Children solve problems involving measurement using information taken from various items measured (wooden blocks and boxes). This is a particularly good lesson to use when introducing how to use a ruler and how to add inches together in...

Which of these is the best tool for the job? Learners examine a measurement scenario and determine which of five tools would be the right choice. There is only one problem, and the worksheet includes pictures. Because the answer is...

Students measure using both metric and standard measures. They convert from one standard to the next while measuring distances in their home or classroom.

Students investigate the concept of perimeter. They design there own figure and measure the perimeter of it. The lesson plan is given the context of the shape being a path that is traveled by a ladybug. This provides the shape of the...

Specific learning goals are grouped for different grade levels spanning pre-kindergarten to eighth grade. After preparing the questions and materials, you call a learner to come in front of the class and play the game. Young learners...

Learners explore linear measurement. They choose appropriate measuring tools, measure three classroom items, and record their results.  A class discussion ensues in which everyone decides the best way to present their data.

Second graders examine the metric system. In this metric system lesson, 2nd graders compare measurements of common objects in metric units. Students compete in a garden scavenger hunt.

Learners are introduced to units of measurement found on a ruler as well as what attributes make an object difficult or easier to measure with a ruler. The teacher has various objects placed around the room, and the youngsters practice...

In this perimeter worksheet, 10th graders identify and complete 9 different problems that include determining the perimeter of various figures. First, they complete the table by writing the number of sides in each figure listed on the...

Upper graders use a variety of tools to measure liquid and solid ingredients in an ice cream making recipe. Following written and oral directions and accurately timing themselves forms the basis of this lesson.

In this math graphs worksheet, students write line plot, tally chart, pictograph, or bar graph to tell the best kind of graph to use to answer the six questions.

What are polygons? Learners find the perimeter of various geometric figures that the teacher has drawn in chalk on the sidewalk. A worksheet to record their measurements is provided. Get your third graders outside and exploring the world...

Examine measurable characteristics of objects to build an understanding of the different ways you can discuss an object's size when comparing it to other objects. After whole group instruction, the class compares and organizes several...

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. 

In this determining the best unit of length worksheet, students answer 7 multiple choice questions in which they choose the best unit of measure that would be used for each item. They choose between inches or feet in each example.

In this online math activity, students determine the length and width of given rectangles given their area. This excellent resource allows the students to check their answers, and to get "hints" should they run into difficulties. A...

Students participate in an estimation activity to determine the length of a hallway or to estimate how many people can fit in the school stadium or gym.

In this exploring metric units of lengths, students measure and estimate distances in centimeters and millimeters. Students answer nine problems.

In this Pythagorean theorem worksheet, students determine if the six sets of given lengths form right triangles.  Next. students find the missing length for sixteen right triangles.  The solutions are provided.

Students compute the length of an arc and each hypotenuse in the give figure, adding them up in the end. They then develop the formula for the arc length with respect to the x-axis and the y-axis. Students also develop a formula for the...

Sixth graders explore characteristics of similar objects. Using attribute blocks, they explore the ratios of the perimeter, area and side length in similar shapes. They calculate and compare the area of shapes.

For this integration worksheet, students graph a function that is a quarter circle curve. They calculate lengths of curves by approximation using the distance formula. Students use a computer program to calculate the approximation of the...

For this math worksheet, students practice converting the units of length for the Standard System. They also choose the operations of multiplication or division to perform the conversion.

In this recognizing longer and shorter lengths worksheet, students observe pairs of objects and identify the ones with the longest sides. Students solve 9 problems.
