Here is a good, cross-curricular measurement and estimation activity. Learners practice measuring paper strips to create an art project. This is a great way to introduce the ruler, and how it used, to your students.

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...

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 worksheet, students number the objects in order from longest to shortest. Students compare the objects using the longest side of each object. Students write 1 next to the longest length and 3 next to the shortest for the 9...

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.

Students identify and compare the characteristics of floor plans and zoning to family activities and needs. They draw an accurate floor plan--either existing or a work in progress to scale. Then, students roughly sketch their bedroom...

Eighth graders compose an eight measure piece in a major key that utilized some form of wind instrument, body percussion and voice. They notate their composition on staff paper prior to the assessment and perform their composition.

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.

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.

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.

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...

Second graders explore geometric shapes. In this activity about geometry, 2nd graders create their own vest using geometric shapes. Students work with a partner and fit their partner for the vest they design. Students understand...

Young artists divide a piece of graph paper into sections using rectangles, squares, and triangles. They then fill each section with patterns of shape and color. Elementary graders describe how their patterns are organized. Secondary...

Fourth graders draw a rough floor plan of a house to scale without using a ruler to determine measurements. They see how architects use scale to draw blueprints, and solve math problems using scale.

Students observe and discuss the following musical terms and their symbols: staff, measure, bar line, double bar line, treble clef, bass clef, time signature, common time, cut time, quarter note, half note, dotted half note, whole note,...

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...

Students examine the use of signal flags on vessels. They use measurements and symmetry to create their very own signal flag. Students work together and as individuals to solve problems and express their ideas.

In this estimate weight worksheet, students study the illustrated image and estimate how much the object weighs. Students circle the best estimate for the 9 problems.

Young mathematicians explore number values by utilizing food as a visual aide. They discuss the differences between halves, fourths, and eighths and how they are visually represented by a pizza. Then create their own pizza in class and...
