Here is a good, cross-curricular measurement and estimation lesson. Learners practice measuring paper strips to create an art project. This is a great way to introduce the ruler, and how it used, to your young scholars.

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 units of measure worksheet, 6th graders review the imperial and metric units of measure, complete a table to show conversions between the two types of measure.

In this Froot Loops to the Max worksheet, young scholars solve 12 problems relating to Froot Loops being a unit of measurement. First, they determine the measurements for each if 18 Froot Loops equaled 1 foot. Then, they write and...

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

In this measuring length activity, students find the items illustrated in the classroom and measure their lengths to the nearest inch and centimeter. Students then use the measurements to solve the two word problems.

Third graders explore measurement. In this estimation and measurement lesson, 3rd graders examine visual examples using standard units to measure length. Students also practice solving problems that their instructors model.

Pupils study the measurement formulas for area and perimeter in real-life situations. In this area and perimeter lesson, students design a bed and arrange furniture in a hotel room using area and perimeter formulas for a 7 1/2 foot tall...

Create your own fraction kits by folding and labeling paper using fraction vocabulary. Learners then work in groups to use these in comparing and sequencing both whole numbers and fractions. They also create unit cubes and develop an...

Five questions—multiple-choice, fill in the blank, and discussion—make up an interactive that challenges scholars to mail a teddy bear using the smallest box possible without squishing it. A box with movable sides allows mathematicians...

In this math instructional activity, learners learn to measure common classroom objects or body parts using a standard inches ruler and a centimeter ruler. Students measure 21 objects in both ways.

Fourth graders measure one centimeter cubed blocks to determine their size. They measure lines using a worksheet that is not included in the lesson plan. Next, they measure the area of figures on the sheet using the cubes in place of a...

Elementary schoolers are arranged in pairs and view the video Math Works: Measurement: The Difference Between Perimeter and Area. They discuss any prior knowledge they have of the term perimeter and then brainstorm together what the...

This problem solving PowerPoint presents a detailed, logical sequence of steps to follow in order to solve a story problem. The thinking processes described are given in text and represented by a visual model. After discussing the...

In this measurements worksheet, students complete the 9 sets of length and weight measurement activities to help them learn measurements.

Second graders examine human body movements by measuring the choreography of a dance.  In this physical education instructional activity, 2nd graders participate in a creative dance which is based on specific movements of each limb,...

Young mathematicians are shown a ruler, yardstick, tape measure and scale. They practice measuring length, width, height, and weight. They are then shown a thermometer, and discuss what a thermometer is used for. Everyone is shown how to...

In this math worksheet, students learn the formula for measuring the area of a rectangle by reading the information and looking at the diagram. Students find rectangular objects and measure the areas.

Students work in small groups to solve the problems presented. The main project, mapping the classroom, use these discussions to collaborate in creating a tangible demonstration of their understanding.

In this volume worksheet, students solve and complete 10 different problems that include determining the volume of books in a library and their weight. First, they complete the table with the weight, number of days and number of boxes...

Reinforce math concepts of multiplication, division, area, cups, and perimeter, with a mixed practice worksheet that offers five word problems.

Remodeling projects require more than just a good design — they involve complex fractions, too. To determine whether a tiling project will fit within a given budget pupils calculate the square footage to determine the number of...

Budding artists experiment with balance and movement as they learn about Alex Calder and his kinetic sculptures. They'll view several of Calder's pieces and review biographical information, then they'll work through the artistic process...

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...
