foot length to forearm length a linear association? The class collects data of fellow scholars' foot length and the length of their forearms. They plot the data and find a line of best fit. Using that line, they make predictions of...

Reinforce math skills with an eight-page exercise comprised of 15 problems covering the concept of ratios. 

Noah didn't construct this kind of arc. High school scholars first explore how angles can be formed in circles. They then learn relationships between angles and arcs by conducting an exploratory activity where they position and draw arcs...

Representing data is as easy as pie. Class members construct pie charts given a frequency table. Individuals then determine the size of the angles needed for each sector and interpret the size of sectors within the context of frequency....

Students explore the concept of boomerangs. In this boomerang lesson, students throw homemade boomerangs at different angles to record maximum distance and if it returned or not. Students collect their boomerang data then create a...

Students investigate ways to enhance an object's flying ability.  In this model construction instructional activity, students construct two paper airplanes, one of which is twice as big as the first.  Students compare and...

Sixth graders measure distances on a map using string and a ruler. They complete mathematical word problems about measurement.
