Students decide what body measurements they need to make garments such as a pair of pants. They make a list, and work with a partner to take and record those measurements in centimeters. They discuss the use of centimeters.

Students determine how to convert measurement. In this English Measurement lesson, students discover interesting facts about the history of measurement. Students study formulas and practice using them.

Students use density to identify what metal a gold colored weight is made of. They use a spreadsheet to graph the experimental density of common metals and compare the know densities to their calculated density of the known metal.

In this scientific notation worksheet, students solve eight problems about the sun, the planets and the universe using very large numbers expressed in scientific notation.

Students describe the differences between an estimate and a guess. They create reasonable estimates based on comparison and activities. Students explain how estimation is helpful in showing the relative size on a scale. They also...

Third graders use pattern blocks of one shape at a time to try to create a similar shape. They compare the perimeter of the new figure with the perimeter of the original shape and look for a pattern. Students use the pattern to predict...

In this converting imperial units worksheet, students complete converting 12 metric units from imperial units to metric or vice versa.

Students examine various triangles and discuss how similar triangles have sides that are proportional. They utilize an ancient Egyptian method to determine the height of a flagpole.

Pupils explore weight. In this math lesson plan, students predict which item weighs more and discuss how they arrived at their decision. Pupils weigh several items to determine which weighs more.

Students examine how the circumference, diameter, and the relationship of Pi of a circle are related. They count the summer rings of a tree to determine its growth.

Third graders practice measuring different objects. They discover the concepts of ratio and proportion and practice converting numbers into the correct unit. They read stories as well to help them with the concepts.

Third graders study the meaning of the digits an any whole numbers with up to 3 decimal places. They order decimals with up to 3 decimal places and perform measuring tasks, using a range of units and scales.

Students are able to read and also use a variety of timetables and charts. They perform calculations with time, including 24-hour clock times and time zones. These are very important concepts that Students probably have to bear in mind...

Young scholars work with thermometers to complete problems about temperature. They investigate cooling patterns, how location affects temperature, and what happens when water having different temperature is mixed. They measure...

In this imperial units activity, students read the definitions to the following list of imperial units: mile, pint, gallon, foot, inch and pound.

Fourth graders measure cups, quarts, and liters.

Fourth graders practice estimating temperatures. They practice in Celsius and Fahrenheit.

Fifth graders use the Celsius and Fahrenheit thermometers to compare temperature readings. They use the Internet to find the temperatures of selected cities. After data is collected for five days, 5th graders graph the temperatures.

Third graders estimate the volume and mass of one marshmallow using appropriate standard units. They design and carry out an investigation to find the average of volume/mass of one marshmallow.

Students, in groups, estimate measurments and then select the tools needed and measure various items at Black Bayou Lake refuge.

Third graders describe an amount of turn from a particular position to another using the 'circular' benchmarks of 0, ++, ++, ++, and full turn. Estimation language such as 'just about', 'between', 'not quite', 'just over', and similar...

Students explore the size of a kilometer and the time it takes to cover this distance. They develop a concept of a km. They measure a distance of 1 km and the time taken to cover it.

Third graders use a number of problem solving strategies in this unit of lessons. They determine how to draw and model three-dimensional objects, use co-ordinate systems, determine probability of events, and identify paths of simple...

Students use seconds, minutes, and hours. They then discuss the size of a thousand. After that they read time in digital or analogue form.
