Big Foot

Your students will use the stories told by several witnesses to piece together what Bigfoot looks like. They will need both their reading and math skills to complete this task.

The Frankenstein Project – Metric Version

It's ALIVE!!! It's ALIVE!!! It's ALIVE!!!! If you build it, they will learn. Students will replace Dr. Frankenstein and use centimeter measurement, number sense, and proportional reasoning to build their own creature.

A Sticky Situation

Having trouble getting those geometry concepts to stick? Grab some packs of sticky notes and get your hands sticky while solving problems about area, perimeter, volume, and more!

Cup’O Marbles

This lesson is a great way to assess student understanding of multiple 8th grade standards including scientific notation and volume of spheres. Students are asked to reason about the very small and the very large as they convert from one to the other.

Cannonball

Cannonball!!! Watch out! While this lesson probably won't get you wet, it is likely to cause some knowledge overflow as you analyze patterns found in a stack of cannonballs.

Byte Me
