Measure the Length of an Object to the Nearest Inch
- Grade:
- 2
- Subject:
- Math
This measurement and data lesson focuses on measuring the length of an object to the nearest inch. The lesson includes research-based strategies and questions that help prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students line up the zero mark on the ruler with the object. Then, then find the length of the object by counting the inches to the nearest inch. Finally, they record the length and read the sentence. In addition to the lesson, there are eight pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.

Calculate the Area of a Rhombus
- Grade:
- 6
- Subject:
- Math
This math lesson teaches students how to calculate the area of a rhombus. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for standardized assessments. In this lesson, students will identify a rhombus and use one of two methods (the product of base and height or one-half the product of the diagonals) to calculate its area. In addition to the lesson, there are two pages of independent practice and three pages of periodic review with questions modeled after standardized assessments.
Compute the Variability of Data Sets
- Grade:
- 6
- Subject:
- Math
This statistics, data analysis, and probability lesson focuses on computing the median, upper quartile, and lower quartile of a data set. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read the problem, identifying the data set and what it represents as well as ordering the numbers from least to greatest. Then, they identify the median and calculate the lower quartile and the upper quartile. Finally, they interpret the answer within the context of the problem. In addition to the lesson, there are four pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.
