Second graders practice measuring length and width of objects in inches. In this measurement lesson, 2nd graders use a ruler to measure the length and width of a chair, desk, and book. Students view a video, "Math Investigations II," to...

Here is a good lesson plan which invites learners to practice measurement using standard and nonstandard measuring tools. In this measurement lesson plan, learners work with length, width, height, and area. They use standard and...

Weight, time, length, cost, and mass are all things we can measure. Learners are introduced to the concepts they'll need to know before embarking on any measurement adventure. They are introduced to each type of measurement and types of...

Students identify units of measurement. In this measurement lesson, students predict the length and width of their hands and feet. Students discuss their findings and if their predictions were correct.

Young mathematicians practice measuring and graphing skills while working in groups to measure objects found in the classroom. Using their measurements, they create one bar graph displaying the lengths and another displaying the widths.

Engage young mathematicians in applying their knowledge of area and perimeter with a fun geometry lesson. Through a series of problem solving exercises, children use their math knowledge to design different-sized garden...

Learners view a PowerPoint for a warm-up lesson. They practice measuring around the classroom, measuring such things as the length and width of a desk, pencil, door, and book. Students use a website to practice measuring angles.

Reinforce measurement skills with a holiday-themed worksheet that challenges mathematicians to estimate and measure the length, width, and height of classroom objects using a gingerbread man. 

Investigate perimeter and area of polygons! For this measurement lesson, learners use index cards to create rectangles and trace their hand to estimate its area and perimeter.

Unfortunately for young mathematicians, the world isn't made entirely of parallelograms, triangles, and trapezoids. After first learning the area formulas for these common shapes, students apply this new knowledge to...

Students, using a list made up of things from around the room; estimate the distance of one of the items on the list with one unit, record their prediction, and then actually measure items with non-standard measuring devise.

Second graders distinguish between and use nonstandard and standard units of measurement, use appropriate tools and techniques to measure length and width, and record and interpret data using graphs.

Reinforce math concepts of multiplication, division, area, cups, and perimeter, with a mixed practice instructional activity that offers five word problems.

Fifth graders practice measuring items with unique tools.  In this length activity, 5th graders examine several household items and must decide if they want to use a pencil width, piece of paper, or their thumb to measure the item....

Learners measure angles using a plane table kit. In this geometry lesson, students use trigonometric identities to find the values of the length of a football field.

Here is an excellent cross-curricular lesson. Learners relate multiplication to area by making a grid on graph paper, and then creating the same grid in real space outside in the school yard.

Eighth graders discover how to compute the perimeter, area, and volume of different objects. With partners, they find and calculate the perimeter , area, and volume of 10 items each and exchange information. Students compile their...

Middle schoolers measure the length and width of their desk using their hands. They measure the length and width of their desk. Students measure the length and width of their notebooks in the same fashion as they did their desk. They...

Learners examine the concepts of area and perimeter and how they relate to a rectangle. They find the largest possible area that can be enclosed by a fixed perimeter and complete a worksheet as well as create a table of all the possible...

Students accurately measure several dimensions of common objects using calipers. They determine whether a manufactured product meets correct specifications for length, width, height, depth and diameter.

Learners study the measurement formulas for area and perimeter in real-life situations. For this area and perimeter lesson, students design a bed and arrange furniture in a hotel room using area and perimeter formulas for a 7 1/2 foot...

Students collect, organize, and analyze data while studying the Pythagorean Theorem, measure length and width of several rectangular objects, and compare the measured results to the calculated results.

Learners explore measurements by completing worksheets in class. For this geometry lesson, students identify the basic measurement units in both the English and metric systems. Learners analyze 2 and 3 dimensional objects and identify...

Students review how to use an inch ruler and listen to the story, Inch by Inch by Leo Lionni. In this measuring lesson, students work in small groups to create an Inch Poster. Students then use an inch ruler to measure different objects...
