Third graders measure items around the classroom using meter sticks. In this measurement lesson plan, 3rd graders are taught how to measure the length of an item with a meter stick. Inches, centimeters, millimeters, decimeters, and...

In this Mammoth worksheet, students think of things in this world that can compare in height, length, or even weight to a mammoth.

Second graders determine the correct unit of measure to use for different situations. In this measuring lesson, 2nd graders are introduced to different unit of measure. Students study the origin of measurement and practice measuring....

Students recognize that measuring tools can come in many different shapes and sizes. In this early childhood math lesson, students develop creative-thinking, math, and social skills as they use nontraditional measuring tools.

Upper graders identify the surface area and attributes of figures that are measurable. They estimate, measure, and record perimeter, area, temperature change, and elapsed time, using a variety of strategies. They also determine the...

Middle schoolers apply concept of ratio and proportion to determine length of Statue of Liberty's torch-bearing arm. They view video of Statue of Liberty, determine how long statue's arm would be if its nose measures four feet six...

Students measure distances using indirect measurements. In this geometry lesson, students apply proportion and ratios to measure heights of different objects. They differentiate between direct and indirect measurements.

Students identify units of measurement. In this measurement instructional activity, students predict the length and width of their hands and feet. Students discuss their findings and if their predictions were correct.

Students determine the height of objects using shadows. In this math activity, students discus methods of finding the height of items without directly measuring. Students measure shadows and figure the actual height of the object.

Precise measurements make the job easier! One of the challenges when using an inclined plane for testing comes from pupils not using exact measurements. They often rely on books that slide or different ramp lengths when experimenting. By...

First graders estimate length and height of items. They read the story of Jack and the Beanstalk and discuss estimation of size. Students predict the length and height of figures. They use lines and numbers on the centimeter rod and tape...

Students accurately measure several dimensions of common objects using calipers. They determine whether a manufactured product meets correct specifications for length, width, height, depth and diameter.

Students explore measuring tools by calculating heights and lengths of random objects. In this distance measurement lesson, students utilize the Internet service MapQuest to measure the distance between their current towns and many other...

In this measurement worksheet, learners measure the length and height of different objects given to them. Students complete 3 problems total.

Students measure using tools they have made. In this algebra lesson, students measure the height and distance using non-traditional measuring methods. They apply their findings to algebra and trigonometry properties of measurements.

In this kinesthetic measurement worksheet, students are asked to measure their height, head circumference, lower arm length, calf circumference, hand span and little finger length. They are to choose a unit of measurement for each part...

In this comparing length and height word problem worksheet, students compare drawings of objects visually to determine which is longer, longest, shorter, and shortest and make a chart to solve logical reasoning problems. Students solve...

In this volume worksheet, 8th graders solve and complete 6 different short answer questions and problems that relate to volume. First, they determine the number of cubes found altogether that has a given length, width and height. Then,...

In this science project worksheet, students create a container that catches a raw egg and prevents it from breaking. They measure that the container is under 19.5 inches in width and length. Students also calculate their scores from the...

Fourth graders use Unifix cubes to estimate standard measurements of length, weight, and capacity. After practicing, 4th graders complete an individual assessment by the teacher where they are asked questions about measurement and...

In this distance worksheet, students calculate the lengths of sides and diagonals of figures.  Students also compute lengths in shadow problems.  The solutions are provided by clicking on the "show answers" tab at the bottom of...

First graders measure weight and capacity. In this measurement activity, 1st graders explore visual examples of weight and capacity comparisons. Students also practice solving problems that their instructors model.

Second graders get many opportunities to practice their measurement skills.

Ten questions regarding volume of rectangular prisms are presented to your geometers, most of them requiring the multiplication of length, width, and height. The assignment is acutally an interactive resource in that learners answer...
