First graders investigate how to measure time.  In this time analysis lesson, 1st graders investigate ways to measure the time difference between two people writing.  Students share their time measuring ideas with their...

In this addition activity, students add amount of liquid measures in 40 problems. They add liters and convert the sums to milliliters. They add gallons without making a conversion. They enter the sums on-line and print the pages as needed.

Learners compare two lengths using the area of a square. In this geometry lesson, students solve problems using ratio and proportion of the two shapes. They solve equations by taking the square root of both sides.

In this converting measurements worksheet, students use the table to solve 6 story problems that require students to convert customary units and units of time.

In this customary units of weight worksheet, students use the math table that shows the normal weight of balls used in various professional sports. Students use the numbers in each table to solve the problems.

In this 8th grade science standardized test practice worksheet, 8th graders respond to 80 multiple choice and open-ended questions regarding science topics. The questions correlate to the New York academic standards.

Sixth graders explore standard and nonstandard measurement. In this measurement lesson, 6th graders estimate the lengths of different objects and write about their observations during measuring. Students work in groups to...

Students calculate the length of the classroom using non-standard units of measurement and estimation. Using a cracker box, they discuss measuring various objects in the room as a class, and independently estimate and measure the length...

Students create a ruler for the purpose of measurement using the standard and metric systems. The rulers are of different lengths and are compared to one another. Then students make conversions of different lengths using both systems of...

Students find the areas of geometric shapes. In this geometry lesson students find and measure the sides, perimeters, and areas of quadrilaterals, triangles, and circles. Students relate the measures to the others by using formulas.

Learners determine the amount of iron in a sample of cereal. In this iron lesson plan, students use a computer colorimeter to measure the amount of light absorbed by the solutions. They create a calibration curve using standard solutions...

Eighth graders build and run mousetrap cars in order to measure distance, time, and mass for their cars. They use these measurements to calculate average speed and kinetic energy, then create a slide show to visually explain how the car...

Eighth graders create a survey, gather data and describe the data using measures of central tendency (mean, median and mode) and spread (range, quartiles, and interquartile range). Students use these measures to interpret, compare and...

Students investigate time. In this investigative lesson, students run through an obstacle course using standard timers. They record the time and apply this knowledge to problems in math. Students record their predictions, and graph...

Students investigate the concept of earthquakes and the different types of magnitudes. They research the Richter scale and how it is used to measure the intensities of earthquakes. Students then apply the concept by completing a...

In this math and holiday worksheet, students solve 10 mixed math word problems. They read problems that include proper British English language. They solve the problems using multiplication, metric measurement, standard measurement,...

In this fraction worksheet, students use twizzlers to demonstrate various equivalent fractions. Students complete ten greater than, equal to, and less than questions.

Third graders create Powerpoint templates of pictures they have taken. Using both standard and metrric measurement units, they describe what units of measurement they would use for each object. In the computer lab, they work in pairs to...

Third graders practice measuring items by examining classroom objects.  In this geometry lesson, 3rd graders utilize measuring tools to find the weight, time, length or temperature of specific classroom items.  Students predict...

Take young mathematicians on an exploration of the world of 3-D geometry with this seven-lesson unit. After first defining the terms perimeter, area, and volume and how they apply to the real world, students continue on...

Math whizzes utilize spreadsheets to examine linear modeling. They roll marbles down a ramp from three different heights and measure how far they roll. They use Excel to record their data and create a plot of their data.

The first STEM lesson in a group of 10 explores composting. After discussing how to make a better tomorrow, classes are challenged to track garbage in their communities, visit a local waste management facility, and conduct a survey...

Students determine an equilibrium constant using a spectrophotometer. In this equilibrium lesson plan, students calibrate a spectrophotometer with 5 solutions in order to prepare the spectrophotometer for the experiment. Students measure...

Few topics engage young mathematicians as much as learning about money. Through a series of shared readings and hands-on activities, children explore the US currency system, learning how to count money and calculate change as they create...
