In this angle instructional activity, eighth and ninth graders explore angles made using parallel lines and a transversal. They identify the types of angles and the characteristics of each one. Puils create drawings that illustrate angle...

Scholars explore relationships between units of measure and objects to be measured. They develop an understanding of length, area, and volume. Finally, students identify and develop their spatial sense and apply appropriate techniques,...

Which is longer? How do you know which tool to measure with? Learners review the basics of measuring length and distance, then determine which tool and which measure would be best to determine the length of eleven sets of objects. Note...

Students explore mathematics by cooking recipes in class. In this ingredient measuring lesson, students view several recipes in class they wish to cook and practice translating the recipe into a large enough creation that can feed the...

Students complete a webquest in which they explore measurement tools and techniques. After taking measurements on various objects, they compare their results to the measurements they make with rulers. They also watch a short video and...

Examine the concept of variation through observation and measurement. Middle schoolers will study a peanut and record any distinguishing characteristics visible as well as sketch their peanuts and describe them in writing. Their peanut...

Identify appropriate abbreviations, food-measurement terminology, techniques, equivalents, calculate recipe-size adjustments, and demonstrate proper measuring techniques. Identify abbreviations Compute equivalents Identify measuring...

Teams learn about the size of a nanometer by measuring objects and converting those measurements. A worksheet then tests the groups' abilities to use nanometers by having them determine the size of objects that are too small to measure.
