Third graders estimate and measure the length of a whole color-segmented, candy gummy worm. Then, as students bite off each segment, they estimate, measure and record findings in an activity log.

Young scholars create and give oral proposals for the construction of a gazebo using a blueprint created with Geometer's Sketchpad. They then build a gazebo model using the blueprints created and provide evidence why it should be...

Students identify the parts of an engine using a graph. In this statistics lesson, students make a graph from their collected data. They calculate the volume of a cylinder using a line of regression and a scatter plot.

In this line and angles worksheet, students explore basic geometry vocabulary.  They classify polygons.  Students determine the area and perimeter of given shapes.  They examine the parts of a circle, find volume and...

In this care homework worksheet, students add, subtract, multiply and divide numbers with decimals.  They solve problems involving mixed numbers.  Students find the area and perimeter of triangles and rectangles.  This...

Learners explore the relationship between plant roots and the soil in which they grow. They examine photos of uprooted trees and desert areas and conduct experiments designed to highlight this mutual relationship between roots and soil....

Students use measurement tools to measure the nearest 16th of an inch. They connect fractions and their decimal equivalents and compare this with other decimals. Finally, the class uses algebraic concepts and formulas to solve problems.

Third graders create a box big enough to hold a million dollars. This is a project fun to do near the winter holidays with inexpensive gifts included in the boxes. This hands-on lesson very effectively demonstrates the concept of volume.

Young scholars randomly select dimensions for three geometric shapes (square, right triangle and circle). From the graphs they compare and contrast the graphical results of each shape.

Students discover patterns and write conjectures relating to perimeters and polygons. Working in cooperative learning groups, they use manipulatives and graphic organizers to solve problems then answer a series of questions in which they...

Learners identify the stages of the water cycle. They listen to the book "Magic School Bus: Wet All Over," examine the Build Your Own Water Cycle website, predict and measure the amount of water in a jar for a week, and read a short play...

Ninth and tenth graders calculate the length, width, height, perimeter, area, volume, surface area, angle measures or sums of angle measures of common geometric figures. They solve problems involving scale drawings, models, maps or...

Get creative juices flowing when you allow groups to figure out a procedure for how to find the area of squares and rectangles. They may use the individual patchwork blocks, or they may design one using the Design Template.

Microbiology beginners feed different sweetening agents to yeast and measure carbon dioxide production to estimate energy contained in each. They set the trials up in zip-top plastic baggies and then measure gas volume by water...

How do dams support bodies of water? Scholars engage in a hands-on STEM activity where they design, build, and test dams to learn about bodies of water and how humans use natural resources. They learn how criteria and constraints affect...

In this science measurement learning exercise, students practice calculating volume, density, and area as it relates to science experiments. This learning exercise has 4 multiple choice and 2 problems to solve.

Students are shown that numeracy is all around them. They use volume, and calculate the quantity of soil required to make a garden to given instructions. Students are asked how to calculate the amount of soil required for the garden.

Students practice how to calculate volume using mummy cases. They measure using ancient Egyptian, U.S., and metric systems. They explore how to convert measurements into different systems, and discuss ratios.

Students receive a copy of a "Spaghetti Measure" task sheet along with the scoring rubric. Students preview the task and the rubric prior to starting the task. tudeThey determine the circumference of a circle of spaghetti that will...

In this metric worksheet, students examine conversion factors for length, mass, volume and area. Definitions of prefixes and metric abbreviations are identified.

Young scholars, in groups, estimate measurments and then select the tools needed and measure various items at Black Bayou Lake refuge.

In this online math learning exercise, students practice finding the perimeter and the volume of a variety of square pyramids. When complete, students submit their answers and get instant feedback regarding their accuracy.

Students discover the basic concept of measuring.  In this mathematics relationship lesson, students identify length, volume, weight, time and area in order to measure different units.  Students measure items using different...

In this Calculus worksheet, students are provided with practice problems for their exam.  Topics covered include derivatives, area bounded by a curve, local maximum, instantaneous rate of change, and the volume of a solid of...
