Have you ever examined a pumpkin and estimated the number of lines it has? For this math lesson, students count the actual number of lines, record and graph the results. They investigate the circumference, weight and buoyancy of the...

Students recognize that measuring tools can come in many different shapes and sizes. In this early childhood math lesson, students develop creative-thinking, math, and social skills as they use nontraditional measuring tools.

Students estimate the distance of student's broad jumps. This activity can take place in the block center with a small group of students. They are explained that they are going to jump from a starting point (marked with the masking...

Tell time to the half hour with these analog clocks! The first six problems invite first graders to write the correct times below, while the second set of problems provide the time and empty clock faces. A great way to review your time...

Young scholars explore the concept of equivalence as it relates to comparing concrete objects to determine greater or lesser attributes such as length and weight. In this pan balance-shapes lesson, students make estimations while...

Here is a measurement lesson focusing on length. Learners use their feet as the unit of measurement for furniture in the classroom and at home, and sketch the pieces of furniture they measured.

In this ordering by length worksheet, students with a partner study and analyze different ways to understand the concept of length better through comparing objects and pictures.

Students investigate the parts of a tree, measure its circumference and the length and width of its longest branch. The data is compiled and placed into a bar graph.

Students practice math. For this measurement lesson, students measure their favorite candy bars to the nearest inch. They work independently to compare the different lengths of the candy bars they measure.

Students use unconventional units of measure to estimate and measure.

Students are read a book about ladybugs. Using the test, they estimate which page shows the longest trip the ladybug made. They assemble their own ladybug book by following directions on a worksheet. They take measurements on each...

Students measure items using non-standard units of measure. In this measurement lesson, students listen to Dr. Seuss', The Foot Book, before using oak tag feet to measure items. They use a large foot and a smaller one to measure...

Students explore things that are their size, literally. In this early childhood lesson plan, students use their bodies for measuring and comparing sizes as they work in pairs to complete the activity.

Help your learners examine triangles. Pupils explore the different sizes and measurements of triangles. They discover triangles can be isosceles or scalene, and examine the attributes of triangles. Here is the website where you can...

Students compare and order objects according to length. They see that to conserve length, meaning that the length of an object is not altered by a change in its spatial position, even though it may appear to look longer or shorter than...

Students practice measuring items with non standard units. In this units lesson plan, students measure shapes, lengths, and classroom objects.

In this measuring worksheet, students determine the length of lines using multilink cubes. Students measure seven different lengths.

Students are asked what activities or things that they do each day. They are then asked do you do that in the morning, afternoon, or night? Students are then asked which of those things do you do first, second, third, and etc.

Students consturct cube trains and use them to measure the length of selected objects in their classroom. They first "guess" with their eyes and then hold up a cube to check their guess.
