Capture the engagement of young mathematicians with this upper-elementary math instructional activity on measuring time and distance. Using Google Maps, students first measure and compare the distance and time it takes to travel...

Scholars learn about the metric system and produce a presentation on how to convert within the metric system. They then develop a brochure in support of legislation requiring the use of the metric system.

Cover some serious area in your geometry curriculum with this collection of worksheets. After first introducing the concept of area using the tiling method, this resource continues on to teach learners how to use...

Elevate young scientists' skills with unit conversion using the stair-step method. Detailed instructions and a neat stair-step diagram are on the first page. Four pages of practice problems follow, mostly with real-world applications....

Students define the parts of a database, search strategies to locate information electronically, create/modify databases, etc. and enter data into a prepared spreadsheet to perform calculations.

Teach the masses about the metric system with this hands-on measurement lesson. Given a fruit or vegetable, learners estimate, measure, and convert its mass using the metric units gram and kilogram.

Beginning geometers use tiles and grid paper to draw and calculate perimeter and area. Rectangles of different sizes are created and then measured to build understanding. The one-inch grid sheet referenced is attached. 

Ddefine the relationships between fractions, decimals, and percentages in a series of lessons. The class practices converting between these three versions of a number. They also find the common factor of a numerator and denominator and...

Follow six steps to implement this series of metric worksheets. Here, mathematicians exhibit their knowledge of problem solving, while converting units of measurement and label their answers with the applicable unit name.

Students 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. Students learn a mnemonic to assist in...

What's the moral of this story? Units save lives! Teach measurement conversion through storytelling in a quick math-based lesson. Young scientists learn how one country's decision to swap from imperial to metric standard units caused an...

Gain practice converting between metric units of volume and mass. The class goes over the procedures for making the conversions as a whole. The strategy used here includes making charts that show the relationships between the...

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...

In this metric measurement worksheet, students solve 15 problems in which three metric measurements in a series are analyzed. Students circle the smallest metric measurement in each problem.

In this metric system learning exercise, students read about metric and place value relationships, examine some sample problems, and then complete 5 conversion charts.

Students investigate the Metric System. They discuss the history of the Metric System, convert various units of measurement into the Metric System, and solve problems on a spreadsheet.

In this recognizing metric measurements worksheet, students read groups of three measurements and identify the one that is the smallest. Students solve 15 problems.

Students participate in a Mini-Olympics with measurements. In this measurement lesson, students throw items and predict how far they will go. They measure the actual distance and find the difference between that and their estimate. 

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...

Students participate in a metric Olympics. In this metric measurement lesson, students participate in 6 events that require them to predict, estimate, and measure lengths, masses, and area in metric units.

In this measurements worksheet, students recognize metric measurements. Students choose the largest metric measurement in each of the fifteen problems.

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...

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