Fifth graders look at different ways to measure rice. In this rice measurement lesson, 5th graders see the metric and customary measurements. They discuss how rice is measured by length, area of the field, weight, volume and yield. 

Students work in small groups to solve the problems presented. The main project, mapping the classroom, use these discussions to collaborate in creating a tangible demonstration of their understanding.

learners convert the temperature readings from degrees Celsius to degrees Fahrenheit. they predict and create a graph of what the graph of altitude (x-axis) versus temperature in degrees Fahrenheit (y-axis) might look like.

Students practice working with the metric system by measuring and recording the lengths of their smiles.

Learners investigate the Metric System. They discuss the history of the Metric System, convert various units of measurement into the Metric System, and solve problems on a spreadsheet.

Young scholars practice measuring using the metric system and millimeters. They measure their thumbs and record their findings. Students record the findings of their classmates and find the average or mean for the two groups.

Students use standard rulers to measure the length of common classroom items - such as pencils, books, desk tops - in inches and centimeters, and measure weight in pounds. They also answer math questions, such as "How long is the front...

Young scholars measure their bodies. In this math lesson, students record their height and weight. Young scholars measure themselves in six months and observe any changes.

Students explore the concept of measurement, modelling the increments on a standard ruler using cubes and grid paper. They identify the length of a line to a designated standard unit and measure specified body parts.

Fourth graders participate in an activity measuring length, weight and capacity. They incorporate physical movements to help them explore measurement.

In this math worksheet, learners will work in small groups to measure the height of objects, such as trees, using their shadows. Students will be able to determine heights of objects that cannot be directly measured.

Students calculate the mean, median, mode, range, and interquartile range for a set of data. They create a box and whisker plot using paper, pencil and technology.

Create models to demonstrate multiplication and division of fractions. Using fraction tiles to model fractions, pupils explore fractions on a ruler and use pattern blocks to multiply and divide. They also create number lines with fractions.

Students measure their smile with a piece of string, which is then measured on a ruler (metric of course!). They take a piece of string and cut it to the length that matches their smile and then measure it with a ruler.

Students will measure each other and record the data in inches. They will use a stem and leaf plot to display data and figure out the average height of the students in a class. The other statistical data will be collected like the mode...

Fourth graders investigate the weight/mass of a number of items using grams, and equivalents. They examine the use of a triple beam balance before massing objects including oil and water. They go over the weights they amassed and weigh...

Students explore math functions by preparing a meal. In this food measurement activity, students examine a recipe for a meal and alter the size of the recipe based upon the amount of servings needed. Students utilize manipulatives to...

Students calculate the speed using metric measurements. In this geometry lesson, students calculate speed, distance and velocity using metric measurements. They gain inquiry and problem solving skills in this assignment.

Traveling through space is an amazing experience, but it definitely takes a toll on the body. After reading an article and watching a brief video, learners perform an experiment that simulates the effects of zero gravity on the...

Eighth graders calculate the weight of a limestone block in metric and U.S. customary measurements. Make inferences by applying measurable ratios to known data.

Students practice how to calculate volume using mummy cases. They measure using ancient Egyptian, U.S., and metric systems. They explore how to convert measurements into different systems, and discuss ratios.

In this mathematics worksheet, students imagine that a giant needed a ruler to measure things in his world. they draw a line under the bottom edge of the ruler and under each mark, write the size of the fractional part.

Students apply estimation strategies and proportional reasoning to determine a scale comparing the planetary bodies to Earth. They convert measurements of time and distance using scientific notation. Both the metric and customary units...

Students find examples of the Golden Ratio on the human body through measurement. Additionally, students learn about the use of the Golden Ratio and the Golden Rectangle in art and architecture. A very interesting lesson for the students!
