Plotting with Pennies

In this math worksheet, students will create a "bridge" out of spaghetti and test it's strength with pennies. Students will record their results on a table and then graph the results.

For this stem and leaf plot worksheet, students find the dates for twenty pennies and make a stem-and-leaf plot. Students then answer the three questions about the plot.

Students rotate through work stations where they compute problems of theoretical and experimental probability. For this probability lesson plan, students use simulations of a lottery system.

Young learners explore friction. They view a video or DVD (bibliography provided) and define terms related to friction,and work in groups to experiment with the effects of friction on speed and motion using ramps and toy cars.

Students explore the area of rectangles. They practice finding area by playing an onliine computer activity where they calculate the area of a rectangle to solve a problem.
