Through a series of worksheets, mathematicians practice with various concepts of measurement. Conveniently, the 6 pages are easily broken up for individual assignments, and seem to progress in difficulty. Math concepts include drawing...

In a math or life science class, "mini-me" models are created with cardstock to reflect a 1:10 scale of students' bodies. Learners measure each others' heights with meter sticks, and then reduce the size by 10. After this exercise, they...

Fifth graders complete nine problems in which they work with converting customary units of length such as feet to yards, and yards to miles. They compare measurements using inequality signs in six examples, and answer two test prep...

Line drawings of a circle, a cylinder, and a cone at the top of the page contain the formulae for area and volume of each shape. Learners complete the missing information in a chart that lists diameter, radius, height, and area and...

Students investigate measurement.  In this fifth/sixth grade mathematics lesson, students explore the relationship between inches and centimeters.  Students measure their height in inches or centimeters and convert the...

Students determine the relationship between bone length and height. In groups, they are told the race and gender of the individual and discuss how this affects height. They measure the lengths of the bones in metric measurements and...

In this measuring chemicals worksheet, students investigate measurements of an aluminum slab including the length, width, height, mass, volume and density. They do the same for a piece of aluminum foil and they compare their...

Learners explore the necessity for standards of measurement and measure length, volume, mass and angles. In this measurement lesson plan, students use their hand and foot to measure objects in the room. They compare their measurements to...

Fifth graders practice measuring items with unique tools.  In this length lesson plan, 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...

Learners calculate the size of a mummy case and its contents using ancient Egyptian measurements.

In this measurement instructional activity, students fill in a chart with the proper SI units, measurements and symbols. They also practice converting from one metric unit to another. They express numbers in scientific notation.

For this height worksheet, students measure the height of items such as a tree, giraffe, and more with the units given. Students complete 10 activities.

In this measurement learning exercise, students measure the height of the objects given with the units given on the side of the problem. Students complete 16 problems.

In this measuring heights worksheet, students cut out the measuring bar and use it to measure and record the heights of each building. Students solve 3 problems.

Have your class explore measuring with this worksheet. Learners measure items and record their results in centimeters and millimeters. There are ten different items to measure.

The graphics here aren't the best, but if you are looking to get your students warmed up for a measurement lesson, this may do the trick. First, they use stars as units of measurement for three objects. They have to pay careful...

Students find a correlation between a person's height and his/her shoe size. They have access to entering data into lists on a graphing calculator and can complete scatter plots. Students read and interpret a scatter plot and use the...

Young scientists grab their measuring tapes, rulers, and yard sticks as they see how big Arctic animals really are. To conceptualize the trait of height or length, each small group will measure out the entire length of an arctic animal....

The slope of the land is an important feature when considering the erosion that will occur. In this resource, which is part of a rain garden unit, learners calculate the slope of the proposed garden site. Even if you are not planning a...

Students explore the differences between the heights of their family members as they measure, record, and compare the data gathered. Comparisons are made to discover who was the tallest and the shortest member.

In this online math worksheet, students must find the missing measurement in a variety of trapezoids. This excellent resource allows the students to check their answers, and to get "hints" should they run into difficulties. A terrific...

In this trees worksheet, students show their understanding of measurement by solving 6 fill in the blank problems for distance, girth, and height.

In this measuring length and height learning exercise, students measure the lines with arrows on different shaped objects and fill in the length, height, base, or diameter boxes with the correct measurements. Students write five answers.

How can you measure the height of a tree or telephone pole with only a short measuring tape?  It's not a problem when you start by measuring your shadow and your height to create a ratio to use with taller objects. Additional...
