Second graders use a meter tape to compare the length of the Mayflower to a basketball court and make homemade butter for crackers. Afterward, all students sit inside the makeshift Mayflower's dimensions and enjoy their Pilgrim butter.

Students calculate the mean, median, mode, range, and interquartile range for a set of data. They create a box and whisker plot using paper, pencil and technology.

Learners collect statistical data.  In groups, students play a dart game and then determine the distance between darts.  They collect the data and plot the information on a coordinate plane.  They identify the mean and the...

Third graders explore the concept of linear measurements and how they work. Coins are used to reinforce the process.

Students identify units of measurement. In this measurement instructional activity, students predict the length and width of their hands and feet. Students discuss their findings and if their predictions were correct.

Sixth graders investigate metric measurements. In this metric measurement activity, 6th graders explore mass, capacity, and length. Students examine graduated cylinders and balance scales to obtain measurements. Resources are provided.

Seventh graders perform an experiment to determine the effect of temperature on reaction rates. In this chemistry lesson, 7th graders take measurements and record data. They create a graph and analyze results.

Third graders create a shipping box from a cardboard material. In this measuring lesson, 3rd graders read the book Henry's Freedom Box and discuss the main idea. In the story a slave ships himself to freedom and the students measure and...

Students rotate through six studying stations solving problems that involve applying and interpreting aspects of mass. They solve various word problems, and measure the contents of cans and calculate the mass of two cans.

Learners explore angle relationships and measure angles with a protractor by hand and online. They explore various websites and complete online activities and complete a worksheet.

For this statistical process control worksheet, students solve and complete 15 various types of problems. First, they estimate the standard deviation of the given process. Then, students use the target value as a center line and draw a...

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...
