Elementary and middle schoolers identify different units of liquid measurement. They use the online Visual Thesaurus to learn about the relationships between units of liquid measurement.

The history of math is fascinating! Utilize a woodcut primary source image from 1492 and posters from the 1930s to help geometers apply their volume-calculation skills to real-life questions. 

Lead the class in a review of the basic concepts and procedures involved in measuring length, weight, and volume. After whole group instruction, small groups and individuals practice measuring by completing a variety of fun activities...

Upper graders experiment with measurement. They estimate the length, volume, and weight of various objects, then rotate through stations making predictions concerning measurements and then testing their predictions.

Learners solve 14 word problems and 25 weight conversions.

Differentiated instruction through leveled learning contracts boosts scholars' knowledge of volume and capacity. Participants split into three groups based on ability and interest before choosing three activities from their learning...

In this liquid volume worksheet, students first practice measuring liquid volume by determining what volume is indicated on each of the graduated cylinders in milliliters for the first nine problems. Then they determine the temperature...

Measuring volume can be a mystery for 5th graders, but this hands-on activity gives the gift of discovery. The volume of simple rectangular solids and irregular shapes are calculated through various methods including displacing liquid in...

Introduce the procedure needed to find the volume of a rectangular prism. Learners rank various prisms such as cereal boxes and tissue boxes from smallest to largest volume. They use an applet to find the volume and surface area of each...

Upper graders convert liters and milliliters, choose the better estimates of capacity for objects, and choose the better unit to measure capacity. They solve eleven problems.

Using a concept attainment approach, learners identify surface area and volume by sorting examples (photos) that depict each concept (positive)  from those that don't (negative). Then as a class, they develop definitions of each...

Do your students have what it takes to be the king of math? Find out with this fun skills practice game that covers a wide range of topics from counting and basic operations to measurement and fractions.

Second graders explore liters and milliliters. They estimate volume and accurately measure the volume. Students plan a party and measure volume using liters and milliliters as part of the planning process.

In this volume and surface area activity, 10th graders solve and complete 10 different word problems that include measuring various solids and cylinders. First, they determine the surface area of a cube and the edge of it. Then, students...

As your scholars become comfortable with liquid mass and volume units, give them these addition and subtraction word problems to help apply the skill. There are no conversion or fraction skills involved. After solving four word problems,...

Students identify how many smaller units can be found in a later unit. In this geometry activity, students calculate the volume and the transfer amount to a smaller unit. They solve real life problems using the formula for volume.

High schoolers explore displacement. In this displacement and density instructional activity, pupils find the volume of irregular shaped objects. Afterward, they determine the volume of containers. They compute the amount of water...

Upper graders use a variety of tools to measure liquid and solid ingredients in an ice cream making recipe. Following written and oral directions and accurately timing themselves forms the basis of this lesson.

In this conversions worksheet, students complete 8 problems where they convert liquid volume measurements such as gallons, quarts, ounces, pints, and more.

Third graders practice measuring different objects. They discover the concepts of ratio and proportion and practice converting numbers into the correct unit. They read stories as well to help them with the concepts.

Most scholars associate density with floating, but how do scientists determine the exact density of an unknown liquid? The third lesson plan in a seven-part series challenges scholars to find the mass and volume of two unknown liquids....
