Make Multiple Vectors Fun! Pirate Treasure Hunt - Physics, Trigonometry

Created by

Dunigan Science

This is one of my student’s favorite activities. Who doesn’t want to go outside and map out some vectors? It works well in physics or trigonometry for understanding how to add and subtract multiple vectors. 10 different maps are provided for student groups to make their way from a single point of origin to a designated, X-marks-the-spot, using compass headings of N, S, E, and W and specified distances. The groups all have a different path but end up at the same place. At the end, students dr

Backyard Project - Perimeter, Area, and Volume - Real World Applications

Created by

Common Sense 4 the Common Core

This project is the culmination of the perimeter, area, volume unit. It can be used as a task for the Common Core, or real world application of the measurement unit. Students estimate the cost to build a backyard, with a swimming pool, deck, shed, playset area, garden, and brick walkway. Using the calculations and costs associated with purchasing materials needed to construct the different parts, students will generate the total cost of the project, without labor. With the dimensions provide

Surface Area of Prisms and Pyramids using Nets | Hands on Activity

Created by

Eugenia's Learning Tools

This product will help your kinesthetic learners make connections as they experience calculating total surface area and lateral surface area with this hands on activity. Students work in partners to determine the names of the shapes when the nets are constructed, measure the nets themselves (to the nearest half centimeter), and then calculate both the total and the lateral surface area. I have personally used this in class, even one year during a formal observation! I loved how it required my
