Mia's pet lizard has grown a lot since he was a baby and she needs help measuring his length now that he's an adult. After choosing the best tool for the job, RJ goes step by step through the measurement process, modeling how to use both...

As Mia and RJ discuss measurement, your class is introduced to the customary and metric systems for measuring mass, capacity, weight, and length. Temperature scales are also introduced. This resource can help set the foundation for later...

Customary units, also known as standard units of measurement, are the focus of a conversion brochure. Learners compare, identify, and convert customary units of length before folding the sheets into a brochure.

Follow six steps to implement this series of metric worksheets. Here, mathematicians exhibit their knowledge of problem solving, while converting units of measurement and label their answers with the applicable unit name.

How do you convert from one measurement to another? Pupils use unit rates to convert measurements from one unit to another in the 21st segment in a 29-part series. They convert within the same system to solve length, capacity,...

A simple question, with a not-so-simple answer. Working with whole and mixed number measurements in inches, feet, and yards presents a problem with many possible solutions. A great activity that challenges the minds of young...

Get things moving with this elementary science unit on simple machines. Through a series of nine lessons including teacher demonstrations, hands-on activities, and science experiments, young scientists learn about forces, motion,...

If you need a way to assess the concepts in your physical science class, use an extended set of worksheets as a midterm or final exam. It includes questions about density, physical and chemical matter, speed and velocity, weight and...

Here are three activities--concentration, matching, and flashcards--to help learn or review the units of customary measurement.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Choose appropriate tools and customary units for given measurement situations.

Learners will be using a hands-on approach to learning about length, capacity, and weight. This instructional activity contains a detailed plan, slides containing notes and problems, and a video tutorial.

Practice US customary length, volume, and mass problems that require expressing measurements given in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly,...

A complete tutorial that explains time, metric system, mass, length, volume, and temperature. Interactive practices and challenge games are included.

The purpose of this task is for students to measure lengths to the nearest eighth and quarter-inch and to record that information in a line plot. Aligns with 4.MD.B.4 and CCSS.Math.Content.3.MD.B.4 Generate measurement data by measuring...

Students, teachers, and parents alike will enjoy this challenging math site. It contains a clever brain teaser section plus creative problems related to algebra, geometry, measurement, numbers, statistics, and probability. A Spanish...

Practice converting a US customary measure of length to a smaller unit. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

How do we understand the difference between inches and centimeters? Why does measuring a given object in centimeters always give a bigger number than measuring the same object in inches? This lesson includes detailed plans, printable...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] The video describes how to determine distance traveled using a symbol map, and convert between different units of measurement. The video is followed by additional...
