Students participate in a metric Olympics. For this metric measurement lesson, students participate in 6 events that require them to predict, estimate, and measure lengths, masses, and area in metric units.

Sixth graders explore space science by measuring distances between planets. In this solar system lesson, 6th graders view a Bill Nye video and discover the conversion between the metric system and imperial measuring systems. Students...

Students recognize the need for a standard unit of volume. They estimate and measure to the nearest liter. Also they relate the liter to the familiar everyday containers.

Middle schoolers explore measurements of rectangles. For this measurement comparison lesson, students discover the length, width, perimeter, and area of two different rectangles. Middle schoolers record their measurements on a chart to...

Students, in groups, estimate and check the weights of classroom objects using coins as the standard of measure.

In this measurements worksheet, students read the park requirements and draw a park in the grid provided. They then write down the square unit area of 5 park features.

In this drawing views of solid figures practice worksheet, learners sharpen their problem solving skills as they solve 6 story problems.

Students convert between two units as they calculate the temperature. In this algebra lesson, students collect data on seasonal climate and create a graph. They make conjectures based on their data collection.
