Column Addition, 3-Digit and 4-Digit Numbers
Show scholars that if they can add two multi-digit numbers, they can add four! They complete 20 practice problems adding three and four-digit numbers. All the equations have four addends and include units. All numbers are whole numbers....
Curated OER
Ordering Sets of Measures
This isn't an ordinary number sequencing activity; as scholars put these values in order they must pay close attention to the units attached. Each set of numbers has different units of measurement, so they must convert to order them from...
Curated OER
Ordering Sets of Measures
Using numbers with varying units (money, length, volume, distance, weight), scholars put each set in order from least to greatest. There are five numbers in each set, and they are all whole numbers with units attached (numbers in each...

Study Jams! Add & Subtract with Common Denominators
RJ and Zoey are at camp and need to get back to the mess hall for lunch, but they don't know how far they have to walk. Help them figure out the distance while teaching young mathematicians how to add and subtract fractions with this...
Curated OER
Projectiles
Students measure the angle and distance of an arc. In this projectile lesson, students observe arcs created by water guns, bow and arrows, and slingshots, then work in small groups and use protractors and strings to measure the angle and...
Curated OER
Measurement 4: Linear Measure
For this measurement worksheet, students use a ruler to measure, in inches, the distance of various line segments. Then, using the scale drawing, they determine the actual distance in miles. Students may use their knowledge of...
Curated OER
Measuring Activities
Students measure using both metric and standard measures. They convert from one standard to the next while measuring distances in their home or classroom.
Curated OER
A Look At Rocks
Students write letters to organizations, such as United States Geological Society, to find out more about rocks. Students write about a pretend time they found a magic pebble. Students calculate distances to travel to see various...
Curated OER
If you are asked to convert a distance from hectometers to centimeters, how would you go about it?
Fourth graders convert measurements in the metric system. In this metric instructional activity, 4th graders convert units up to kilometers and down to millimeters. They answer word problems with conversions.
Curated OER
Distance over Time
Students analyze velocity and how it is determined. They experiment with velocity in order to measure and calculate the magnitude of speed. They use examples in their novel "Skateboard Renegade" to relate velocity to real life situations.
Curated OER
The Metric System
Applying this metric activity, 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.
Curated OER
Hands Around The World
Students engage in a lesson that is concerned with the concept of measurement. They conduct an experiment by measuring the amount of children needed to cover the distance of 50 yards. They calculate the distance around the world and how...
Curated OER
Math and Measurement
Engage the class in exploring linear measurement and map scales. They work in groups to measure various distances in the classroom and convert measurements to other units as directed by the teacher. To access this Word document, click on...
Curated OER
Choose the Units: Quiz
Quiz the class on which unit of measure would be most appropriate when determining the weight, volume, height, or distance of eight different objects. This quiz reviews liters, kilometers, milligrams, and centimeters.
