Learners find the surface area and volume of the solid figures by measuring the length and the height of each face and base. They use concrete models to derive formulas for finding perimeter, circumference, area, surface area, and volume...

Young mathematicians collect data and graph it. They work collaboratively to collect data regarding the span of arm length versus height and graph the data they collect.

Your learners will get a lot of practice finding volumes of pyramids and cones in this nicely written practice worksheet. It even has room for them to show their work. The first few pyramids and cones are labeled pictures, while the last...

Tie the unit together and see concepts click in your young mathematicians' minds. Scholars apply the properties of similar triangles to find heights of objects. They concentrate on the proportions built with known measures and solve to...

Precise measurements make the job easier! One of the challenges when using an inclined plane for testing comes from pupils not using exact measurements. They often rely on books that slide or different ramp lengths when experimenting. By...

Explore methods for finding the volume of different three-dimensional figures. The 20th lesson in the 25-part series asks learners to interpret diagrams of 3-D figures and use formulas to determine volume. Scholars must use the...

First graders estimate length and height of items. They read the story of Jack and the Beanstalk and discuss estimation of size. Students predict the length and height of figures. They use lines and numbers on the centimeter rod and tape...

Pour a solid foundation of engineering into the minds of future engineers. Scholars take part in three activities to learn about civil engineering. They build a model of a cable-stayed bridge, conduct an experiment to see the effects of...

Learners construct their understanding of measurement and dimensions in this step-by-step approach that begins with an all group vocabulary introduction, consisting of measuring objects and dialoging using measurement vocabulary....

Third graders are challenged to draw their own rectangles given a specific area or perimeter. There are no examples of how each rectangle should look, so it is important for learners to persevere in finding a solution. There is more...

Different varieties of Christmas trees provide an interesting way to combine social studies, science, math, and technology. Class members not only research the history of the Christmas tree holiday tradition, they compare and...

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders find the base, height, or area of a triangle. The one page interactive worksheet contains ten questions. Answers and hints are included. 

Double the dimensions, quadruple the surface area. Pairs build similar prisms and compare the ratios of their surface areas and volumes to the ratio of the heights. Given two similar cones, partners determine the ratios of the lateral...

Students determine the length and width of leaf samples to the nearest millimeter and the circumference of trees. They participate in a discussion about the importance of collecting specimens carefully. They compile accurate...

Give math vocabulary instruction a boost with a set of flash cards covering terms such as centimeter, pound, and thermometer to name a few. Word cards are typed using a bold-style font, and correspond to picture cards that...

Use a West African folktale to practice several different skills in your first grade classroom. Learners read The Clever Monkey Rides Again and focus on rhyming words, reading comprehension, measurement, art, movement, and word...

In this measuring lengths worksheet, students examine the appropriate unit of measure to use for a variety of items, and look at which errors are commonly made. They consider the use of millimeters, centimeters, meters, and kilometers...

In this customary units of length learning exercise, students draw five lines with different lengths, measure five lines to the nearest half inch and estimate the length of five widths.

Young scholars view a 30-minute video lesson to discover information about the characteristics of frogs and toads. They then transform themselves into frogs and participate in a Jumping Frog Jubilee. They work in groups of three to...

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...

Show high schoolers there is more to quadratic functions than just formulas and parabolas. Connect the math to realistic application problems with a resource that has learners consider such situations as a ball hit in the air, the...

In this perimeter and area instructional activity, 10th graders solve 12 different problems related to perimeter and area of various shapes. First, they determine the area of a parallelogram with a particular base and height. Then,...

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.

What's the length? Youngsters are introduced to measurement with this set of word problems. Learners measure three objects, one for each question, based on units provided. The units aren't specified (centimeters, etc.). This is...
