A six-question interactive takes mathematicians to Lollipop Land where they manipulate lollipop trees to make equivalent ratios.  Question types include multiple-choice, true or false, and a discussion. 

Students visit a 2nd and a 4th grade class to measure the heights of older students using large building blocks as a non-standard unit of measure. They can also measure adults in the school community. Results are displayed in...

Ninth graders experiment with bouncing balls to investigate the elasticity coefficient of different sizes and types of balls. In this superball physics activity, 9th graders bounce various types of balls from differing heights. They...

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...

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.

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.

Young scholars plant sunflower seeds in plastic cups, and once germinated, these are exposed to different conditions of light levels and/or soil moisture contents. Students measure growth of the seedlings every few days using...

Students identify the "4 Steps for Kids" and how they can stay safer. In this important rules lesson, students take measurements and refer to a chart to identify their Safety Seat Number.  Students also...

Students examine a math worksheet and determine how to divide a single triangle into four of equal area. Using geometric principles, they sketch two additional ways to divide into into four equal triangles. To conclude, students...

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 calculate artifact size and ship capacity based on the excavation of an ancient Roman shipwreck.

Students study how to use the Internet as a static information collection tool, to enhance the literature stories on the weather and study how to use the calculator.

Middle schoolers examine the growth of marigolds in a greenhouse environment. They chart data in spreadsheets showing plant growth over time and under a number of conditions. They record measures of plant height and greenhouse temperature.

In this burette-use instructional activity, students are given directions for titration using a burette. They practice reaching the end point of titrations and calculate the mean volume of three trials.

In this geometry worksheet, students use the correct units to measure distance, length, diameter and height. There are 8 questions with an answer key.

Third graders describe an amount of turn from a particular position to another using the 'circular' benchmarks of 0, ++, ++, ++, and full turn. Estimation language such as 'just about', 'between', 'not quite', 'just over', and similar...

Seventh graders investigate the mathematical concept of a sector. They apply the concept to an example problem and then move into a more complex application. They find the area of the side of a cone. This is done as students calculate...

Students explore the different variables that affect surface temperature. They study how temperatures can vary widely within close proximity due to variables such as surface, directness of sunlight, and distance from buildings.

Eighth graders discover how the change in the dimensions of a shape cause a change in the overall area of the shape, but the perimeter stay the same. They, in groups, go out to the playground and construct large areas using stakes and rope.

A quick definition and the formula for finding the area of a triangle is provided at the top of this worksheet. After reading the description, 5th graders must find the area of the 3 given triangles. This is an excellent enrichment...

In this fingerprint worksheet students complete a worksheet on their physical attributes and place their fingerprints on the paper. 

Fifth graders measure their body height and the height they can jump. They use these measurements in forms of ratios, fractions and decimals to describe their Springy Legs Factors (SLF). Students compare their SLFs to other people's...

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.

Young scholars apply ideas of proportionality from "Jack and the Beanstalk." They compare objects that are proportional to Jack with those that are in proportion to the Giant. They measure their hands and use those measurements to...
