What time is it when the arc length is pi? An interactive displays the measure of the angle created between the hour and minute hand of a clock. Pupils can set the clock to different hours and calculate the arc length based upon the radius.

Bend it, but don't break it. Groups investigate the strength of different materials. Using a procedure in the seventh segment of a 22-part series on aviation, pupils determine how far a rod will bend. They determine the strength-to-mass...

In this measuring with body units learning exercise, students read examples of unusual units of length based on the body, then use these measurements to record estimated and actual length measurements of 5 common objects.

First graders learn how use a ruler to measure common items. For this measurement lesson, 1st graders examine the numerical markings on rulers and learn that each number stands for a unit of measure. They measure 5 classroom items after...

First graders explore and evaluate the use of both standard and nonstandard forms of measurement. They use noodles to measure the lengths of each line they have drawn. They glue the noodles to the page under the given line.

Third graders practice measuring different objects. They discover the concepts of ratio and proportion and practice converting numbers into the correct unit. They read stories as well to help them with the concepts.

Students explore the differences between the heights of their family members as they measure, record, and compare the data gathered. Comparisons are made to discover who was the tallest and the shortest member.

In this measurement worksheet, students use a picture of a ruler to answer 4 questions, then solve 2 additional problems and write to explain these answers.

Students explore motor skills by participating in a drawing activity. In this hand coordination lesson, students utilize activity sheets in which they drag their pencil in a specific direction quickly and efficiently. Students utilize...

First graders examine measurement. In this measurement lesson, 1st graders practice using nonstandard units to help in measuring objects. Students listen to How Big is a Foot and complete an activity using unifix cubes to measure line...

Eighth graders investigate the concepts that are related to measurement while focusing upon weight, mass, and capacity. They estimate the weight and mass relationship that is found in different problems. Students compare and contrast one...

Here is a measurement lesson focusing on length. Learners use their feet as the unit of measurement for furniture in the classroom and at home, and sketch the pieces of furniture they measured.

Primary learners participate in activities that help them explain how different things are measured. They create their own access number chart.

What are polygons? Learners find the perimeter of various geometric figures that the teacher has drawn in chalk on the sidewalk. A worksheet to record their measurements is provided. Get your third graders outside and exploring the world...

Students comprehend the meaning of "pixel." They recognize patterns using pixels. Students observe how land use can be determined from a pixel. They measure off a 30 x 30-meter area to show the size of the surface area of one pixel....

Play a coordinates game to encourage collaborative learning and grid use! Learners plot points on grids and play a game that challenges them to locate a specific point on a coordinate grid by using horizontal and vertical movements.

Use a hands-on approach to exploring the concepts of related rates in your AP Calculus class. Individuals explore the effect of the rate of change on a variable related to a variable they control. After analyzing the data they...

Blow classes away with a hands-on lesson investigating wind speed. Learners use common materials to design and construct anemometers. They then test their anemometers and collect data on the wind speed created by a fan.

Forget your local meteorologist — build your own barometer and keep track of the weather with an activity that provides directions to build a barometer out of a narrow necked bottle, a glass, and some water. Using their barometer,...

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.

Apply, apply, apply! A measurement activity applies a number of concepts to help learn a new construction. Scholars learn to divide a segment into n equal parts using a method that uses the Side Splitter Theorem and a method...

Create a model to study a microscopic phenomenon. The seventh of 12 lessons uses an egg (without its shell) to represent a cell membrane. Using different solutions, learners explore the concept of cell diffusion. They monitor...

Breaking the rules is one thing, proving it is another! Learners expand on their previous understanding of congruence and apply a mathematical definition to transformations. They perform and identify a sequence of transformations and use...

Explore angle relationships created by parallel lines and transversals. The 13th lesson of 18 prompts scholars use transparency paper to discover angle relationships related to transversals. Learners find out that these angles pairs are...
