This problem set and educator’s guide from Space Math at NASA features 11 math problems where students, grades 6-8, use ratios and proportions to determine NASA image scales. Ideal for practicing foundational math with real heliophysics space data, educators can apply this resource to supplement solar system, lunar phase, and eclipse lessons. Students calculate scales using real space data from missions like SDO, Parker Solar Probe, and the Hubble Space Telescope.
