6-8
Students learn to write and solve proportions by gathering data and calculating unit rates.
6-8
Students learn the basics of the metric system. They identify which units of measurement are used to measure specific objects, and they learn to convert between units within the same system.
6-8
Students experiment with units of liquid measure used in the customary system of measurement. They practice making volume conversions in the customary system.
6-8
Students extend their knowledge of proportions to solving problems dealing with similarity. They measure the heights and shadows of familiar objects and use indirect measurement to find the heights of things that are much bigger in size, such as a flagpole, a school building, or a tree.
6-8
Students use real-world examples to solve problems involving scale as they examine maps of their home states and calculate distances between cities.
3-5
In this lesson, students conduct a survey and create bar graphs from the data they have collected.
3-5
Students conduct a survey and create pictographs and line plots. They also determine the number of possible combinations.
3-5
Students choose meals from a menu and then construct a box plot. They use the plot to identify the mean, mode, median and range of the data set.
3-5
Students will construct box plots independently. Students identify the mean, median, mode, and range of a set of data.
3-5
Students examine the role of commutativity and the multiplicative identity, play a multiplication game, and explore products where one of the factors is 6. They also create a "My Personal Multiplication Chart" to record products.
