The Fourth Quadrant of Proportiona

Make young mathematicians' dreams a reality with this fun drawing project. Given the task of designing their dream home, students create drawings and physical models that demonstrate their understanding of proportion and scale.

In this proportions worksheet, students identify and complete 8 different problems that include using proportions to build scale models of various animals. First, they use the scale to complete the chart and draw lines representing the...

Teach the basics of measurement and conversion with a five-lesson resource that builds an understanding of proportion and measurement conversion from elementary through high school. Initially, young scholars use ratios to determine soup...

Ever wondered how many pieces of paper a binder clip can hold? Viewers of a short video are about to find out! Given measurement data for three different sized binder clips, learners must develop a method for figuring out how many pieces...

Here is a lesson on coordinates that has pupils view three Cyberchase video clips illustrating the definition of "point" and "line." Along the way, learners will discuss what characters from the videos do, and where problems lie in...

Students measure distances. In this proportions lesson, students use a map to find how far it is between different cities. Students use their knowledge of measurement, multiplication and fractions to find the distances.

Young mathematicians practice measuring acurately with a protractor. They convert measurements using a scale factor, then translate the new information into diagrams. This lesson should be a hit in that it's mostly hands-on work with the...

This interactive website allows students to practice their map skills including scale factors on a map.

In this lesson, young scholars create a class mural by using scale, ratio, and proportion. Media resources and teacher materials are included.

Learners estimate relative size and scale of humans, animals, and objects. They verify their estimations through research and measurement and then draw themselves in proportion to other creatures, both larger and smaller, in a selected...
