Measuring Rainfall Activity Page
In this measurement worksheet, 4th graders measure the amount of rainfall that is shown in each of 5 cylindrical containers using either inches or centimeters. They color the rainfall amount blue.
Curated OER
Volume of Cylinders and Cones
Line drawings of a circle, a cylinder, and a cone at the top of the page contain the formulae for area and volume of each shape. Learners complete the missing information in a chart that lists diameter, radius, height, and area and...

Perimeter of Shapes
These squares and rectangles have length and width measurements with decimals; can young geometers determine the exact perimeter of each? Using a step-by-step example as guidance, they show work to find the perimeter of each of these...
Curated OER
Measure Area by Counting
If each square has sides measuring two centimeters, what is the area of this shape? Learners find area in five shapes segmented into squares with given sides. Encourage them to use square units in their answers. Next, they do the...
