Third graders use the appropriate units of measure when given a list of items to estimate and measure. They work in cooperative groups to locate, estimate, and measure given items using the correct unit of measurement.

Students participate in a paper folding activity that has them create a ruler for measuring to the closest 1/16th of an inch.

Young scholars observe and solve examples of betweenness, ruler postulate, and segment addition postulate. They complete the Finding the Measure of Segments worksheet using the distance formula.

Pupils follow the directions on the attached worksheet to construct shapes using Geometer's Sketchpad. To start the instructional activity, it is suggested that the teacher guide the students through the initial problem. When...

Second graders practice measuring the lengths of objects. In this measurement lesson, 2nd graders use paper clips to measure objects in the classroom. Students use larger paper clips first and record their answers, then use the smaller...

Fourth graders complete a worksheet about approximate measurements. In this lesson on approximation, 4th graders compare the wingspan of a given bird to the wingspan of other birds and classroom objects.

Students investigate one, two and three dimensional objects. In this algebra lesson, students differentiate between different shapes of objects and write equations to represent each. They start with what they already know and prove...

High schoolers observe and solve examples of corresponding angle postulates, alternate interior angle theorems, and exterior and consecutive angles. They complete the Determining Angle Measure With Parallel Lines worksheet.

Students explore measurement. In this math lesson, students measure how far they can jump using blocks. Students compare the results when different sized blocks are used. Students estimate the distance jumped.

In this fraction and decimal equivalents practice learning exercise, students sharpen their problem solving skills as they solve 6 story problems that require them to use mental math.

Learners identify missing sides and angles. For this geometry lesson, students use triangular theorems to identify the missing sides. They use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the different ratios of each side.

Students calculate the measurement of a central angle. In this geometry lesson, students identify properties of circles. They use Cabri software to create and analyze graphs.

Students define keywords that are important to solve problems. In this geometry instructional activity, students find the arc length and angle of a circle. They convert between radians and degrees.

Young scholars explore weight. In this math lesson, students predict which item weighs more and discuss how they arrived at their decision. Young scholars weigh several items to determine which weighs more.

Third graders measure the speed of sound using scientific investigative techniques.

Sixth graders practice measuring shapes that do not have a common shape. They practice using centimeter grid paper to make the measurements. Students also use estimation skills after measurements are taken.

Fifth graders complete an introduction to the Geometer's Sketchpad software. They explore various beginning functions and practice using required tools. Using the sketchpad, 5th graders measure given angles. They complete follow-up...

Eighth graders convert metric measurements.

Young scholars investigate the relationship between metric length measurement and English length measurement units. They watch a demonstration of the use of centimeter and millimeter rulers before practicing using the Ladder technique to...

Students experiment to find out how rain is measured. In this rainfall measurement instructional activity, students experiment to observe the effects of rainfall and how much of it fell.

Students describe the range and various measures of central tendency using shoe sizes from a video. In this range and measures of central tendency instructional activity, students use the same data set to identify the concepts of range,...

Students study wind speed and collect wind speed data. In this wind speed lesson, students visit a website to learn about the local wind speed forecast for their week. Students discuss wind and wind speed. Students collect wind speed...

Seventh graders solve word problems involving real world situation. In this geometry lesson plan, 7th graders solve problems related to volume. They apply the formulas taught in geometry.

Students measure the area using feet and yard. In this algebra lesson, students draw and manipulate shapes to calculate the area. They measure the relationship of area between the two units.
