Practice the native concept of weaving with traditional classroom items. Using assorted colors of construction paper, your class will simulate how to weave. This is a great activity to connect to a Native American, Mexican, or other...

Could you reinvent the light bulb? Scholars tap into their inner Thomas Edisons to build a light bulb prototype out of a jar and some wires. They see how long the filament wire glows in the jar (batteries not included) to measure their...

Treat your class to a fun activity, complete with treats. Groups create a solar oven from a pizza box. They then use it to heat up some food ... that's what an oven is for, after all!

An interactive challenges mathematicians to round large numbers with help from a large scale that measures the weight of a blue whale. The practie's five questions include multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blank, true or false, and an open...

Connect scientific notation to a real-life situation. Measuring distances in our solar system require large numbers. As pupils make conversions using these large numbers, they begin to see the necessity of scientific notation. They...

Compare iPad and HDTV aspect ratios. Individuals use the interactive to determine whether the measurements of screens represent a Pythagorean triple. The pupils determine what changes are needed to make a Pythagorean triple.

An interactive that teaches about sonar sure sounds like fun! Junior oceanographers study the uses of sonar, past and present, in an engaging interactive. The content demonstrates how sonar works, why sound waves are a great tool...

Practice important angle vocabulary using an interactive lesson. As learners manipulate vertical angles, they watch the supplementary and congruent angles adjust. Questions pertaining to vocabulary and measurements follow their exploration.

Acute or obtuse? Seems right to me! As scholars explore the simulation, they investigate angle measures. Questions ask them to classify the angles using correct naming conventions.

Make a game of angle classification. Using the direction of the pool ball, scholars determine the measure of the created angles. They work to create and classify different types of angles throughout an engaging interactive.

Find the perfect amount of water for lemonade. Scholars solve the famous problem of measuring four liters of water using a three-liter container and a five-liter container. An interactive allows users to see each step of the solution.

Which has the higher IQ, latitude or longitude? Longitude because it has 360 degrees! The interactive introduces the way latitude is measured and why it can never have more than 90 degrees. A handful of challenge questions encourage...

Determine the shape of weight. Using the interactive, class members build a histogram displaying weight ranges collected in a P.E. class. Scholars describe the shape of the histogram and determine which measure of central tendency to use...

See how your data stacks up. Pupils stack crates of oranges in increasing order, creating a simple bar graph. Using the graph, individuals determine measures of center and describe the shape of the distribution. Scholars determine what...

Rounding fractions is the focus of a six-question interactive designed to boost concept proficiency. A measured beaker's water level increases and decreases as mathematicians move the tool to represent specific fractions. Questions...
