Upper graders explore the topic of volume. For this math lesson plan, pupils count volume in cubic units, multiply to find volume, estimate volume, write a multiplication sentence to find the volume, and make a cost analysis of different...

Learners explore volume in relation to centimeter cubes and other nonstandard units of measurement using small containers. They will use hands-on materials to practice this concept. You will need small objects and containers to set this up.

Third, fourth, and fifth graders participate in measurement centers. They visit six different centers: standard and linear measurement, clocks, weight, volume, temperature, and converting measurements. They complete a data collection...

Weathering is not necessarily a result of the weather. Scholars conduct an experiment to explore the effect of surface area and volume on the weathering process. They create their own sugar cube rocks using the same number of cubes—but...

Applying this metric worksheet, mathematicians will provide standard metric units of measurement, identify the largest and best way to measure items using the metric system, and convert units using King Henry.

In this volume worksheet, students create different sized cubes and compare the sizes by pouring sand from one cube into another. Students follow 4 directions and reflect on their findings.

Five questions—multiple-choice, fill in the blank, and discussion—make up an interactive that challenges scholars to mail a teddy bear using the smallest box possible without squishing it. A box with movable sides allows mathematicians...

Learners practice estimating by handling items in groups of ten. They visualize how much space 100 items, such as pennies, peas, or beans, will take up after holding 10 of them. Learners measure the difference in volume between 10...

Linear, square, and cubic units are all investigated as different types of packages are measured. The teacher will need supplies such as a box of aluminum foil, a package of ribbon, and a bag of mulch. The class determines the...

Third graders use nonstandard concrete methods to estimate and record measurements of their body.

Students participate in five center activities in which they construct three dimensional objects using cubic centimeter manipulatives such as sugar cubes and toothpaste boxes. They determine the volume of the objects. They build a model...

Explore measuring various objects using square centimeters. Learners create various shapes using five centimeter cubes, calculate the area in square centimeters of different classroom objects, and discover who has the largest mouth,...

In this solid to liquid worksheet, learners use ice cubes and water to see how the volume of water changes when solid water turns to liquid. Students follow 4 directions and answer 5 questions.

Third graders estimate and measure the length of a whole color-segmented, candy gummy worm. Then, as students bite off each segment, they estimate, measure and record findings in an activity log.

Students discover the basic concept of measuring.  In this mathematics relationship lesson, students identify length, volume, weight, time and area in order to measure different units.  Students measure items using different...

Students performing a scene about pirates and spend time making a measuring meters incorporating the main character, Captain Blood to add interest. They use meter sticks measuring items from the play and record their answers in meters.

Students study units of measure like cups, pints, quarts and gallons. They work in groups to create their own mixtures of trail mix using the measuring cups. Then they make a gorilla puzzle using a gallon bottle.

Students experiment with a variety of materials used for insulation by melting ice cubes.

A set of 49 math vocabulary cards ranges from angle to irregular polygon to parallel lines. Each sheet contains two cards: one with the word printed in bold text and the other with the definition.

Ice is nice, and its condition on the planet has a significant effect. Junior geoscientists experiment with ice melting in both water and on land to discover how each affect the rising sea level. This detailed lesson outline even...

With the help of the Area Officers and Perimeter Patrol, you learners will develop a better understanding of area and its relationship to perimeter. First, they view a video clip from Cyberchase, and then they visit a website to...

Third graders use pattern blocks of one shape at a time to try to create a similar shape. They compare the perimeter of the new figure with the perimeter of the original shape and look for a pattern. Students use the pattern to predict...

For this geometry worksheet, students learn about 3-D objects and how to describe them. They then answer 10 questions using the information they learned. The answers are on the last page.
