Students investigate the best way to calculate the measurements of an area. In this geometry lesson, students relate a large circle to a cylinder and its measurements. They use PVC pipes to gain hands on experience as they calculate the...

Students measure distances. In this proportions lesson, students use a map to find how far it is between different cities. Students use their knowledge of measurement, multiplication and fractions to find the distances.

In this workplace math skills assessment, students complete metric conversion problems. They convert centimeter to millimeters, and use the conversions in addition and subtraction problems. They use a job aid table to complete 4 short...

Students participate in activities the connect measurement to geometry, statistics, estimation, and the real world. They collect measurements from their elbow to the tip of their middle finger and make a box plot of the data as well as...

Third graders use nonstandard concrete methods to estimate and record measurements of their body.

Students measure an area given a yardstick. They also convert inches into a fractions of a foot and use data to create a linear graph.

Fifth graders compare the relationship between meter in music and measurement in math. They practice sightreading music by determining the number of beats per measure, clapping and counting the rhythm.

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

Fifth graders conduct various measurement activities on themselves and a partner. They measure their height, weight, thumb-to-pinky span, and body temperature, recording the information in the form of an Excel spreadsheet.

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

Third graders construct fraction strips to play several math games. Using different colored construction paper, they assemble the strips and play Order the Fractions and Fraction War. With a pair of dice, 3rd graders roll fractions...

Third graders measure time and length. Through the use of video and technology, they explore key elements of measurement, such as units and conversion between units. They explore alternate units of measurement and apply measurement to...

Students investigate various common terms of measurement, sort them into categories, select the uncommon terms, and construct conversion tables for both the common and the uncommon terms of measurement.

For this math review for grade 3 (3.2)  worksheet, 3rd graders answer 25 multiple choice questions in standardized test format.

Fourth graders explore basic measurements by analyzing their own bodies. In this human anatomy lesson plan, 4th graders identify the units used to measure a human body such as centimeters, inches, ounces and pounds. Students complete a...

Students explore vertical and horizontal measurement of large objects. In pairs, they measure the trunk, crown, and height of a tree, create a graph of their results, and compare their results with their classmates.

Students investigate shapes and sizes by creating a riddle.  In this geometry lesson, students read one of two books and investigate facts about an object's size.  Students write a riddle using the facts they have read and cut...

Students identify and compare the characteristics of floor plans and zoning to family activities and needs. They draw an accurate floor plan--either existing or a work in progress to scale. Then, students roughly sketch their bedroom...

Students find the sum of the angles of a polygon and construct a polygon given the number of sides. In this polygon lesson plan, students draw large polygons on the floor of the room. They measure the length of each side and the interior...

Students predict which of two glasses is 1/2 full using visual estimation, height measurement, and liquid measurement methods. Mathematical equations to accurately solve the problem are determined and verified.

Students determine the relationship between bone length and height. In groups, they are told the race and gender of the individual and discuss how this affects height. They measure the lengths of the bones in metric measurements and...

Students investigate the states that water may take. In this physical science lesson, students read the book, Water: Up, Down, and All Around and recall the states of water from the book. Students examine how water takes the shape of its...

In this perimeter and area lesson, students learn the formulas for perimeter and area and view model problems using tiles. Students work in groups to solve practice problems. Students define perimeter and area and explain why...

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