Converting to Nautical Measurements

Students convert degrees between two different units. In this algebra lesson, students graph linear equations and identify the line of best fit. They use their line of best fit to make predictions given a set of data.

Students engage in a lesson that is concerned with the measurement of a foot as a customary unit. They take part in a series of activities to help them acquire skills of using a foot to compare other units of measurement. The teacher...

Students explore the concept of measurement. In this measurement lesson, students discuss what specific measurement tools such as an odometer measure. Students recite a measurement poem. Students make a foldable with conversion units...

Students in this exercise are introduced to the distinct ways of measuring distance (nautical miles) and speed (knots) at sea, as well as the concepts of latitude and longitude for establishing location.

Pupils engage in a lesson that is focused upon the concept of weights and measures. They conduct experiments while classifying the quantities of different sized containers. Students compare and convert measurements like liters to...

Understand what it takes to control planes safely. The first lesson in a series of six introduces the class to the air traffic control situation. The pupils develop their understanding of units used in air travel, then learn how to read...

Students take measurements throughout the day using a simple sundial called a gnomon. They record the results on a Data Log and convert from English units to metric (S.I.) units. Data points are plotted on the same graph and analyzed.

Middle schoolers master the gathering, averaging and graphing of data. They practice conversion to metric measures. They gain fluency in the use of technology tools for math operations.

Students solve problems with percents, decimals and fractions. In this algebra lesson plan, students convert between fractions, percents and decimals. They estimate their answers and calculate their answer.

How accurate are robots? Groups draw lines by moving robots backwards and forwards by one rotation of the wheels. Using the appropriate formula, they determine the percent error in the length of the lines in relation to the calculated...
