Students use technology to visit websites where they play interactive games, gather information to complete activity sheets, and complete online projects. One lesson using 'Inch By Inch' by Leo Lionni, takes students to an interactive...

First graders use rulers to measure in both standard notation and centimeters. In this measuring lesson plan, 1st graders discuss the importance of a measuring standard. Students measure in inches and centimeters. Students compare inches...

Students research the International System (SI) of units of measurements. They make measurements using the metric system. They study key concepts used in building and use of sensors, how sensors work and their role in measuring...

Students review the units of the metric system, convert from the US system of units of measure to the metric system, and estimate measures before converting between the two systems of measurement.

Fourth graders identify the attribute of volume of an object. Units of measurement are reviewed and utilized in this instructional activity.

In this trigonometry activity, students convert between degrees and radians. They use the unit circle to identify the measure of angles. There are 28 questions with an answer key.

Students explore what causes wind, why wind behaves as it does, early cultural beliefs about wind, high and low pressure systems, basic fluid dynamics, units of measurement for wind, and how lift is caused; students create and fly kites.

Young scholars identify positive and negative angles using the Unit Circle. In this pre-calculus lesson, students identify the different angles on a unit circle using the coordinate plane and the four different quadrants as a guide. They...

In this trigonometric ratios worksheet, students solve and complete 10 various types of problems. First, they write the degrees listed in radian measure. Then, students find the exact ratios for each equation. They also find the value of...
