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

Students convert standard units of measurement to metric units using tape measures, meter sticks, rulers, and online conversion calculators.

Students identify the most appropriate metric prefix to use. They describe the usefulness of a system based on tens. Students compare the metric system to the American system of measurement. They develop a metric flip book to use a...

Students convert measurements within the metric system. In this measurement instructional activity, students explore the different units of the metric system and practice converting numbers from one unit to another.

Eighth graders participate in the mini-metric Olympics. In this measurement instructional activity, 8th graders solve real-world problems that require them to calculate length, area, and volume in metric units.

Students measure a set of Russian dolls using the metric system. In this measurement lesson plan, students identify certain relationships between sets of measurements by measuring a set of Russian dolls and presenting their findings to...

Students determine the relationship between bone length and height. In groups, they are told the race and gender of the individual and discuss how this affects height. They measure the lengths of the bones in metric measurements and...

Students use both standard and metric measurement. They compare and contrast standard to non-standard units of measurement.

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.

Young scholars investigate measurement.  In this fifth/sixth grade mathematics lesson, students explore the relationship between inches and centimeters.  Young scholars measure their height in inches or centimeters and convert...

Students calculate actual building measurements from a village map using concepts of ratios and scale in this ten instructional activity mini-unit. They practice measuring angles, multiplying decimals, estimating height and length, and...

Young scholars review the units of the metric system, convert from the US system of units of measure to the metric system, and estimate measures before converting between the two systems of measurement.

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...

Third graders measure items around the classroom using meter sticks. In this measurement lesson plan, 3rd graders are taught how to measure the length of an item with a meter stick. Inches, centimeters, millimeters, decimeters, and...

Eighth graders explore the metric system. After a class demonstration, they complete a worksheet on converting metric units. In groups, 8th graders measure their height. They graph the results of the classroom. They convert heights...

Students observe how to measure in metric units.  In this investigative lesson students compare different units of volume to see how things are measured.

Young scholars practice the fundamentals of converting metric measurements. They translate a mathematical idea from one form to another and compare and convert a given measurement to another unit within the same measurement system....

Learners measure their body. In this measurement lesson, students use a string to measure their height and the circumference of their head. They record this information on the worksheet provided and answer questions as a group. 

Students study the metric system and examine other ways to measure.  In this measurement lesson students complete activities that help them to better understand the measuring system. 

Students choose appropriate units of measure and predict length using the metric system. In this measurement instructional activity, students participate in activities in which they predict, measure, and record linear measurements such...

Students explore the concept of the golden ratio. For this golden ratio lesson, students measure objects to determine if their measurements fit the golden ratio. Students calculate the average measurements of the class.

Pupils convert basic measurement in English and Metric Units.

Second graders determine the correct unit of measure to use for different situations. In this measuring instructional activity, 2nd graders are introduced to different unit of measure. Students study the origin of measurement and...
