In this math lesson, learners make estimates to analyze the number of apples per acre, and visualize the magnitude of one million.

Mountain Man Measurement Rendezvous
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners participate in several activities where they apply measurement skills.

Slide Rules
Source Institutions
Learners make their own simple slide rules out of paper and learn how they work.
Paper Bag Skits: Using Size and Measurement
Source Institutions
Put the math of measurement, numbers, and everyday life into improvisational skits.

Size, Mass, Area, and Volume
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 23 of PDF), learners conduct an experiment to determine how the size and mass of a projectile affects the area and the volume of an impact crater.

Sustainable Grazing
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate the food, water, and space needs of common livestock animals.

Building an Army
Source Institutions
