In this converting units learning exercise, students solve 10 different problems that include using metric units in each. They complete each listed unit of measurement by converting each to its proper length, capacity, or mass. Students...

How many paperclips high is a fork? How many blocks long is a bottle? Kindergartners demonstrate their understanding of the measurable attributes of objects by responding to four prompts that ask them to determine the length a fork, a...

Class members take scale drawings and examine scales to determine distances in the actual objects. Pupils convert the scales of different units to scale factors that can be used in proportional equations.

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...

Even though pennies seem to be relatively thin, stack enough of them into a single stack, and you could have quite a high stack. Enough so, that the final result can be a surprise to you as well as your class. This activity centers...

Students explore measuring tools by calculating heights and lengths of random objects. In this distance measurement lesson, students utilize the Internet service MapQuest to measure the distance between their current towns and many other...

Students practice measurement using real world objects. In this scavenger hunt for lengths lesson, students collaborate to measure with rulers, yardsticks, trundle wheels, and tape measures.  Students must estimate the length then...

Students explore the idea of having Benchmarks to estimate the length of given objects. Students demonstrate acquired knowledge of the basic units of length by making reasonable estimates. Students create a personal benchmark.

Pupils explore the midsegment of a triangle in the geometry lesson. They draw and measure the segment joining the midpoints of the two sides of a triangle and compare its length to the length of the third side of the triangle. The...

Students calculate area, perimeter and length of rectangles. In this geometry lesson, students create different formulas for the problem they are being asked to solve. They use the navigator to move the shape around and make observations.

For this metric length worksheet, learners solve 16 problems in which metric units of length are converted. Students also compare units by using the <, > or =.

In this standard length measurement activity, students solve 11 problems in which conversions are made between inches, feet, yards and miles.

In this metric measurement worksheet, learners solve 11 problems in which metric units of length are converted. There is a chart at the top of the page to help.

In this standard measurement of length worksheet, students solve 11 problems in which inches, feet, yards and miles are converted.

Students examine and discuss a variety of ways to measure length, capacity, and weight. They estimate and measure a pencil's length using Unifix cubes, estimate and fill a measuring cup with Unifix cubes, and weigh a calculator in a...

Measuring length with nonstandard units is the focus of this word problem learning exercise. Youngsters problem solve using cubes, paper clips, footprints, and pencils. They solve six problems.

Pairs of pupils get together in order to measure the heights and lengths of their shadows. They use these measurements in order to predict the height of other friends in class. A good activity to practice measuring things that cannot be...

In this metric measurement of length worksheet, students find the 4 real objects pictured and estimate the length in centimeters. Students then measure and record the lengths in centimeters or meters.

Looking for a solving word problems using nonstandard units worksheet? This one's for you. Learners use paper clips, ones blocks, footsteps, and handprints to measure lengths. Students solve six problems.

Estimate and explore the length and weight of classroom items using standard measurement and scales. Students will work in groups to determine appropriate measuring tools, weigh or measure items, and record their results on a data chart....

Engage scholars in a ratio lesson that employs real-world scenarios. Learners will compare the length and width of pictures and use a table to identify ratio patterns. They watch "Math Can Take You Places" and discuss jobs that use math...

A few good questions move this lesson right along. Young mathematicians use critical-thinking skills as they learn how to determine the perimeter of various shapes. They determine perimeter first by measuring and adding the lengths of...

Rates per unit of time, unit rates, and the distance and lengths of trips are solved in this 18-question assignment. Neatly presented, these questions provide your middle school mathematicians practice with unit rate skills.

Here is a very good estimating and measuring length with nonstandard units worksheet. Learners use paper clips and toothpicks to estimate and measure the real objects pictured in each problem, then write ten answers.
