Learners practice skills involving statistics and probability by making predictions on number of each color candy in one pound bag of M&Ms. They record both guesses and actual quantities, calculate percentages, and create bar graphs...

It's time to check the mail! The task is to determine the most cost-effective way to mail a packet of information. Young scholars write an equation that models the amount of postage as a function of the number of sheets mailed and...

Measure your pupil's learning in a lesson designed to explore decimals by weighing different candies on a scale and recording the weight. Small groups then compare and order the decimal weights on a number line to show their...

Examples and practice questions will help real-life understanding of the Principle of Moments concept. These great slides define the types of levers and pivots, and then give examples of the typical seesaw situations that help the...

Seven activities make up a collection of supplemental materials to reinforce graphing on a coordinate plane. Worksheet objectives include plotting coordinates within single and four quadrants, measuring straight and...

It's time for scholars to show what they know about coordinate planes with a collection of three assessments. The exams' objectives include plotting points on a single grid, measuring using the distance formula, and identifying...

Learners explore volume in relation to centimeter cubes and other nonstandard units of measurement using small containers. They will use hands-on materials to practice this concept. You will need small objects and containers to set this up.

In this estimating lengths worksheet, students observe problems with pictures and lengths and choose the length that gives the best estimate. Students solve 9 problems.

Math word problems are the focus of this presentation. Learners view slides that have a variety of word problems on them. In addition to solving those problems, they are invited to make up similar problems on their own. The last slide...

Here is a math lab that helps young mathematicians understand the real-life meaning for vector addition. By building a model using spring scales and washers as weight, and then calculating the vector addition using two different methods,...

First graders explore number sense by participating in a measurement estimation activity. In this weight lesson, 1st graders discuss the differences between measurement units, both English and Metric. Students examine a loaf of bread to...

Students weigh and record the mass of various objects, and then compare the weights of objects by holding gram weights in one hand and the object in the other hand.

In this metric weights worksheet, students read 3 sentences and study the pictures that go with them. From two choices, students pick the metric unit that would be used to measure each object.

Students, in groups, estimate and check the weights of classroom objects using coins as the standard of measure.

Students determine where to buy the heaviest earthworms as they study invertebrates. They create a double bar graph of the results of the weight data.

Fifth graders build objects using various materials. They estimate the weight of the object using individual building pieces. Then they weigh the actual object and then tear it apart and weigh the pieces. They compare the two weights.

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

In this metric system weight activity, students answer a set of 10 multiple choice questions. Students may click on a link to view correct answers or print page.

In this math review instructional activity, 3rd graders respond to 14 questions that serve as a review of measurement, patterns, number sense, properties, story problems, and computation.

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...

In this estimating and measuring instructional activity, students will estimate the capacity of 10 objects and record information in liters and milliliters. Then students will measure the actual capacity of these objects and record to...

Students explore what work is, measure work done in moving an object, and tell how energy is related to work in both machines and the human body. In this measuring work lesson plan, students walk up a flight of stairs, measure the height...

In this conversion activity, students find the corresponding length or weight for each measurement given using the conversion chart given. Students complete 4 problems.

For this adding pounds worksheet, 1st graders complete 6 problems. They use the picture bank at the top of the page that shows the weight of 6 objects in pounds. They look at the pictures in each problem and match them to their weight...
