GATE PowerPoint Discussion of Scale in Blueprints
I use this engaging, easy to follow PowerPoint to help my students gain a deeper understanding of SCALE. I used it with my 3rd-5th grade GATE students, but it would be a great introduction for middle school classes as well!
This works great with my "Blueprint for a Dream Room GATE Scale Activity", where students choose a scale to use while drawing a blueprint of their own dream room. Search for it in my store!
This PowerPoint guides students to find connections, solve word problems, discover t

Trundle Wheels -- Free! Hands-on Applied Math and Map Skills
Trundle wheels are a simplified version of a surveyor’s wheel. In this basic student edition of the trundle wheel, students roll their own version of trundle wheels across all sorts of things. They work especially well to measure curved surfaces or for applying a map’s scale of miles on highways.
A bonus to using trundle wheels in the classroom is that students must apply math skills to convert their measurements from the revolutions of the trundle wheel to yards, feet, inches, meters, centim
