Students are able to observe and measure the variability in the length of the forearm and the length of the foot and to test a common belief of the foot is equal to the length of the forearm.

Students analyze data using central tendencies. In this statistics lesson, students collect and analyze data using the mean, median and mode. They create a power point representing the different measures of central tendency.

In this voltage worksheet, students answer ten questions about RMS amplitude, DC power sources, AC alternators and the measurements used for voltage in power lines.

In this lab design and lab skills worksheet, learners answer questions about experimental design including finding variables, determining controls, and graphing data. They answer questions about microscopy and label the parts of a...

Learners follow detailed directions to create triangles on their graphing calculator. In this properties of triangles lesson, they will create triangles on their calculators using the Cabri Jr. application. They then identify three...

In this estimating and measuring worksheet, learners will estimate the capacity of 10 objects and record information in liters and milliliters. Then students will measure the actual capacity of these objects and record to complete a table.

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

Students use formulas to design and create a table.  For this calculations lesson students create basal measuring tapes that will be used to measure woodlot stocking levels. 

In this non-standard units instructional activity, students circle the best unit to use to measure given items, drawing or writing to explain their work. Houghton Mifflin text is referenced.

Students observe leaves. In this math and science cross-curriculum leaf lesson, students take a nature walk and collect leaves. Attributes are assigned and leaves are sorted in various ways. Students use non-standard or standard units of...

In 2006, New Horizons began its mission to fly to Pluto. As it continues its journey, scholars track its progress with the help of an informative website, all the while reinforcing measurement concepts with the construction of a scaled...

Young scholars examine why having standardized units of measurement is important. They investigate the use of non-standard measure, twigs, while measuring the piece of tape. Next, they experiment with straws, paper clips, and rulers...

High schoolers write and solve equations converting between metric and standard measurement as they travel southeast on the Al-Can Highway.

Learners study a way to quantify the process of photosynthesis during a given time using the Elodea plant. They design a hypothesis that they test in the hands on activity. They compare the amounts of photosynthesis that occur during low...

Looking for a solving word problems using nonstandard units worksheet? This one's for you. Learners use paper clips, ones blocks, footsteps, and handprints to measure lengths. Students solve six problems.

Add visual representation to teaching place value with a magnitude model. Using adding machine tape, pupils build a linear place value strip from 1 to 100.

Measuring length with nonstandard units is the focus of this word problem learning exercise. Youngsters problem solve using cubes, paper clips, footprints, and pencils. They solve six problems.

Learners estimate and determine the number of cents (pennies) that are needed to equal the mass of a variety of common objects. They develop a process for measuring and explore concepts related to units of measurement.

Young statisticians use and interpret measures of center and spread such as mean, median, and mode as well as range. They use box plots to represent their data and answer questions regarding the correspondence between data sets and the...

Students practice using graphing tools to make tables, bar charts, scatter graphs, and histograms, using census data. They apply the concept of measures of central tendency, examine the effects of outliers. They also write inferences and...

Statisticians analyze a data set of student IQs by finding measures of central tendency and dispersion such as mean, median, mode, and quartiles. They practice using a graphing calculator to find the values and analyze box plots and...

Learners discover the property of density while participating in a lab exercise. In this scientific measuring instructional activity, pupils utilize a scale to measure the density of different metal materials. They document their work...

Too much material will weigh you down. The sixth segment in a series of 22 highlights how weight affects a plane. Pupils learn that engineers take the properties of materials, including weight, when designing something. 

Any first grader can master the Common Core math standards with this checklist! With each standard rewritten as an affirmative I can statement, children are provide with clear goals to work toward throughout the school...
