Trying to approach measuring in a fun and interactive way? You found it! This instructional activity has young learners first cut out two "rulers" - one with simple units marked, and another with blank squares. They begin by going around...

Learners explore linear measurement. They choose appropriate measuring tools, measure three classroom items, and record their results.  A class discussion ensues in which everyone decides the best way to present their data.

Discover ways to measure items without standard tools. In this measurements lesson, learners estimate how long certain objects are by measuring with a non-standard measuring tool. Students check their estimates with a ruler and share...

Combine measurement, following directions, physics, and art with one fun activity. Learners read a set of instruction to create three different kinds of paper airplanes. They measure, fold, and fly the planes, and record data and answer...

Send your scholars on a measuring scavenger hunt with this interactive instructional activity! They use a graphic organizer to record their findings as they search for items which are less than, more than, or just about one inch long....

In this measurement activity, students study the illustrated image and estimate how long the object is. Students circle the answer that gives the best estimate for the 9 problems.

In this length activity, students estimate how long each objects is in the 9 examples. Students then circle the answer that gives the best estimate.

In this measurements worksheet, students complete the 9 sets of length and weight measurement activities to help them learn measurements.

For this measurements instructional activity, students study the illustrated pictures in the 8 sets of problems. Students compare the pictures by length or weight.

In this length worksheet, students number the objects in order from shortest to longest. Students use the longest side of each to determine the order of length for the 9 problems.

In this length worksheet, students study the two objects in the 9 sets of problems and circle the object with the longest side. Students enhance their understanding of length.

Sixth graders investigate triangles and the inequality theorem. They will collaborate in groups to determine the length of a longest side of a triangle. Then relate the size of the triangle to its angles using protractors, yard sticks,...

For this weight measurement instructional activity, learners study the objects in the 11 examples. Students circle the object that appears to be heavier.

In this weight measurement learning exercise, students number the objects in order from heaviest to lightest in the 8 examples. Students write 1 next to the heaviest and 3 next to the lightest.

Starting with the instructions to draw an ellipse, and with great pictures, this sheet should help your pupils learn the shapes and measurements involved. Using push pins and string, your class can discover the axis and focus points...

In this weight measurements activity, students identify each picture and then estimate how much the object weighs. Students circle the answer in ounces and pounds that gives the best estimate for the 9 problems.

Students determine the length and width of leaf samples to the nearest millimeter and the circumference of trees. They participate in a discussion about the importance of collecting specimens carefully. They compile accurate...

Second graders explore how to use measurement in everyday life.

In this angles of polygons instructional activity, 10th graders solve and complete 18 different problems that include determining various interior and exterior angles. First, they determine the measure of various angles described in the...

This two-part reading comprehension exercise asks kids to read a short passage about cubes, rectangular prisms, spheres and pyramids, and then to respond to a series of questions about the article.

Students investigate woodworking and converting lengths to cubic measurements.  In this math conversions instructional activity, students examine the length of a piece of board, and its total area by using the formula for finding...

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...

In this exploring circles worksheet, 10th graders solve 12 different types of problems related to measuring circles in geometry. First, they refer to the figure on the sheet to name the center point, the three radii of the circle, the...

In this literacy activity, students look for the words that are related to the concept that is reviewed in the sheet. They also acquire new vocabulary.
