Use this converting units of length worksheet to have your charges fill out a table, find the perimeters to three shapes and calculate the answers to three word problems.

One step at a time, pupils practice their measurement techniques as they analyze their stride length. They design their own procedures for measuring and relate their stride measurements to the distance traveled by making calculations.

Students discuss the many different types of animal signs that can be used to identify and track all types of animals. They examine tracks, trails, homes, territory markings, and even "scat" left by animals and attempt to identify the...

In this graphing calculator activity, learners estimate the square root of imperfect squares. Using the graphing calculator, they find decimal numbers for the square root of a function. Students answer seven short answer questions and...

Learners explore the distance formula. They use Cabri, Jr. to explore distances in a coordinate plane. The lessons requires pupils to calculate distance with both the distance formula and the Pythagorean Theorem in order to discover the...

Pupils use measuring tools and calculators to find pairs of measurement and form ratios. Learners compare ratios and make conclusions about using various different units to measure given lengths. They also discuss their results as a...

A right triangle. Two given measurements for two side lengths and one unknown length. Use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this problem and find the missing value. Squares and square roots are used in this problem and don't worry when...

Lobsters never stop growing and one lived to be almost four feet long. The Shape of Life series focuses on the body plan of lobsters including their growth patterns. It discusses the legs, appendages, and body segments as they appear...

Young scholars determine how the Pythagorean Theorem and the distance formula are related. In this rational expressions lesson, students apply radicals to solve real world problems. Young scholars take a long piece of string to create a...

Students determine the relationship between bone length and height. In groups, they are told the race and gender of the individual and discuss how this affects height. They measure the lengths of the bones in metric measurements and...
