Measuring fun is here! In this week's adventure, children will explore volume, capacity, and weight and learn new math vocabulary words as they practice measurement with real and virtual measuring tools. Each section of this weeklong...

Download these free worksheets to sharpen your measurement skills. Sheets focus on temperature, conversion, area and perimeter, volume, and more.

Students will learn the concept of volume by determining the amount of sand that is needed to fill the long-jump pit at their school (or any rectangular- or square-shaped container). This lesson will explain the importance of knowing how...

Tells the story of how Archimedes discovered the Archimedes Principle and his water displacement method for determining the volume and density of an object. Provides an explanation and several examples of how it is done.

Practice estimating the volume of real life objects using milliliters and liters. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

This site contains an extensive list of various units of measurement known internationally and across several disciplines. Unit symbols are also included.

A geometry lesson that examines the history and structure of ancient pyramids and engages students in constructing pyramid models. A comprehensive lesson that considers students with diverse learning styles. Math concepts introduced...

Students find the volume and surface area of a rectangular box (e.g., a cereal box), and then figure out how to convert that box into a new, cubical box having the same volume as the original. As they construct the new, cube-shaped box...

Students learn how to write simple programs to evaluate formulas in several variables for lists of data. They apply these skills to the computation of areas, volumes and surface areas of familiar geometric solids.

Students will learn and reinforce skills for measuring perimeter and area of 2D shapes and measuring surface area and volume of 3D shapes.

Students will use two different methods to determine the densities of a variety of materials and objects. The first method involves direct measurement of the volumes of objects that have simple geometric shapes, while the second uses the...

About how many cells are in the human body? The purpose of this task is for students to apply the concepts of mass, volume, and density in a real-world context. Aligns with G-MG.A.2.

Pump gas molecules to a box and see what happens as the volume changes, add or remove heat, change gravity, and more. Measure the temperature and pressure, and discover how the properties of the gas vary in relation to each other....

In this task, young scholars must estimate the number of leaves on a large tree, taking into account various complex factors such as the area shaded by the tree, the area of irregularly shaped leaves, the uneven distribution of leaves,...
