Students use, read and write with metric units. They practice converting from larger to smaller units. Afterwards, they construct a scale drawing of a bridge. In addition, they construct these two designs, using the same scale of 1cm to...

Students participate in a metric measurement game. In this metric system lesson plan, students evaluate metric measurements using various objects in their environment.

Fifth graders explore the relationship between customary and metric units of measurement. Through discussion and hands-on activities, they discover how units of measurement are related. Students create a millions book to aid in their...

Learners manipulate several metric measuring devices to become competent in their use. Students work cooperatively to complete a worksheet based on the Golden Ration. Learners observe example of sculptures from different cultures and...

Young scholars translate a mathematical idea from one form to another. They compare and convert a given measurement to another unit within the same measurement system.

Fourth graders explore perimeters. In this measurement lesson, 4th graders examine example problems that highlight how to calculate the perimeters of rectangles in inches and centimeters. Students also practice solving problems that...

Students investigate measurement. In this library lesson plan, students discuss measurement, read Millions to Measure by David Schwartz, and complete a worksheet. Extra related activities are included in the lesson plan that appeals to...

Student observes and measures the variability in the length of the forearm and the length of the foot and to test a common belief that the length of the foot is equal to the length of the forearm.

In this metric measurement worksheet, learners practice their conversion skills as they convert 10 millimeter measurements to centimeter measurements.

For this metric measurement worksheet, students practice their conversion skills as they convert 10 millimeter measurements to centimeter measurements.

Students follow a math trail that has been created by the teacher. They follow the trail and answer math questions at stations along the way. They work in small groups to devise a math trail of their own which they share with another class.

Students experience a positive science experiment and study fundamental concepts of measurement.

Learners accurately use a metric ruler to measure length. They find a sum of multiple metric measurements.

Third graders create Powerpoint templates of pictures they have taken. Using both standard and metrric measurement units, they describe what units of measurement they would use for each object. In the computer lab, they work in pairs to...

Students use a ruler or meter stick to practice their metric unit and estimation skills by measuring everyday objects. First, students estimate the measurements of five distances as larger or smaller than a meter. Students then measure...

For this converting metric units of length worksheet, students convert thirty metric units of length as directed by following the instructions on the worksheet.

Students measure a set of Russian dolls using the metric system. In this measurement lesson plan, students identify certain relationships between sets of measurements by measuring a set of Russian dolls and presenting their findings to...

Middle schoolers explore the concept of the golden ratio. In this golden ratio lesson, students measure objects to determine if their measurements fit the golden ratio. Middle schoolers calculate the average measurements of the class.

Learners use both standard and metric measurement. They compare and contrast standard to non-standard units of measurement.

Students compare and convert units of measurement within the United States customary system and within the metric system by baking cookies. Students discuss how to double the cookie recipe, how to make only half of the recipe, and how to...

Students take measurements throughout the day using a simple sundial called a gnomon. They record the results on a Data Log and convert from English units to metric (S.I.) units. Data points are plotted on the same graph and analyzed.

Students understand where the number for pi comes from. They understand and use the formula for circumference. Students measure the circles given out and the diameters of those circles and record the results on their worksheet.

Practice basic addition facts and measuring skills. In this addition and measurement lesson, students are provided with drywall tape and work in groups of four at a long table. Partners take turns generating addends and marking the...
