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...

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 metric measurement worksheet, students write down 5 things which are longer than a meter (100 cm) and 2 things which are less than one metre long.

In this fractions learning exercise, students solve word problems containing fraction problems of least to greatest, measurements, class counting, and more. Students complete 8 problems total.

Students calculate the length of the classroom using non-standard units of measurement and estimation. Using a cracker box, they discuss measuring various objects in the room as a class, and independently estimate and measure the length...

Sixth graders explore standard and nonstandard measurement. In this measurement lesson, 6th graders estimate the lengths of different objects and write about their observations during measuring. Students work in groups to...

Second graders participate in a review of how to use rulers and yard sticks while collecting measurement information. They measure assigned body parts and chart the data on collection sheets. They make a spreadsheet with the information...

Students explore tessellations. In this shapes and geometry lesson, students describe the attributes of many of the shapes displayed on an Elmo. Students create examples of tessellations using pattern blocks.

Sixth graders determine how to find the volume of a box. In this volume lesson, 6th graders participate in a lesson in which the teacher uses the associated study guide to explain how to find the volume of a cubic figure. They use boxes...

Students predict the shape of a geometric figure in 3D. In this geometry lesson plan, students construct 3D shapes to perfect their knowledge of measuring and predicting. This assignment is also available as an online interactive lesson...

Third graders practice measuring items by examining classroom objects.  For this geometry lesson, 3rd graders utilize measuring tools to find the weight, time, length or temperature of specific classroom items.  Students...

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...

Explore the concept of measuring and recording circumference. In this physical science and measurement lesson, young learners blow up balloons, measure the circumference, and record the data on an interactive graphing website.

What's similar about congruent and similar polygons? Young mathematicians first measure the side lengths and angles of given figures. They use these measurements to determine relationships between side lengths and angles of congruent and...

Young scholars investigate the importance of significant figures through measuring and estimating. In this estimation and significant figures lesson plan, students measure pieces of paper and round their figures to the nearest marking on...

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

Students examine the painting "Old Man With A Gold Chain" by Rembrandt. They identify geometric shapes in the painting, measure these shapes and compare the relationships of these measurements.

High schoolers find the standard molar volume of a gas. In this molar volume of a gas lesson plan, students react magnesium metal and hydrochloric acid and collect the hydrogen gas produced using a gas collection tube. High schoolers...

Trying to understand the vastness of outer space can be quite a challenge for young scientists. Help put things in perspective with this cross-curricular activity as students work in pairs creating scaled models of...

Here is a simple and clever activity which illustrates the concept of mathematical proportion and size quite effectively. In it, two pupils hold baseball bats: one is a regulation-size bat, the other is a miniature souvenir bat. The...

Eighth graders measure regular baseball bats and souvenir bats in centimeters. They determine how tall a person would be to be in proportion to the souvenir bat, create a poster depicting the person, and explain the proportional...

Students examine spider webs they find as they explore outside. They make T-chart of the shapes found in two different webs and draw them on geoboard paper. Next, they measure length and width of a spider's web before checking to see if...

Assess your second graders with this end of the year test. Originally meant for home school, this assessment could also be used in a larger setting. Learners complete 35 problems based on their knowledge of the second grade math...

In this ruler worksheet, 6th graders identify and complete 10 different problems that include reading various lengths of a ruler illustrated. First, they read each ruler shown on the sheet. Then, students write the length of the red line...
