Fifth graders record measurements and calculate the volume. They select and use appropriate units and procedures to measure volume # use tools such as technology to solve problems

In this geometry worksheet, students practice finding the area of 11 polygons using diagrams which include units in both standard and metric measurement. They solve for the area of 11 polygons using words that describe the polygons that...

Fourth graders, in groups, experiment with density and the displacement of water by creating and designing their own boats and seeing which boat holds the most centimeter cubes without sinking..

Eighth graders discover how the change in the dimensions of a shape cause a change in the overall area of the shape, but the perimeter stay the same. They, in groups, go out to the playground and construct large areas using stakes and rope.

Ninth graders solve linear equations.  In this Algebra I lesson, 9th graders investigate the properties of equations (Reflexive, Symmetric, Transitive, Substitution, and Transformation Properties) and use these properties to solve...

Middle schoolers receive a copy of a "Spaghetti Measure" task sheet along with the scoring rubric. Students preview the task and the rubric prior to starting the task. tudeThey determine the circumference of a circle of spaghetti that...

Pupils identify the concepts of density, mass, and volume that define the property of a substance. They also determine that the properties of materials, such as, density and volume, can be compared and measured by using rulers, balances,...

Learners estimate the size of a sea turtle nest, or clutch, that contains about 120 eggs. They decide what type of container that they are familiar with that could hold a complete nest or clutch. Finally, students calculate the volume...

In this online, interactive worksheet, 6th graders complete a pre-test regarding volume.  Students complete 10 multiple choice questions and click at the bottom of the page to check their answers.    

Sixth graders use number cubes to explore volume of two-dimensional shapes. They roll a die and construct a shape using the numbers rolled as measurements of the sides. They estimate the volume of a given object, and then use the...

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

Students examine a cross section of a tree. They discuss what the rings mean and how they can tell its age. They complete a worksheet to end the instructional activity.

Students learn basic measuring techniques by measuring a chair. In this measuring lesson plan, students are asked to measure the various parts of a chair, and then record their measurements. Then they have to calculate different math...

For this solid figures worksheet, 5th graders are given six objects in which they are asked to chose which solid figure each object looks like. Students are provided a visual of each solid figure.

In this geometry activity, 10th graders analyze the huge Boeing Plant in Washington. They calculate the dimensions of the building, given the volume.

Sixth graders determine how to find the volume of a box. In this volume instructional activity, 6th graders participate in a instructional activity in which the teacher uses the associated study guide to explain how to find the volume of...

Learners employ art as a means of communication. The meaning of the communication comes out in the design of a unique room that is 3 dimensional. The use of the imagination is encouraged as well as visualization skills.

Scaling needs to be picture perfect. Pupils use proportional reasoning to find the missing dimension of a photo. Class members determine the sizes of paper needed for two configurations of pictures in the short assessment task.

Fill the minds of your young mathematicians. A hands-on activity has learners fill in a rectangular prism with unit cubes to determine its volume. the exercise provides a great hands-on way for learners to connect the activity...

In this formula worksheet, students complete a graphic organizer, answering the questions relating to: understand, plan, solve, look back. Students solve 2 problems. Houghton Mifflin test is referenced.

Here is an area of parallelograms practice worksheet in which learners sharpen their problem solving skills as they solve six story problems.

Middle schoolers construct a basic cylinder out of a piece of paper, then answer seven questions about their cylinder. Questions have to do with measurement, volume, radius, etc.

In this cylinder worksheet, students compare three different cylinders to experiment which one has the greatest volume. Students interact with rectangles as they experiment with the cylinders.
