Young scholars measure an assortment of items using metric measurements. In this measurement instructional activity, students measure using length, mass, and volume units of measurement. They convert between units. Young scholars learn a...

In a cross-curricular measurement and literacy lesson, your class will identify and compare cooking measurement instruments. They read a recipe and sequence a set of similar instructions in which the steps have been mixed up....

In this conversion factors worksheet, students convert 15 measurements from one unit in the SI system of measurement to another unit. Students show their work and indicate the unit of measurement. Conversion factors are given.

Learners practice converting metric measurements by completing the activities listed in this lesson. They first practice measuring common objects. They then convert metric measurements using the included worksheet.

Engage the class in exploring linear measurement and map scales. They work in groups to measure various distances in the classroom and convert measurements to other units as directed by the teacher. To access this Word document, click on...

How do you convert from one measurement to another? Pupils use unit rates to convert measurements from one unit to another in the 21st segment in a 29-part series. They convert within the same system to solve length, capacity,...

Students participate in a Metric Olympics event and use metric measurements to measure actual performances in their events. They throw a plastic straw for a javelin event, participate in a long jump and high jump event, and a variety of...

Students investigate unit conversion.  For this unit conversion lesson, students will build models of square and cubic centimeters using grid paper and generate formula tables for converting units of area and volume.  The...

Young chemists create gold nanoparticles as they learn to measure accurately with the metric system. They create an advertisement for the application of nanotechnology to complete the first instructional activity in a series of six.

Seventh graders convert measurements in recipes to metric measurements and prepare the food items. They create a metric measurement cookbook.

Students calculate the standard and metric measurements of a playground. In this measurement lesson plan, students use GPS coordinates and graphing calculators to determine the dimensions of an area outside of the school in both standard...

Conversion immersion — it's measuring mania! A set of four activities teaches scholars to convert between customary and metric units. Resource covers unit conversions in length, temperature, weight/mass, and volume.

Build a basic understanding of units of measure and create a great foundation for your learners. The lesson gives a complete overview of everything measurement, from types of measurement to rounding to conversions — it has it all! 

In a math or life science class, "mini-me" models are created with cardstock to reflect a 1:10 scale of students' bodies. Learners measure each others' heights with meter sticks, and then reduce the size by 10. After this exercise, they...

Students, in groups, measure and record each other's height. They identify measurement conversion methods and use online resources to convert measured heights to multiple systems.

Learners measure using both metric and standard measures. They convert from one standard to the next while measuring distances in their home or classroom.

Students explore the concept of measurement. In this measurement lesson, students discuss what specific measurement tools such as an odometer measure. Students recite a measurement poem. Students make a foldable with conversion units...

Specific learning goals are grouped for different grade levels spanning pre-kindergarten to eighth grade. After preparing the questions and materials, you call a learner to come in front of the class and play the game. Young learners...

Upper graders examine all angles. In this angle lesson, pupils practice measuring, drawing, and naming angles. They create posters regarding angle vocabulary.

Eighth graders convert metric measurements.

Hold measurements to a different metric. Class members convert the measurements of a dog's tumor to explain the size to its owner. Using cards, learners match metric measurements with their English equivalents. They then read articles to...

Sixth graders convert metric units of measurement. Classmates observe the use of a mnemonic for conversions. In groups, 6th graders practice converting metric units. They use a chart to describe how to convert between metric units of...

Fifth graders access prior knowledge to complete a do now using metric conversion. For this metric conversion lesson, 5th graders will respond to problems and analyze for a possible mnemonic device.

Students explore the measurements of capacity by constructing a creative project in the shape of a man. The man has body parts that represent different units of measurement and can be used to make conversions. This is highly concrete and...
