Classroom Olympics
As the Summer Olympics are approaching, incorporate Olympic-type games into the classroom. From straw javelin to cotton ball shot put, these games are sure to keep leaners engaged. The best part is that there is math involved! Pupils...
Curated OER
Solving Problems Using Triangle Inequality Theorem
Sixth graders investigate triangles and the inequality theorem. They will collaborate in groups to determine the length of a longest side of a triangle. Then relate the size of the triangle to its angles using protractors, yard sticks,...
Curated OER
Measurement
Students experience a positive science experiment and study fundamental concepts of measurement.
Curated OER
Measurement
Students create two prisms out of the same paper. They calcuate the number of centimeter cubes needed to fill each prism. They discover the concept of volume.
Curated OER
Giant Museum
Scholars make a giant scale model of an object. They will take a regular item and enlarge it to five times its length and width. They attempt this same concepts with a 3D model.
Illustrative Mathematics
The Pet Snake
Assess how long the class pet snake grew and how long it was when it started growing with a short worksheet. Learners use addition and subtraction strategies with measurements to answer three questions.
