Students will play the Game “Cheese Chase” where they learn about moving horizontally and vertically on a grid, which will be followed up by a variety of 40 gameboards where the students learn about naming cells in a spreadsheet. There are five activities where the students make bar graphs after interpreting data from a spreadsheet. 

This collection has resources organized by grade level teachers can use to teach math.

In this activity, learners work in groups to determine the mass and volume of four samples: glass marbles, steel washers or nuts, pieces of pine wood, and pieces of PVC pipe. Learners then plot the data points on a large class graph of mass vs. volume to discover that data points for a particular material form a straight line, the slope of which gives the density of the material.

In this activity, learners use basic measurements of the Earth and pieces of rock and iron to estimate the mass of the Earth. Learners will calculate mass, volume, and density, convert units, and employ the water displacement method. To calculate an even more accurate estimate of the mass of the Earth, this resource includes optional instructions on how to measure the iron core mass.
