how can i use a egg tray to teach mathematics?

you could make confetti eggs and have the kids bust them over each others heads and everytime one gets busted, you ask how many are left and you can add eggs and ask them how many there are now. I think they'd have a lot of fun with it. Or you can use jelly beans as add and subtract with each individual tray. Tina

Everyone must drop a egg from a height and not break the egg. All you can use is rubberbands and straws. So you cover the egg with straws (2 or 3 layers) and tie the ends with the rubberbands .

That can seem like an overwhelming task. A quick way to lean the 9 x's tables is to use the finger math method. I've included a link. (The link has a few other tricks as well.) Then this is a method I used with classes from about third grade on.\n\nWrite all the tables in lists from the zero multiplication tables to the 12 times, or however far you need to learn. I used a chalkboard, but a whiteboard, or even a large sheet of paper will do.\n\nWith classes I would then say, "Ok - we have to learn all these multiplication tables!" And of course everyone would groan. But then say, "Let's look at how easy this really is."\n\nAsk yourself how many you already know. For example you probably already know all the 0 x's, the 1 x's, the 2 x's, the 5 x's, and the 10 x's, so erase all of those in both places that they appear on the board or paper. (Think about counting by 2's, 5's, and 10's if necessary.) Then go on to erase the 9 x's as you can figure these very quickly using finger math. Then look at what is left. Each one that is left appears there twice since 7 x 8 is the same as 8 x 7, so erase one of each pair. What is left are the only ones you really need to focus on for learning, and the job should seem much less intimidating to you now.\n\nThere are many on line sites to teach times tables.  These links may help.

One sheet of construction paper\nOne piece of tape (around 5 inches)\n3"x3" piece of bubble wrap\nTwo six inch pieces of string\nOne sandwich bag\n\nRoll the construction paper into a cone, securing with the tape. Put the bubble wrap into this for the egg to sit on. Then attach the sandwich bag to the two pieces of string. Then attach the pieces of string to the cone of paper. The sandwich bag will act as a parachute. The cone will absorb some of the shock, as well as the bubble wrap. I cannot swear this will work, but in theory it looks like it would.

A classic, but great visual experiment is sucking a hard boiled egg into an erlenmyer flask.  It is done by using the principles of the kinetic theory of matter.  \nAnother cool project might be doing something with dry ice.  Find a place that you can get dry ice and do fun stuff with it, like create smoke, put bubble solution in water and then drop in dry ice to make bubbles that, when you pop, let out white smoke.\n\nAnother idea might be to do some cool colorful reactions.  Make some dye molecules or something.\n\nHope one of these ideas works for you.

hmmm... depends on what is the width referring here. egg is an oblate spheroid and you cannot measure its actual width. however you can do some measurements by:\n\nlaying a boiled egg on a table and using a ruler. \n\nuse a thread and a ruler to know its circumference at any section.\n\ncut it remove the yolk and then you may measure its thickness using vernier callipers....

try this:  Stand on a lawn and throw an egg up into the air .. Just chuck it like 40 feet up and watch what happens when it lands on the lawn.  \n  Don't throw it on concrete and try to make sure it doesn't hit any rocks. \n  When I was in eigth grade and my science teacher told me to try this i was absolutly flabbergasted when I saw the results.  I ended out making 75$ from my family when I bet them I could throw an egg over the house and it wouldn't break when it landed on the other side.

Do what my parents did.\n  Make a poster of a grid of all the times tables and hang it on the back of her bedroom door, or in plain view of her bed and tell her  to look at it every morning when she's getting dressed for school.\nThrow out  a random problem in conversation every once in a while.\nNo pressure or trauma - just a single question.\n  Make her go in her room and look it up if she doesn't know it.\nHave her repeat the whole problem as well.\n   The more she sees it, the more she'll ingest it and the less stress-free the interaction about it, the less likely she is to develop an mental block against math.

To teach about the importance of minerals put a egg shell ( has calcium like bones) inside a cup with vinegar and see it go limp.\nChildren loves it and can see the importance of minerals in bone formation\nAbout carbs the best way is to bring a Cookie jar and wile they eat you tell them about energy.

I've never constructed a double helix before, but try using straws with wooden skewers run through them [to act as stabilizers] and spray-painted styrofoam balls.  I know that styrofoam balls aren't actually household items, but you can pick them up pretty easily at a local arts and crafts store.  \n\nIf the teacher doesn't mind, I suppose you could use apples and oranges...  ^^\n\nAnything that is porous and easy to skewer ought to work.  Like an eraser.

The volume of an ellipse is a calculus problem. The fact that it's eggshaped isn't enough. There are hundreds of varying ellipses, all egg shaped.

You can try these few methods that I always use to memorise my maths formula.\n\ni) Divide the menu into smaller portions, eg main course, drinks, etc. You will concentrate on one portion at a time to memorise. Look at the first few dishes, say first 4, and then write them down on a rough paper. Then cover up the menu and try writing out the first 4 dishes again. If you cannot remember, you take a quick look at the menu and then try writing again. Once you can write it out in full, you can proceed to the next 4 dishes. \n\nUse the same method to memo the next 4 dishes, however you could have forgotten the first 4 dishes. So once you finish this 2nd set of dishes, you try writing out the first set. It could be hard writing it out again. But you can take a quick look at the menu everytime you find it hard to remember. Ultimately you would want to write it out a few times without looking at the menu.\n\nAfter that, you will combine the 2 sets and try writing out the first 8 dishes without looking at the menu. Once you can do that, you proceed to the next 4 dishes using the same method above.\n\nOnce you can memo the 3rd set, you will try to write out all the sets. From set 1 to 3 all over again. So this is the way you try to add on to the things you memo.\n\nOnce you are done with the main course, you may proceed with the drinks. However, for this portion, your set 1 will be the first 4 drinks. Try to memo the first 4 drinks and proceed to the next set. You do not have to combine the main course portion with this very first set of the drinks when doing your memorising work for this portion, because you have actually separated the whole menu into portions right. The aim of this memorising work is to be able to write out each portion at one go without looking at the menu and then checking each portion to make sure that you can write them out correctly.\n\n------------------------------------\nii)Try forming words using the first letter of each dishes that are easy to remember. \nEg. \nChicken Chop\nFish and Chips\nSalmon Salad \nBig burger\nHamburger\n\nSo we have C, F, S, B, H.\nYou need to form a sentence using this few letters and this sentence can be anything that you can associate with. Can be your friends, work, home, etc. \n\nthe Cat and the Fish are Shouting at each other. i dont think we should quarrel, we should Be Happy with what we have.\n\nThis sentence is indeed very long, however knowing the context, we can shorten it \n\nCat and Fish are Shouting, Be Happy\n\nSo whenever you read out this sentence, you will visualize the cat and fish quarreling.\nThis seems tedious, however you must know that humans can remember pictures much easier than words. \n\nAn alternative is to just attach a word to each letter and dont even care about whether the sentence makes sense.\n\nC, F, S, B, H.\n\nYou can reemeber it as\n\nCome Find Star, Be Happy.\n\nIf you can remember it easily in this way, it would be good for you. It is a very good and fast method as you would find it hard to form a sentence that makes sense.\n\n----------------------------------------------\niii) Another method is to form a picture with the words or formula. This is a good way to memo formula.\nEg.\n\nChicken Chop\nFish and Chips\nSalmon Salad \nBig burger\nHamburger\n\nFor every dish, you can attach a picture to it. For example, you can attach a cresent to the letter C. Beacuse the C looks like a cresent. \nYou may wonder, " wouldn't it be easier if i just attach the picture of the real dish the its own name,"\nYes definitely, you can do that. However if you are working in a restaurant that serves foreign food or the owner gives fanciful names to the dishes, then you would find it hard to memorise.\n---------------------------------------------\nTake note:\na) It is hard to try out these new methods the first time. You need more practise. The more you do it, the more you would be used to it.\n\nb) I think the best method is method (i). I used th

Alternatively, you might way to try filling a 17" x 17" x 7" box with tiny chopped up styrofoam.  You might have to experiment with the size to make sure that the egg doesn't push all the way to the bottom and crack.  The idea is to maximize the size of the crater the egg will make without bottoming out, which means maximum distribution of transferred kinetic energy. Maybe you can have larger pieces at the bottom, and use sucessively smaller pieces towards the top of the box, to avoid having to experiment much with the sizes.

Soak a raw egg in vinegar overnigt.  The shell on the egg will become rubberized and actually bounce.

This sounds sort of like a science project our class did when I was in 8th grade.  We didn't THROW the eggs, but dropped them from the top of the football bleachers to the ground below.  Each student had to come up with their own way, and were graded according to how well they did.  If you're THROWING the egg, then my idea won't help, but if you're dropping it, it protected my egg and earned me an A+ for egg-survivibilty and creativity.\n\nI took a small container of acne wipes (like clearsil or Oxy Pads, but I used the Avon brand pads), emptied it out, and cut a hole in the lid just big enough for a cut-out from a styrofoam egg package to stick out on top.  (Just the same that ONE egg sits on.)  This made a "helmet" for my egg to poke through the top.  Then I lined the bottom of the container with fluffy cotton balls so the egg sat in there nice and cozy.  If there is room to move, it will be more likely to break.\n\nNext I filled up several ballons with helium and attached them to the container, all around in a circle so I will float down gently without spinning or turning upside down.  Can't remember how many it took, but just enough so it floats down SLOWLY, not not so many that it will float away!  I think I found out how many it took to make it float, then minus one.  On the day we dropped the eggs, mine was one of the few survivors, floating gracefully down.  When I retrieved it, I just unscrewed the lid and there was my egg, safe and sound.  :)\n\nOh, and 3 guys tried stuffing it in a pillow, but they all went SPLAT.  So that's not a good way, from what I've witnessed at least.\n\nGood luck, and I hope this helped!
