A worksheet is provided for helping students compute the distance a stewardess walks while serving meals to passengers. (DT)

Students calculated the potential speed of a 10-speed bicycle when operated in different gears from measured tire circumference and observed number of revolutions per minute. They then tested the bicycle's speed and compared achieved and theoretical speeds. Hypotheses to explain differences are solicited. (SD)

This activity, for grades 7-12, requires students to lay out an arena for training horses. To do this the students compute the sum of metric linear measures, compute the circumference of circles and semi-circles, and use the Pythagorean Theorem. (BB)

The authors present a computational skills laboratory exercise for ecology conscious students. (MN)

The construction of a measurement device to determine elevation is described. Activities for use with the device for upper elementary and secondary students are included. (CP)

A game, similar to bingo is described, in which students match names, symbols, and figures. (SD)

Students calculate the speed of cars moving on a highway as a lab activity. Directions for teachers, objectives, goals, grade level (7-12), materials and procedures are detailed. (JP)

The goals, objects, materials and grade levels are specified in this description of a laboratory activity involving analytic geometry concepts. Students mark out bicycle gymkhana courses in which directions to participants are given by Cartesian coordinates. (JP)
