This StudyCards stack enables students to review and practice using the metric system of measurement.

Students will estimate various dimensions of objects located in a classroom. After estimations are completed, students will measure objects using appropriate measuring techniques for preciseness.

In this activity students explore the use of manipulatives to conduct simple geometry and measurement activities.

This activity provides students with an opportunity to use a familiar game to determine the most appropriate units for a given situation.

One method of measuring phosphate concentration is by using a Colorimeter. This instrument measures the amount of light transmitted through a sample at a given wavelength.The amount of light absorbed is mathematically related to the...

In this activity, students will investigate properties of angles and arcs formed when chords, secants, and tangents intersect and intercept arcs in a circle. They discover several important theorems concerning circles and arc sizes. They...

In this activity, students use linear measurement and calculators to investigate the ratios between corresponding parts of regular polygons.

Students explore and use the concept of ratio in a real-world situation. They will make judgments regarding accuracy and precision of measurement.

This activity uses distance measures to investigate the relationship between a point in the plane and the distance to the endpoints of a segment. Students will investigate the implication these relationships have for the position of the...

Students will determine the approximate number of $20 bills in circulation as of December 31, 2001, using percent and total number of bills from the USA TODAY Snapshot "USA money in circulation." Students will write their answers in...

"Juice" is a slang term sometimes used for electricity. Batteries are made up of one or more cells. Cells often consist of two different materials in a solution that are connected to each other by a wire. In this experiment, you will...

In this activity, students explore the use of linear measurement and calculators to discover the existence of pi, the constant ratio between the circumference and the diameter of a circle.

In this activity, students will practice some of the basic functions of the Cabri Geometry software, including use of the Pointer, Point, Line, Measure, and Construct toolbars.

In this activity, students explore the use of nonstandard units of volume and calculators to estimate the number of peas it would take to fill a class room.

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson has students modeling a mock food fight using projectile motion. This lesson is very technology-intensive, and a CBR2 is used to measure the velocity of an object so that it's...

The USA TODAY Snapshot allows students to use scientific notation with real-life data. Students will work with large numbers when determining the height of a stack of $20 bills. Unit conversion will be used from one unit of measure to...

Students receive two Cabri Jr. files of quadrilaterals on a coordinate plane. They use their knowledge of quadrilaterals to give each one the most precise name. They may find the length and/or slope of the sides using the measuring tools...

This activity makes use of the Temperature Probe to measure the temperature of water as it cools and freezes. Students' determine and compare the freezing temperature of fresh water and ocean water.

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson introduced students to lesser-known statistical analyses. The focus of this lesson is sabermetrics, a statistical procedure used to measure a baseball player's worth or the...

Describes the properties of seawater and the variations depending on its location, e.g., near a shoreline, in an estuary, or as sea ice. Discusses the instruments scientists use to measure the density of water and explains other...

Students construct a line parallel to the base of a triangle and measure the angles formed. They use the construction to prove that the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees.

This activity is designed as an introduction to using the Carbri Jr. application on the TI-83+/84+ calculators. Students are guided through the menu system and are shown how to draw triangles, quadrilaterals and and a pentagon. Perimeter...

Students learn the conversion relationship between inches and centimeters through data collection. The data collected results from measuring items using inches and centimeters as the units. They use a TI-73 to input the data into lists...

The objective of this lesson is to have students determine the scale of a model when compared to the actual object. They will measure parts of the actual object and then compare the corresponding part of the model to determine the scale...
