Class members explore how to read and use histograms by watching a video on creating and analyzing histograms. To finish, the class works on a set of questions that tests these skills.

Eighth graders use a meter stick that is placed on a horizontal surface and an object is moved along it so that the shadow length can be measured at different distances from the light source. They solve real-world problems involving...

After being introduced to the basic trigonometry functions, students calculate the height of school landmarks. They experiment with different angles to find the correct height.

Students explore about triangles and their relationship to the worlld around them. They are able to identify triangular shapes in their environment. Students are able to communicate to one another their understanding of triangles outside...

Students practice making and interpreting pie graphs so they are better able to decide if a pie chart is the appropriate form of display. Students examine included overheads of different pie charts, and directions on how to make pie...

Fifth graders explore angles by using protractors. They recognize, describe and determine the surface area and volume of three-dimensional shapes. Students recognize the right angle, acute angle, obtuse angle and vertex. They identify...

Fifth graders engage in a variety of hands-on and technology-rich activities involving the classification of quadrilaterals. They utilize protractors and rulers to investigate the characteristics of various types of quadrilaterals. They...

Students investigate geometric shapes by creating figures on a plane. For this polygon lesson, students complete a worksheet based on the angles in a power polygon. Students identify the different types of polygons and define their...

Representing data is as easy as pie. Class members construct pie charts given a frequency table. Individuals then determine the size of the angles needed for each sector and interpret the size of sectors within the context of frequency....

Scholars practice vector direction notation in multiple formats. After mastering each individually, they work to convert from one to another as one part in a series of lessons on vectors and projectiles.

In this estimating and measuring angles instructional activity, students examine 6 angles, estimate their measurements, and then measure them using a protractor.

In this angles learning exercise, students analyze a group of 8 angles. There are no directions for use, but students could measure these with a protractor or classify them as acute, right or obtuse.

Provide the class with the practice they need to become proficient at determining missing angles on a line. This very well made Powerpoint contains 5 problems where a protractor is used to help determine a missing angle on a given...

Address key vocabulary in the seventh grade Common Core Math Standards with this comprehensive list. A series of word cards is also provided that supports each term with images and examples, making this an excellent tool for teaching the...

Who knew that a possible answer to Earth's energy resource problems was lurking deep beneath the ocean's surface? Part four of a six-part series introduces Earth Science pupils to methane hydrate, a waste product of methanogens. After...

In this sun clinometer worksheet, students build a sun clinometer using a protractor, thread, straw, cardboard and a paper clip. They are graded using a rubric on their clinometer and they answer questions about the structure of their...

Middle schoolers review what they comprehend about angles. They name the differnt types of angles and define them. Students use their protractors to answer questions, the teacher walks around to look at the positioning of the...

Learners demonstrate and understanding of the three types of angles using triangles and quadrilaterals. In this angles lesson plan, students learn about acute, obtuse and right angles. They use cut-outs to find the areas of triangles and...

Young scholars explore symmetry.  In this geometry and scientific inquiry lesson, students design paper airplanes with middle line symmetry, as well as right, obtuse, and acute angles.  Young scholars measure the plane's angles...

Learners investigate how to read a topographical map and triangulate with just a map. They convert a compass measurement to a protractor measurement, reverse a bearing direction, and using a worksheet take a bearing of certain landmarks...

Young scholars identify and create angles. In this angle measurement instructional activity, students use sticks to make models of angles, then measure and name each angle.

Learners use simple machines that demonstrate force, friction, work and power. They investigate and explain simple machines.
