Matrix of Math Standards and Aeronautics Topics
4th Grade Activities: Applying Flying
Each of the lessons included in PlaneMath represent five or more of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) Math Standards, as well as two or more general aeronautics topics. To help you plan your use of PlaneMath to teach or reinforce specific concepts, we have included the following matrices indicating the math standards and aeronautics topics that correspond to each lesson. To view the matrices for the 5th or the 6th-7th grade activities, please click here to return to the main NCTM matrix page.
Note to users of this Text Only page: Some of the links below are to graphic versions of the lessons. Only three lessons currently have text-only versions: Flight Path, Plane Capacity, Runways and Takeoffs. The other lessons will be converted to text-only in the near future. Meanwhile, if you select links to another lessons, it will take you to the graphic version of the page.
