What would Barbie Look like if she were Real?
Ever wondered what Barbie would look like if she were real? Now you can work with your students to find out!
Part 3
In order to save you and your students time, I measured various segments of Barbie's actual doll measurements. Students can use their measurements from Parts 1 and 2 of the Human Body Proportion Lab (available on TCP) OR measure their height or foot size to determine the SCALE FACTOR between their body and the doll's body. Using the SF, students will determine Barbie's measure

Negative Numbers: Understanding Their Use
This 26-slide PowerPoint presentation serves as an introduction to negative numbers. It begins with a simulation about sea level and leads into real-world examples of negative numbers that include temperature, golf scoring, and personal budget surplus/deficit. Also covered are opposites and defining a zero point. This presentation can be covered in under 30 minutes. Use it for a full class lesson or for individuals who need to gain more understanding or missed the lesson. The content is based on

Perimeter and Area Real World Task
This task asks students to pretend they have been hired by a home improvement company to solve two problems for them. The first job requires students to examine the relationship between perimeter and area to help "Mr. Baker" design his garden. The second job focuses students on applying their understanding of area to help a family tile their kitchen. Let me know if you like it and I will upload some more tasks.

Absolute Value: Distance & Magnitude
This 18-slide PowerPoint presentation introduces students to the concept of absolute value. Material is presented that would satisfy Common Core standard CCSS.Math.Content.6.NS.C.7.C. The definition of absolute value is based on the distance from the number to zero on a number line. Magnitude is defined and discussed in detail. Simulation, examples, and practice are incorporated. The presentation can be used for full class participation or individual use. It's great for use on student accessible

City Block Math Project
This project was originally created to be used with highly gifted students in a fourth grade classroom, but can most definitely be adapted for other ages and abilities as well. Some skills that it focuses on: multiplication, division, perimeter, area, money, and drawing to scale.
For this project, I create groups of students who together design a city block based on requirements that I have given them. They must find the area of each building and will later use these areas to determine costs

Number Lines: Distance between Points
This 23-slide PowerPoint presentation is recommended as useful instruction before learning to calculate distance between points in a coordinate plane (CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.6.NS.C.8). It is meant for students who have already learned about absolute value, but have not learned about basic operations involving negative numbers yet (i.e. addition/subtraction). Students will learn how to calculate the distance between any two points on a number line using their absolute values. They will see that this s

Social Issue Project: Dangerous Dolls?
During this project, students will measure themselves, measure action figures/dolls, and scale up the doll proportionally to life size, based on their height. Then, they will trace themselves on a large piece of butcher block paper. On that same paper, they will sketch out the life-sized doll proportions and create a body outline of what the doll would look like if it were their same height. They should finish with something that looks terribly disproportionate. From there, you can have a debate

Protractors - Reading Left to Right by Shooting Pool
Have some fun!Students need more interactive visual ways to help with their understanding. Shooting Pool is a fun way to help students with learning to read a protractor with the use of the pool table. Students learn about orienting the protractor, measuring with the protractor and then hitting the white ball to send it toward the other colored ball to sink the colored ball into the pocket. This presentation focuses on a protractor that you read from left to right so that students do not get

Fraction Division using String!
After a discussion of reciprocals, students work in cooperative groups to prove the fraction division algorithm by folding lengths of string into fractional parts. After practicing by dividing a whole number length of string, they divide a fractional string length into smaller fractional parts.
Aha Moment: When finished, students will have proven why the abstract concept of fraction division is equal to multiplying by the reciprocal of the second fraction.

Discovering Pi
FOLLOW ME ON TPT!
This resource provides a guide for students to discover the ratio between circumference and diameter. The students will measure the circumference and diameter of various circles with a piece of string, then create a ratio and convert to decimal. I ask the students to bring in a circle from home previous to this lesson so that there are a variety of sizes for the students to practice on.
I use it as an exploratory lesson before I introduce pi so that the students can disco
