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...

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,...

Differentiated instruction through leveled learning contracts boosts scholars' knowledge of volume and capacity. Participants split into three groups based on ability and interest before choosing three activities from their learning...

Build a basic understanding of units of measure and create a great foundation for your learners. The lesson gives a complete overview of everything measurement, from types of measurement to rounding to conversions — it has it all! 

Breaking the rules is one thing, proving it is another! Learners expand on their previous understanding of congruence and apply a mathematical definition to transformations. They perform and identify a sequence of transformations and use...

Learners solve 14 word problems and 25 weight conversions.

Applying this metric worksheet, mathematicians will provide standard metric units of measurement, identify the largest and best way to measure items using the metric system, and convert units using King Henry.

Here learners get to flex some serious algebraic muscles through an investigation of logistic growth. The properties of the constant terms in the logistic growth formula are unraveled in a short but content-dense...

Give math vocabulary instruction a boost with a set of flash cards covering terms such as centimeter, pound, and thermometer to name a few. Word cards are typed using a bold-style font, and correspond to picture cards that...

Thirsty plants soak up every bit of a rainfall, but what happens to the rain that hits the roof? Calculate the amount of rainwater from your school's roof with an Earth science activity, which brings measurement skills, observation...

Twelve chapters cover a multitude of math concepts found in the Common Core standards for sixth grade. Each title provides a brief explanation of what you will find inside the chapter—concepts from which you can click on and learn more...

Delve into the concept of economic growth with your class members, including why economic growth is important, what causes it, and how can countries encourage it.

Fifty-four flashcards make up a set to help reinforce math vocabulary. The set offers two types of cards; a word card printed in bold font, and a definition card equipped with an example and labels. Terms include capacity,...

How do you calculate your Body Mass Index, and why is this information a valuable indicator of health? Class members discover not only what BMI is and practice calculating it using the height and weight of six fictitious individuals, but...

In this science fair project, use a calorimeter with an attached heating element to measure how water responds to added thermal energy.

Measuring fun is here! In this week's adventure, children will explore volume, capacity, and weight and learn new math vocabulary words as they practice measurement with real and virtual measuring tools. Each section of this weeklong...

Students will complete interactive activities to explore measurement of length, volume, capacity, time, and averages.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Choose the appropriate metric units of mass or capacity given various measurement situations.

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

This interactive focuses on measuring objects using coins as units of measurement. They measure tools, trains, mice, and shoes.

This site provides great practice on the concept of volume. Students can first learn about the topic by watching a step by step instruction video that also points out areas of concern. Finally, students can practice their knowledge by...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] The video describes how to find the sum of the capacity of water using the pictures provided. The video describes how to use the pictures to determine how many cups...

Students will find capacity of objects and practice telling time to the half-hour while playing learning games.

Students will use their knowledge of measurable attributes (length, weight, capacity) to compare two or more objects using one measurable trait or more than two measurable traits to compare if the objects have more, less, or equal...
