Young scholars explore the concept of measurement.  In this measurement instructional activity, students collect data about themselves such as height, finger length, neck circumference, foot length, and other body...

Students measure body correctly for proper fit, observe how to properly measure body for correct pattern fit, and perform measurements on themselves and partners. Students then alter pattern pieces by adding and shortening lengths.

Students practice converting measurements using System Internationale (SI). (The metric system is now called System Internationale.) In groups, students measure various objects in the room using the SI system and the standard unit of...

Seventh graders select 6 stores and 1 restaurant at Cocowalk and measure the distance of traveling from store to store. They measure the distance from Store 1 to Store 2 and label that distance A.

Students are given a brown paper sack filled with different types of object for them to measure. They are to first estimate the length and then measure them in centimeters and millimeters.

Young scholars identify real world problems from given story problems. In this story problem lesson, students find places, events or items in the school environment that can be used to create story problems. Young scholars take a picture...

Young scholars practice measuring using the metric system and millimeters. They measure their thumbs and record their findings. Students record the findings of their classmates and find the average or mean for the two groups.

Students represent and solve problems using geometric models and apply geometric properties and relationships. They also practice constructing and measuring angles. By constructing, drawing, visualizing, and comparing geometric figures...

In this measurement worksheet, students measure distance with a provided ruler. Using the provided map scale, students determine the actual distance between objects. They may set up proportions to evaluate each situation.

Students examine the many different burial mounds in Wisconsin. In groups, they use the internet to discover how long it took to build a specific mound. They must calculate the measurements of the mound to make a scale model.

Your class is to find the percent of the lot that is not covered by a house. Make sure your pupils understand the problems before they begin. The lot is the whole of the percent problem and the house is the part. The exercise is good...

Students, in groups, measure and record each other's height. They identify measurement conversion methods and use online resources to convert measured heights to multiple systems.

Students apply their math skills to develop an accurate estimate of the height of a tall tree. Three different methods are outlined. All grade levels should be able to perform the shadow method and the proportional method.

Students practice estiminating and measuring angles. After watching a short video, they identify angles in objects in the classroom and their homes. In groups, they participate in activities in which they are given a scenerio and are...

Seventh graders measure the diameter, circumference and radius of a circle and find pi using the diameter and circumference. In this geometry lesson, 7th graders work in groups to find the diameter, radius, and circumference of circles....

Students engage in a lesson which shows them that celestial navigation is the art and science of finding one's geographic position by means of astronomical observations, particularly by measuring altitudes of celestial objects - sun,...

Students explore circumferences, diameters, and radii. In this math lesson plan, students measure circumferences in inches and compute radii and diameters, given different circumferences.

Middle schoolers identify how to use a scatterplot to compare two sets of data to determine if they are related. Then they identify and describe the definition of regression line (the "line of best fit"). Students also identify how...

Students practice using compass and calibrate their own pace, take field measurements of pre-set course with compass and pace, convert measurements into map, using angles and vectors, and make composite class map by adjusting different...

Students practice measurement using real world objects. In this scavenger hunt for lengths lesson, students collaborate to measure with rulers, yardsticks, trundle wheels, and tape measures.  Students must estimate the length then...

Students create a ruler for the purpose of measurement using the standard and metric systems. The rulers are of different lengths and are compared to one another. Then students make conversions of different lengths using both systems of...

Students roll a ball down a plank and measure the distance it travels. Students graph the distances the ball travels as they change the height of the incline (increase slope).

Students design a "dream house" and plan to install flooring, tile and other products that are bought by a certain measurement. Problem solving be used in determining how much of each product to use and the total cost of each installed.

Aspiring astronauts graph, interpret, and analyze data. They investigate the relationship between two variables in a problem situation. Using both graphic and symbolic representations they will grasp the concept of line of best fit to...
