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.

Determine how far the ball rolled. The class watches a video of a person controlling a sphere rolling on the floor. Pupils develop some questions about the video and make estimates to the solutions of the questions. The teacher provides...

According to the resource graph, which costs more: peaches or plums? Algebra learners compare two proportional relationships and then throw in a banana. Leaving out the scale helps young scholars become intuitive about graphing. 

"Fore!" All right, no one really yells this out in miniature golf, but this well-defined activity will have your charges using lots of numbers in their unique design of a miniature golf hole. Included in the activity criteria is the...

Weathering is not necessarily a result of the weather. Scholars conduct an experiment to explore the effect of surface area and volume on the weathering process. They create their own sugar cube rocks using the same number of cubes—but...

Adjust the melting time of ice without varying the temperature! Learners experiment with different materials to decide how the materials affect the rate an ice cube melts. They then connect their findings to the conductivity of each...

In this task students are asked to combine numerous skills to create a miniature golf hole. Students create a scale drawing of the hole, calculate the area of the hole and determine the percentage of total area used. In addition,...

This is a multimedia educational resource. Some of the topics are: volume and space, computer imaging, techniques for drawing and painting and proportion and scale in art. It is divided into four different levels.

Students explore proportional relationships in this activity as they create a giant that is proportional to an original model. The proportions are graphed and students can interact with the graph to change the giant's size.
