Matrix of Math Standards and Aeronautics Topics
6th-7th Grade Activities: PlaneMath Enterprises
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 4th or the 5th grade activities, please click here to return to the main NCTM matrix page.
Note to users of this Text Only page: The links below go to the graphics versions of each activity. Although most of the content can be read by screen-readers, there are a few charts and interactive Shockwave activities that have not been transcribed into text-only formats.
