Converting to Nautical Measurements

Behind all good design and construction lies a perfect set of plans that are created by a person who knows his, or her, math! Youngsters practice using one of the key tools of the draftsman, the ruler, to practice measuring lines to the...

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.

Quick, how many miles in a light-year? Or, how many light-years in a mile? Or, what is the current exchange rate between the US dollar and the Japanese yen? If you need to do a quick conversion between units, then this app maybe just the...

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...

Converting units are ratios in disguise and can be easy solve. Although this video is the last in a series about different methods to solve ratio problems, it does not have to be used in conjunction with this series. It introduces the...

Proportional reasoning, ratio, and indirect measurement come to life in a series of seven lessons. Learners will convert measurements into customary and metric units. They also use real-world examples to solve problems involving scale as...

In this fractions, decimals, and percents lessons, students explore various methods of representing fractions. They demonstrate situations that represent rational numbers. Students create a foldable exploring fractions, decimals and...

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.

Students 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...

Students explore the concept of measurement. For this measurement lesson, students determine appropriate units of measure for objects in the classroom. Students discuss the importance of measuring objects with the same unit of measure.
