First graders use nonstandard measurement to measure. After reading Inch by Inch, 1st graders pair measure leaves that they have collected. They glue their leaves onto tag board to make a display.

In this radiation worksheet, students calculate the total shielding along several specific directions defined by the angles. This worksheet has 3 problems to solve.

Fifth graders complete an assignment while working in groups.  In this problem solving lesson students practice their problem solving skills while completing an activity. 

Students observe how to measure in metric units.  In this investigative lesson students compare different units of volume to see how things are measured.

Students use critical thinking skills to solve word problems using ratios that allow them to compare humans to ocean animals.

Students simulate driving a rover on the surface of Mars. In this space science lesson, students identify the challenges experienced by astronauts in operating a vehicle. They recommend some changes to make their 'rover' better.

Students explore facts about South America in the four lessons of this unit. Booklets are created from the materials produced as the class delves into the topic.

Students conduct an experiment to determine if water level is affected by a change in oxygen level or air pressure.

Measure length and practice counting with Megan as she prepares for her BBQ Party!

This is the second version of a task asking students to find the areas of triangles that have the same base and height. This presentation is more abstract as students are not using physical models. They still determine the area of each...

A guide to support parents as they work with their students addition and subtraction of length units.

A guide to support parents as they work with their students in comparison of length, weight, capacity, and numbers to 10.

In this activity you will: Use the Data/Graphs Wizard tool to graph data and determine a line that best fits your data. Use the Data/Graphs Wizard tool to identify the relationship between stride length and height.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] For this learning module, students must analyze the information they are given about the metric heights of three objects and answer questions that compare them....

Find the base or height of a triangle when given the other and the area. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Find the base or height of a parallelogram when given the other and the area. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

This activity uses data collection method for students to mathematically compute the height and shoulder width of the character Hagrid from Harry Potter. Students will measure their own heights and shoulder widths to come up with a class...

Kindergartners measure each other's height using large building blocks, then visit a 2nd and a 4th grade class to measure those students. They can also measure adults in the school community. Results are displayed in age-appropriate bar...
