Young scholars randomly select dimensions for three geometric shapes (square, right triangle and circle). From the graphs they compare and contrast the graphical results of each shape.

Learners take part in a variety of measurement tasks. Students measure the length of a slinky. Learners work out how many slices of tomato will fit around the edge of a pizza. Students measure the label from a can accurately.

Learners calculate the surface area of different polygons. In this geometry lesson, students practice calculating the volume of spheres. They work with cones, cylinders and rectangular prisms.

Twelfth graders build a model of the following figures with the base from column I and the cross-section from column II. Draw the base with labeled axes on the graph paper and construct the figure on top of the base with the play dough...

Second graders measure surface area and perimeter using estimation. They complete a variety of measurement activities using Cheerios breakfast cereal.

Eighth graders participate in the mini-metric Olympics. For this measurement lesson, 8th graders solve real-world problems that require them to calculate length, area, and volume in metric units.
