Students investigate the linear dimension change of heated plastic film and relate the results to processing and service use of the materials. They calculate percent change in dimension as related to anisotropy and molecular reorientation.

Sixth graders study the concepts of area and dimensions. In this area and dimensions lesson, 6th graders work in pairs to complete the handout included that illustrates ways to represent various numbers. Students also determine what...

In this dimension worksheet, students determine the amount of material needed to construct three-dimensional figures. They find the dimensions of areas inscribed in given diagrams, determine the amount of profit, and the maximum flow of...

Measurement and map skills are the focus of this lesson plan, where students crawl through a "cave" made out of boxes, desks and chairs, observing the dimensions.  Your young geographers measure various aspects of the cave and...

Students determine the dimension of a subspace.  In this dimension and rank lesson, students explore the dimension of a vector space.  They compare and explore the relationship in a matrix. 

Fourth graders practice calculating area by creating a classroom quilt. Students are given a 6x6 inch square material they design based on a classroom theme. A sample of the class quilt is created using graph paper so students may...

A realistic simulation uses charts to show forces, position, velocity, and acceleration versus time based on how the simulation is set up. Once those concepts are mastered, scholars use free body diagrams to explain how each graph...

Sixth graders develop a rule for finding the volume of rectangular solids using colored cubes. They investigate the properties of solid figures and find the volume of an object by counting units. Students fill spaces with standard-sized...

Learners are introduced to units of measurement found on a ruler as well as what attributes make an object difficult or easier to measure with a ruler. The teacher has various objects placed around the room, and the youngsters practice...

In this writing worksheet, students view two and three Dimensional images of "Homer Simpson" and write a paper comparing and contrasting the two images. They are guided  by three questions as well as supplied with four links to...

In this estimation activity, 3rd graders study the 6 dimensions of a sketch of a house. Students estimate and measure 6 different sides of the house. Students check off each of 6 items that are longer than 1 decimeter.

In this volume learning exercise, 10th graders solve 10 different word problems that include determining the volume in each one. First, they determine the ratio of their radius given the cubic meters of a sphere. Then, students determine...

Geometric shapes are used in math and in art. Learners discuss the various names, dimensions, and attributes of geometric shapes, then apply that knowledge to design a vase. They use 3-D shapes to make a cubist-style vase out of clay.

Review the principles of scaling areas and draws a comparison to scaling volumes with a third dimensional measurement. The exercises continue with what happens to the volume if the dimensions are not multiplied by the same...

In this linear algebra learning exercise, students solve 3 different sets of problems that include rank, dimension, nullspace and range of linear algebra. They determine the relation between the rank of a matrix and the dimension of its...

Students examine the relationship between three dimensions and two dimensions by working with shadows of cubes and other models. Students work in groups and use Zome System Creator Kits to try and build a shape other than a cube that...

Students read facts about the Solar System. In this solar system lesson plan, students read facts on the dimensions, planets, and workings of the solar system. There is a big emphasis on Saturn.

Double, toil ,and double linear dimensions. Learners first complete an assessment investigating how doubling linear dimensions affects the area of pizzas and the volume of popcorn containers. They then complete an activity investigating...

Second graders take a field trip to a nearby church or other historical building and examine it from a mathematical perspective. In groups, they calculate the seating capacity, describe the window patterns, differentiate types of...

Using Google SketchUp, learners draw a model of their bedroom. They begin by measuring the dimensions of their bedroom, inputting this information into the software program, and calculating perimeter and area. This is an interesting and...

Did you know that some languages have no word for art? The English language does and the narrator of this short video discusses the aesthetic dimension of religious art as it "visually communicates meaning beyond language." 

Play with dimensions and practice making a two-dimensional scene look three-dimensional. Class members view pieces of art and then make their own scenes by layering different materials and drawing in details. Check out all the tabs for...

How do 2-D properties relate in 3-D? Lead the class in a discussion on how to draw and see relationships of lines and planes in three dimensions. The ability to see these relationships is critical to the further study of volume and...

Imagine drawing with zeros and ones. The third activity in a unit of 15 introduces the class to creating black and white images. Pairs get together to create an encoding scheme in order to make these images. They move on to a...
