Sixth graders examine the causes of the stock market crash of 1929.  In this integrated math/history unit on the stock market, 6th graders study, research, and read stocks, visit a local bank, and create a PowerPoint to show the...

In this resistors worksheet, high schoolers answer 11 questions about resistors, their functions, symbols used to represent them, and they calculate resistance values.

Young scholars examine composition of dirty bomb and its possible effects on a city, and investigate simulations of such an event; students use computational and problem solving skills to assess damage and prepare report proposing...

Students compare the lengths of whales using different lengths of rope. They illustrate one whale in life-size proportion.

First graders discuss what they know about birds and share picture books. They read text on the page and discuss the question and draw the flying bird on their paper by having them look at the color drawing of the bird.

Students are introduced to polyhedrons through using straw models to explore geometric solids and constructing Christmas tree ornaments using Epsom salt crystals. Students will view interactive videos and investigate and retrieve...

In this measurement worksheet, students measure distance with a provided ruler. Using the provided map scale, students determine the actual distance between objects. They may set up proportions to evaluate each situation.

Eighth graders participate in using algebraic proportional reasoning to find the missing amount that balances on a scale. Substitution is used to discover the missing objects on a scale. They answer multiple choice questions that are...

Students explore aspects of the Vietnam War and how it relates to the heritage of America. In an attempt to understand the level of involvement, students analyze statistics from the Vietnam war. Students watch a video, read a book, and...

Young scholars build and apply concepts of geometry. In this geometry lesson, students create a building using proportions and scale drawings. They use Cabri technology to create a virtual drawing first.

Students construct using Cabri software. In this geometry lesson, students convert between units and apply the correct measurements to build objects. They create the room virtually and manipulate the shapes to the desired measurements.

Pupils discuss different types of maps, their similarities and differences. Using a Topographical Maps CD-rom program students create their own map.

Learners solve triangles using the properties if congruency. For this geometry lesson, students apply congruent and similar figures to solve real world and math problems. They show they are able to follow instructions.

Learners identify and articulate pros and cons of genetically modified foods (GMF) including references to scale of controversy worldwide. Students then identify where they might find GMFs in their diets, read different opinion pieces on...

Students predict the shape of a geometric figure in 3D. In this geometry lesson, students construct 3D shapes to perfect their knowledge of measuring and predicting. This assignment is also available as an online interactive...

Eighth graders complete worksheets on reading the distance on maps in miles or kilometers. In this maps lesson plan, 8th graders use a calculator and ruler.

High schoolers differentiate between similar and congruent triangles. In this geometry lesson, students identify the angles of triangles using the similarity theorem. They apply concepts of triangles to the real world.

Students study the layer of the atmosphere. In this lesson on the atmosphere, students discuss the composition of the air around us and how the atmosphere was formed. Students create a scale model of the layers of the atmosphere.

In this similar figures worksheet, students identify corresponding sides and corresponding angles of given polygons.  They identify similar figures.  This three-page worksheet contains 18 problems.

Students investigate track and field dimensions, measure an actual track, and construct a scale model. The use of a meter stick, dimensional analysis, and the application of the distributive property to variables forms the main focus of...

Students explore the exchange rates for five countries. They identify the units of currency of a number of countries. Students convert money amounts accurately from New Zealand dollars to another currency. They graph currency...

Students explore exchange rates. They identify the units of currency of a number of countries. Students convert money amounts accurately. They graph currency fluctuations and interpret graphs.

Second graders receive an "Expedition Ticket" to travel through the Polar Regions- the Arctic and the Antarctic. They research polar bears and make drawings that are to scale.

Seventh graders discuss the elements of maps and using basic linear measurement. They calculate the distance between the cities and create a simulated journey around New Mexico using a road map. They write out the directions for their...
