Student discuss their prior knowledge of the concept of measurement with class. Then, making a graphic organizer students use educational software to create a web which is then printed off for each student.

Students discuss the appropriateness of using a specific tool to measure and define an object. After measuring the area of their classroom and the objects in it with the appropriate tools, they create a floor plan that makes the most...

High schoolers develop an experiment to measure the amounts of ground level ozone present in their area. They collect data, access a related website and compare measurements. They present their findings.

In this measuring weather worksheet, students fill in the blank of 4 statements about the different tools scientists use to measure weather. This worksheet is a graphic organizer.

Fourth graders investigate measurement of linear and curved surfaces. In this math lesson, 4th graders discuss how to measure curved surfaces and work with a partner to measure various curved surfaces.

Ninth graders find the height of an object that would be difficult or impossible to measure directly. They construct and use a Clinometer to measure the angle of elevation (or depression). Students create a sketch of the measurement...

Learners participate in an investigation of winged organisms. Working with calipers, students measure the wing span of several butterflies from different areas. After recording their measurements, learners use their data to explain...

Young scholars measure the mass, volume, length and area of various objects. They are assigned a letter. The task is assesses students' abilities to make simple observations and measurements.

Students discover the basic concept of measuring.  In this mathematics relationship lesson, students identify length, volume, weight, time and area in order to measure different units.  Students measure items using different...

Middle schoolers explore measurements of rectangles. For this measurement comparison lesson, students discover the length, width, perimeter, and area of two different rectangles. Middle schoolers record their measurements on a chart to...

In this online math worksheet, learners practice adding and subtracting metric weight values. This excellent resource allows the students to check their answers, and to get "hints" should they run into difficulties. A terrific teaching...

In this online math worksheet, students must find the missing measurement in a variety of trapezoids. This excellent resource allows the students to check their answers, and to get "hints" should they run into difficulties. A terrific...

In this online math worksheet, students find the interior and exterior angles of polygons. This excellent resource allows the students to check their answers, and to get "hints" should they run into difficulties. A terrific teaching tool!

Students complete a variety of activities related to the nursery rhyme "Humpty Dumpty." They break a real egg and try to put it back together, and complete a class word web. Students also complete egg measurement activities and create...

In this math worksheet, students cut out two rulers and use them to measure a variety of items. One of the rule is in centimeters and the other is in inches.

Students measure angles of refraction as the light travels through gelatin.  In this experimental lesson students complete a refraction lab and plot their data.

Chart your way to an understanding of nanoscale. Using a Google map, learners estimate a radius around their location of 1,000 and 1,000,000 meters. Predicting what 1,000,000,000 meters would look like takes them off the charts!...

Here's an interactive that complements your lesson plans. Users of the resource adjust one of the angles in a complementary set to see how it affects the other. A set of challenge questions assesses understanding.

Soccer is all about angles. Young mathematicians use an interactive to correctly position the path of a soccer ball so that it reaches the goal. They consider complementary angles when answering a set of challenge questions.

The itsy, bitsy spider went up the virtual wall. An interactive allows users to change the angles in a spider web. They must attend to supplementary angles as they answer challenge questions throughout the interactive.

Explore linear conversions using an engaging interactive lesson. Learners drag a point on a graph to discover the equivalent degrees in Fahrenheit and Celsius. Embedded questions highlight key features such as slope and the...

A six-question interactive takes mathematicians to Lollipop Land where they manipulate lollipop trees to make equivalent ratios.  Question types include multiple-choice, true or false, and a discussion. 

Add to your teaching tools an interactive presentation in that it's meant to be used in tandem with manipulative cubes. Each slide asks pupils to create a shape that uses a certain number of unit cubes. They are encouraged to make as...
